Hadith 347
۞
As for the Nawusiyya, who express uncertainty after Ja’far Ibn Muhammad (a.s), we explained the invalidity of their belief, as we know that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) passed away and that his son Musa Ibn Ja’far rightly succeeded him and that the Imamate of the Twelve Imams is a proven fact. The fact that he expressly confided a final will, underscores our point.
وأما الناووسية الذين وقفوا على أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليه السلام وقالوا هو المهدي قد بينا أيضا فساد قولهم بما علمناه من موته واشتهار الأمر فيه ولصحة إمامة ابنه موسى بن جعفر عليه السلام وبما ثبت من إمامة الاثني عشر عليه السلام ويؤكد ذلك ما ثبت من صحة وصيته إلى من أوصى إليه وظهور الحال في ذلك.
