15. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Ali ibn al-Hassan from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following.
“I asked abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the in charge of this matter (Leadership with Divine Authority) nad he said. “ The in charge of the task does not trifle or play. At this time abu al-Hassan, Musa came. He was very small. With him there was a baby goat of Makka and he was saying to her, “Prostrate before your Lord. Abu ‘Abdallah then took him and hugged him and said, “May Allah take my soul and the souls of my parents in service for the cause of one who does not trifle and engage in amusement.”
15ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ صَاحِبِ هَذَا الامْرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الامْرِ لا يَلْهُو وَلا يَلْعَبُ وَأَقْبَلَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ وَمَعَهُ عَنَاقٌ مَكِّيَّةٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَهَا اسْجُدِي لِرَبِّكِ فَأَخَذَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَضَمَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي مَنْ لا يَلْهُو وَلا يَلْعَبُ.
