It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached the Ka'bah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told me to sit down, and he himself climbed onto my shoulders. I tried to stand up but was unable to do so. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed signs of weakness in me, he got down, sat himself, and said to me: "Climb onto my shoulders." So I mounted the shoulders of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he stood up with me. At that moment, I felt as if, if I wished, I could touch the horizon. In any case, I climbed onto the House of Allah and saw a statue made of brass and copper. I began to push it from the right, left, front, and back. When I gained control over it, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Throw it down." So I threw it down, and it shattered like glass. Then I came down. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and I hurriedly set off, trying to outpace each other, until we entered the houses and hid. We feared that someone might encounter us.
