Hadith 359
۞
H 169 - Saad bin Abdullah has narrated from Muhammad bin Ahmad Alawi from Abu Hashim Dawood bin Qasim Ja’fari that he said
I heard Imam Hadi (a.s) say: The successor after me is Hasan. But how will it be for you with regard to the successor after the successor? I asked: May I be sacrificed on you, what for? He replied: Because you will not see his person, nor is it permissible for you to mention him by his name. I asked: So how are we to mention him? He replied: The Proof (Hujjah) from Aale Muhammad (a.s).
169- وروى سعد بن عبد الله عن محمد بن أحمد العلوي عن أبي هاشم داود بن القاسم الجعفري قال
سمعت أبا الحسن العسكري عليه السلام يقول: الخلف من بعدي الحسن. فكيف لكم بالخلف من بعد الخلف؟ فقلت: ولم جعلني الله فداك؟ فقال: لأنكم لا ترون شخصه ولا يحل لكم ذكره باسمه. فقلت: فكيف نذكره؟فقال: قولوا الحجة من آل محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.
