Hawzah News Agency- Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, from Ya’qub ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from Ibrahim ibn Abd al-Hamid, from al-Sabbah, the survent of Imam Sadiq (pbuh), who said:

کُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ علیه السّلام فَلَمَّا مَرَرْنَا بِأُحُدٍ قَالَ تَرَی الثَّقْبَ الَّذِی فِیهِ؟

قُلْتُ نَعَمْ

قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَسْتُ أَرَاهُ وَ عَلَامَهُ الْکِبَرِ ثَلَاثٌ کِلَالُ الْبَصَرِ وَ انْحِنَاءُ الظَّهْرِ وَ رِقَّهُ الْقَدَمِ.

I was with Imam Sadiq (pbuh), and when we passed by Mount Uhud, he said: “Do you see the whole in it?”

I said: “Yes.”

He said: “As for me, I do not see it. And the signs of old age are three: deficiency of sight, bending of the back, and thinness of the feet.”

Al-Khisal,Book 3,Hadith 23
