Abū ʿAbd Allah Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm al-Nuʿmānī

(6) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed bin Oqda al-Kufi narrated from Yahya bin Zakariyya bin Shayban from Ali bin Sayf bin Omayra from Abban bin Uthman from Zurara from Imam Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) from his fathers (as) that the
Prophet (S) had said: “From among my progeny there will be twelve inspired men.” A man called Abdullah bin Zayd, who was the foster-brother of Ali bin al-Husayn as-Sajjad (as), said to him (to Imam al-Baqir): “Glory be to Allah! Inspired!” as if he denied that. Imam Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) said to him: “By Allah, the son of your mother -he meant Ali bin al-Husayn (as)- was indeed inspired.”
6 - وأخبرنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد بن عقدة الكوفي، قال: حدثنا يحيى بن زكريا بن شيبان من كتابه سنة ثلاث وسبعين ومائتين، قال: حدثنا علي بن سيف بن عميرة، قال: حدثنا أبان بن عثمان، عن زرارة، عن أبي جعفر الباقر عن آبائه  قال
قال رسول الله: إنّ مِن أهل بيتي اثنا عشر محدّثاً. فقال له رجل يقال له عبد الله بن زيد وكان أخا عليِّ بن الحسين من الرضاعة: سبحان الله محدثاً؟ - كالمنكر لذلك - قال: فأقبل عليه أبو جعفر فقال له: أما والله إنّ ابن أمّك كان كذلك - يعني عليَّ بن الحسين -.
