18. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from
‘Abdallah ibn Ja’far ibn Ibrahim al-Ja’fari has said that ‘Abdallah ibn al-Mufaddal the slave of ‘Abdallah ibn Ja’far ibn abu Talib narrated the following. “When al-Husayn ibn Ali who was killed in al-Fakhkh, began his uprising he controlled the city of Madina and called Musa ibn Ja’far (a.s.) to pledge allegiance for him. When he was brought before him (al-Husayn he Musa ibn Ja’far (a.s.) ) said, “Son of my uncle, “Do not impose on what the son of your uncle imposed on your uncle abu ‘Abdallah (Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.) ) and then you will experience from me what I do not want as it happened with abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.).” al-Husayn said to him, “I just proposed the matter to you if you like you may take part in it, if you would dislike it I will not impose on you, Allah is the supporter. He then said farewell to him. Abu al-Hassan, Musa ibn Ja’far (a.s.) said to him when saying farewell, “Son of my uncle, you will be killed, fight good. The people are transgressors. They call themselves believers but they hide in them atheism. We are for Allah and to Him we return. I leave request justice for you as my people from Allah.” Al-Husayn then went to fight. His case took shape the way it did. All of them were killed as the Imam (a.s.) had informed.”
18ـ وَبِهَذَا الاسْنَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الله بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الله بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ
لَمَّا خَرَجَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمَقْتُولُ بِفَخٍّ وَاحْتَوَى عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ دَعَا مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ إِلَى الْبَيْعَةِ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ لا تُكَلِّفْنِي مَا كَلَّفَ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ عَمَّكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله فَيَخْرُجَ مِنِّي مَا لا أُرِيدُ كَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يُرِيدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحُسَيْنُ إِنَّمَا عَرَضْتُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْراً فَإِنْ أَرَدْتَهُ دَخَلْتَ فِيهِ وَإِنْ كَرِهْتَهُ لَمْ أَحْمِلْكَ عَلَيْهِ وَالله الْمُسْتَعَانُ ثُمَّ وَدَّعَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حِينَ وَدَّعَهُ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ إِنَّكَ مَقْتُولٌ فَأَجِدَّ الضِّرَابَ فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ فُسَّاقٌ يُظْهِرُونَ إِيمَاناً وَيَسْتُرُونَ شِرْكاً وَإِنَّا لله وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ أَحْتَسِبُكُمْ عِنْدَ الله مِنْ عُصْبَةٍ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا كَانَ قُتِلُوا كُلُّهُمْ كَمَا قَالَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام )
