4. Muhammad b. Yahya narrated from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Barqi from Khalaf b. Hammad from ’Aban b. Taghlib from Abu Abdillah (as) has said
“A person with Divine authority is before the people, with the people and after the people.”
4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) الْحُجَّةُ قَبْلَ الْخَلْقِ وَمَعَ الْخَلْقِ وَبَعْدَ الْخَلْقِ.
