Hadith 2070
۞
4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Mu’ammar ibn Khallad who has said the following
“Abu al-Hassan (a.s.), has said, ‘Once I left home to visit Dawud ibn ‘Isa ibn Ali who camped at Maymun well. I had two thick pieces of clothes on me and I saw an old woman and two girls with her. I asked her if she sells them. She said, ‘Yes, but a man like you will not buy them.’ I asked, ‘Why is it so?’ She replied, ‘One is a singer and the other is a flute player.’ I then met Dawud ibn ‘Isa who treated me with high esteem and gave me my seat. When I left, he asked his companions, ‘Do you know him? This is Ali ibn Musa. People of Iraq believe obedience to him is obligatory.’”
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( صلوات الله عليه ) قَالَ
خَرَجْتُ وَ أَنَا أُرِيدُ دَاوُدَ بْنَ عِيسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ كَانَ يَنْزِلُ بِئْرَ مَيْمُونٍ وَ عَلَيَّ ثَوْبَانِ غَلِيظَانِ فَرَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً عَجُوزاً وَ مَعَهَا جَارِيَتَانِ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَجُوزُ أَ تُبَاعُ هَاتَانِ الْجَارِيَتَانِ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَ لَكِنْ لَا يَشْتَرِيهِمَا مِثْلُكَ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ قَالَتْ لِأَنَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا مُغَنِّيَةٌ وَ الْأُخْرَى زَامِرَةٌفَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى دَاوُدَ بْنِ عِيسَى فَرَفَعَنِي وَ أَجْلَسَنِي فِي مَجْلِسِي فَلَمَّا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ تَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هَذَا هَذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى الَّذِي يَزْعُمُ أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ أَنَّهُ مَفْرُوضُ الطَّاعَةِ .
