1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah from Muhammad ibn Muslim and al-Fudayl ibn Yasar and Burayd al-‘Ijliy and Zurarah ibn ‘A‘yan who has narrated the following
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, The ordained shares do not face deficiency and they are not more than six.’” It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah a similar Hadith.
1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَالْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَبُرَيْدٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ وَزُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
السِّهَامُ لا تَعُولُ وَلا تَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ. وَعَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.
