Hadith 802
۞
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu Najran from Safwan al-Jammal from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.). Safwan has said the following.
“Mansur ibn Hazim said to him, ‘May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, the (human) souls pass through mornings and evenings if that (death for you) comes then who (will be the Imam)?” Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) then said, “If that happens then he is your companion.” He tapped the right shoulder of abu al-Hassan with his hand, as I know. He was five (feet tall or years old) at that time and ‘Abdallah ibn Ja‘far was also present with us.”
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ لَهُ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي إِنَّ الانْفُسَ يُغْدَى عَلَيْهَا وَيُرَاحُ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَمَنْ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى مَنْكِبِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) الايْمَنِ فِي مَا أَعْلَمُ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ خُمَاسِيٌّ وَعَبْدُ الله بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ جَالِسٌ مَعَنَا.
