7. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from Salih ibn ‘Aqaba from ‘Amr ibn Shimr from Jabir from abu Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following.
“Once the Holy Prophet (s.a) said to Fatima, “Rise and bring that tray.” She went and took out the tray with fresh bread and steaming meat on it. The Holy Prophet (s.a), Ali, Fatima, al-Hassan and al-Husayn (a.s.) continued to have their meals from it for thirteen days. Then ’Umm Ayman saw al-Husayn with certain things with him. She asked, “Where from did you get it?” He replied, “We are having this for our meal for the past thirteen days.” ’Umm Ayman came to Fatima and said, “O Fatima, “If ’Umm Ayman would have anything it is all for Fatima and her sons but if Fatima would have anything then there is nothing in it for ’Umm Ayman. She (Fatima) then took out from the tray food for her and ’Umm Ayman ate but the food from the tray banished. The Holy Prophet (s.a) said, “Had you not fed her (a non-infallible) from it you and your descendants would have had food from it up to the Day of Judgment.” Abu Ja‘far (a.s.) then said, “The tray is with us and our Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) will take it out at his time.”
7ـ وَبِهَذَا الاسْنَادِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لِفَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) يَا فَاطِمَةُ قُومِي فَأَخْرِجِي تِلْكَ الصَّحْفَةَ فَقَامَتْ فَأَخْرَجَتْ صَحْفَةً فِيهَا ثَرِيدٌ وَعُرَاقٌ يَفُورُ فَأَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَعَلِيٌّ وَفَاطِمَةُ وَالْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ ثَلاثَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ إِنَّ أُمَّ أَيْمَنَ رَأَتِ الْحُسَيْنَ مَعَهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مِنْ أَيْنَ لَكَ هَذَا قَالَ إِنَّا لَنَأْكُلُهُ مُنْذُ أَيَّامٍ فَأَتَتْ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا فَاطِمَةُ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لِفَاطِمَةَ وَوُلْدِهَا وَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ فَاطِمَةَ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَلَيْسَ لامِّ أَيْمَنَ مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَأَخْرَجَتْ لَهَا مِنْهُ فَأَكَلَتْ مِنْهُ أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ وَنَفِدَتِ الصَّحْفَةُ فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَمَا لَوْ لا أَنَّكِ أَطْعَمْتِهَا لاكَلْتِ مِنْهَا أَنْتِ وَذُرِّيَّتُكِ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَالصَّحْفَةُ عِنْدَنَا يَخْرُجُ بِهَا قَائِمُنَا (عجل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف) فِي زَمَانِهِ.
