14. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ari has narrated from ‘Ubaydallah from al-Hassan ibn Musa al-Khashshab from Ali ibn Sam‘Abdallah from Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Ribat from ’Udhayna from Zurara who has said the following.
“I heard abu Ja‘far say, ‘There will be twelve Imams from the family of Muhammad and they all will be (Muhaddathun), persons to whom angles speak. They will of the descendants of the Messenger of Allah and Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.). The Messenger of Allah and Ali are their anscesters.”
14ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الاشْعَرِيُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ الله عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْخَشَّابِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ الامَامَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كُلُّهُمْ مُحَدَّثٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَوُلْدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَرَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَعلي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) هُمَا الْوَالِدَانِ.
