H 106 - It is narrated from Abil Husain that he said
Narrated to me a group of scholars from Abu Muhammad Talakbari from Abil Husain Muhammad bin Ja’far Asadi from Sahal bin Ziyad Adami from Hasan bin Abbas bin Harish Razi from Imam Jawad (a.s) that Amirul Momineen (a.s) said to Ibn Abbas: “Surely, the night of power (Lailatul Qadr) occurs every year. In this night, the affairs of that year descend. For this affair, there are masters after the Messenger of Allah (s).” Ibn Abbas inquired, ‘Who are they?’ He (a.s) replied, “I and eleven Imams from my progeny, with whom the angels converse (Muhhaddithun).”
106- عنه عن أبي الحسين،وأخبرني جماعة عن أبي محمد التلعكبري عن أبي الحسين محمد بن جعفر الأسدي عن سهل بن زياد الآدمي عن الحسن بن العباس بن الحريش الرازي عن أبي جعفر الثاني عليه السلام أن أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام قال
لابن عباس: إن ليلة القدر في كل سنة، وإنه ينزل في تلك الليلة أمر السنة،ولذلك الأمر ولاة بعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم. فقال ابن عباس: من هم؟ فقال: إنا وأحد عشر من صلبي؛ أئمة محدثون.
