16. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from one of our people from ‘Ubays ibn Hisham that ‘Umar al-Rummaniy narrated to from Fayd ibn al-Mukhtar the following. “Once when
I was in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) that abu al-Hassan Musa (a.s.) came and he was a young boy. I held and kissed him. Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) said, “You are the ark and he is the captain.” The narrator has said that he wen to perform Hajj next year and I had two thousand Dinars. I sent one thousand toabu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) and one thousand to him (abu al-Hassan). When went to see abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) he said, “You have considered him equal to me.” I said, “I did so because of your words.” He then said, “I swear by Allah, I did not do so, in fact, Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has done it for him (abu al-Hassan Musa (a.s.).”
16ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عُبَيْسِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ الرُّمَّانِيُّ عَنْ فَيْضِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ
إِنِّي لَعِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِذْ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَهُوَ غُلامٌ فَالْتَزَمْتُهُ وَقَبَّلْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنْتُمُ السَّفِينَةُ وَهَذَا مَلاحُهَا قَالَ فَحَجَجْتُ مِنْ قَابِلٍ وَمَعِي أَلْفَا دِينَارٍ فَبَعَثْتُ بِأَلْفٍ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَأَلْفٍ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ يَا فَيْضُ عَدَلْتَهُ بِي قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِقَوْلِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَالله مَا أَنَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بَلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَعَلَهُ بِهِ.
