11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa and mdd ibn abu ‘Abdallah and Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Sahl ibn Ziyad all from al-Hassan ibn al-‘Abbass ibn al-Jarish from abu Ja‘far al-Thani (a.s.) who has said the following.
“Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) said to ibn ‘Abbass, “Layla al-Qadr (the night of destiny) comes every year and that night the command for the whole year descend down. To receive that command are the Leaders with Divine Authority after the Messenger of Allah.” Ibn ‘Abbass then asked, “Who are they?” He said, “I and the eleven persons from my descendant who all are Imams, (Muhaddathun) such persons to whom angles speak.”
11ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ الْحَرِيشِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
لابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّهُ يَنْزِلُ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَمْرُ السَّنَةِ وَلِذَلِكَ الامْرِ وُلاةٌ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مَنْ هُمْ قَالَ أَنَا وَأَحَدَ عَشَرَ مِنْ صُلْبِي أَئِمَّةٌ مُحَدَّثُونَ.
