16. Muhammad ibn al-Hassan has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Ali and ‘Abdallah ibn al-Marzuban from (Muhammad) ibn Sinan who has said the following.
“Once I went to see abu al-Hassan Musa (a.s.) one year before he would leave for Iraq. His son Ali (a.s.) was also in the meeting. He looked at me and said, “O Muhammad, during this year a movement will take place do not be disturbed in it.” The narrator has said that he then asked the Imam (a.s.), “‘May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, what that will be? What you said has made me very anxious.” The Imam (a.s.) said, “I will journey to the tyrant. From his and one after him I will not suffer any serious harm.” The narrator has said that he then asked The Imam (a.s.), “‘May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, what then will happen?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “ Allah causes the unjust to go astray and He does whatever He wills.” The narrator has said that he then asked the Imam (a.s.), “‘May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, what is that will happen?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Whoever will do injustice to my son this one, reject his Imamat (Leadership with Divine Authority) after me it would like doing injustice to Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) and reject his Imamat (Leadership with Divine Authority) after the Messenger of Allah.” The narrator has said that he then asked The Imam (a.s.), “By Allah, if Allah will grant me long life I will acknowledge his right and will affirm his Imamat (Leadership with Divine Authority).” The Imam (a.s.) said, “You have spoken the truth, O Muhammad. Allah will grant you long life.You will acknowledge his right and affirm his Imamat (Leadership with Divine Authority) and the Imamat of the one after him.” The narrator has said that he then asked The Imam (a.s.), “Who will he be?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Muhammad, his son.” The narrator has said that he then asked The Imam (a.s.), “From me it is agreed and accepted.”
16ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَعُبَيْدِ الله بْنِ الْمَرْزُبَانِ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ الْعِرَاقَ بِسَنَةٍ وَعَلِيٌّ ابْنُهُ جَالِسٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ حَرَكَةٌ فَلا تَجْزَعْ لِذَلِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا يَكُونُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَدْ أَقْلَقَنِي مَا ذَكَرْتَ فَقَالَ أَصِيرُ إِلَى الطَّاغِيَةِ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لا يَبْدَأُنِي مِنْهُ سُوءٌ وَمِنَ الَّذِي يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا يَكُونُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يُضِلُّ الله الظَّالِمِينَ وَيَفْعَلُ الله مَا يَشَاءُ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا ذَاكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ مَنْ ظَلَمَ ابْنِي هَذَا حَقَّهُ وَجَحَدَ إِمَامَتَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِي كَانَ كَمَنْ ظَلَمَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حَقَّهُ وَجَحَدَهُ إِمَامَتَهُ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ قُلْتُ وَالله لَئِنْ مَدَّ الله لِي فِي الْعُمُرِ لاسَلِّمَنَّ لَهُ حَقَّهُ وَلاقِرَّنَّ لَهُ بِإِمَامَتِهِ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَمُدُّ الله فِي عُمُرِكَ وَتُسَلِّمُ لَهُ حَقَّهُ وَتُقِرُّ لَهُ بِإِمَامَتِهِ وَإِمَامَةِ مَنْ يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَنْ ذَاكَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ ابْنُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الرِّضَا وَالتَّسْلِيمُ.
