Hadith 47
۞
7. He said: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Umar al-Ji’abi reported from Abul Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Saeed, who reported from Yahya ibn Zakariyya, who reported from Uthman ibn Isa, who reported from Ahmad ibn Sulayman and Imran ibn Marwan, from Sama’ah ibn Mehran who said
I heard Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad (as) say: "The person mentioned by Allah in the verse: ’And mention in the Book, Ismail; indeed he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger Prophet.’ [19:54] he was the one who Allah tested by his people, so they pulled off the skin from his face and scalp. Then Allah sent His angel unto him, who said: "The Lord of the entire creation greets you with peace; and says: I have seen what your people have done to you, so ask Me whatever you want." He said: "O Lord of the worlds, I have an ideal in the person of al-Husayn ibn ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon them." Then Abu Abdillah said: "He was not Ismail the son of Ibrahim, peace be upon our Prophet and upon both of them."
7 - قال: أخبرني أبو بكر محمد بن عمر الجعابي قال: حدثنا أبو العباس أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد قال: حدثنا يحيى بن زكريا قال: حدثنا عثمان بن عيسى، عن أحمد بن سليمان، وعمران بن مروان، عن سماعة بن مهران قال
سمعت أبا عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام يقول: إن الذي قال الله في كتابه: " و أذكر في الكتاب إسماعيل إنه كان صادق الوعد وكان رسولا نبيا " سلط الله عليه قومه، فكشطوا وجهه وفروة رأسه فبعث الله إليه ملكا فقال له: إن رب العالمين يقرئك السلام ويقول: [إنه] قد رأيت ما صنع بك قومك، فسلني ما شئت. فقال: يا رب العالمين لي بالحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب عليهما السلام أسوة، قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: وليس هو إسماعيل بن إبراهيم على نبينا وعليهما السلام.
