12-42 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated the following on the authority of Sa’ed ibn Abdullah who quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, on the authority of Umar ibn Azineh, on the authority of Aban ibn Abi Ayyash, on the authority of Salim ibn Qays al-Hilaly.The same has also been narrated by Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar who quoted Yaqoob ibn Yazid and Ibrahim ibn Hashim, on the authority of Hammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Umar al-Yamani, on the authority of Aban ibn Abi Ayyash, on the authority of Salim ibn Qays al-Hilaly that he had heard Abdullah ibn Ja’far al-Tayyar say, “
I was in the presence of Muawiyah along with Al-Hassan (MGB), Al-Hussein (MGB), Abdullah ibn Abbas, Umar ibn Abi Salma and Usamat ibn Zayd. There was an argument between me and Muawiyah. I told him, ‘I myself heard God’s Prophet (MGB) say, ‘I am closer to the Believers than their own selves. Then my brother Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB) is the closest one to the Believers than their own selves. Then after Ali (MGB) gets martyred, Al-Hassan ibn Ali (MGB) is the closest one to the Believers than their own selves. Then Ali’s son Al-Hussein (MGB) is the closest one to the Believers than their own selves. Then after he (MGB) is martyred, his son Ali ibn al-Hussein al-Akbar is the closest one to the Believers than their own selves. Then my (grand)son Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir (MGB) is the closest one to the Believers than their own selves. O Hussein! You shall understand him! Then there will be twelve Divine Leaders nine of whom shall be from the progeny of Al-Hussein - may God be pleased with him.’”Then Abdullah ibn Ja’far (al-Tayyar) added, ‘Then I asked Al-Hassan, al-Hussein, Abdullah ibn Abbas, Umar ibn Abi Salma and Usamah ibn Zayd to testify on my behalf and they all testified on my behalf before Muawiyah.”Salim ibn Qays al-Hilaly said, “I have also heard this very same narration from Salman, Abuzar and Al-Miqdad all of whom said that they had heard this from God’s Prophet (MGB).”
12-42 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد ابن عيسى، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن عمر بن اذينة، عن أبان بن أبي عياش. عن سليم بن قيس الهلالي، وحدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن الوليد رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، وإبراهيم بن هاشم جميعا، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن إبراهيم بن عمر اليماني، عن أبان بن أبي عياش، عن سليم بن قيس الهلالي قال
سمعت عبد الله بن جعفر الطيار يقول: كنا عند معاوية أنا والحسن والحسين وعبد الله بن عباس وعمر بن أبي سلمة، واسامة بن زيد فجرى بيني وبين معاوية كلام فقلت لمعاوية: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يقول: أنا أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم ثم أخي علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم، فإذا استشهد علي فالحسن ابن علي أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم، ثم ابنه الحسين بعد أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم فاذا استشهد فابنه علي بن الحسين الاكبر أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم، ثم ابني محمد بن علي الباقر أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم، وستدركه يا حسين، ثم تكمله اثنى عشر إماما تسعة من ولد الحسين رضي الله عنهقال: عبد الله بن جعفر: ثم استشهدت الحسن والحسين وعبد الله بن عباس وعمر بن أبي سلمة واسامة بن زيد فشهدوا لي عند معاوية، قال: سليم بن قيس الهلالي: وقد سمعت ذلك من سلمان وأبي ذر والمقداد وذكروا أنهم سمعوا ذلك من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله
