H 261 - Ibn Nuh said: Narrated to me Abu Abdullah Husain Muhammad bin Surah Qummi when he met us in Hajj that: Narrated to me Ali bin Hasan bin Yusuf Saigh Qummi and Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Muhammad Sairafi alias Ibn Dallal etc. from the teachers of people of Qom that Ali Ibn Husain Ibn Musa Ibn Babawayh was married to the daughter of his uncle, Muhammad Ibn Musa Ibn Babawayh, and did not have offspring from her. He wrote to Abul Qasim Husain Ibn Rauh and asked him to request the Imam to pray for him that Allah gives him jurist (Faqih) sons. Reply came, “You will not have children from her. You will have a Dailami slave girl and you will sire two jurist (Faqih) sons from her.” The narrator says that
a man had at that time recounted that Abul Hasan Ibn Babawayh has three sons. Muhammad and Husain are very adept jurists and they learn what other people of Qom cannot. They have a brother whose name is Hasan. He is the middle brother and has devoted himself to worship and piety and does not mix with people. He is not a jurist. Whenever the two sons of Abul Hasan narrate something, people are amazed by their learning and they say, “This is by the blessing of the Imam.” This is a very well-known matter in Qom.
261- قال ابن نوح: وحدثني أبو عبد الله الحسين محمد بن سورة القمي رحمه الله حين قدم علينا حاجا، قال حدثني علي بن الحسن بن يوسف الصائغ القمي ومحمد بن أحمد بن محمد الصيرفي المعروف بابن الدلال وغيرهما من مشايخ أهل قم أن علي بن الحسين بن موسى بن بابويه
كانت تحته بنت عمه محمد بن موسى بن بابويه فلم يرزق منها ولدا.فكتب إلى الشيخ أبي القاسم الحسين بن روح رضي الله عنه أن يسأل الحضرة أن يدعو الله أن يرزقه أولادا فقهاء، فجاء الجواب: "إنك لا ترزق من هذه وستملك جارية ديلمية وترزق منها ولدين فقيهين ".قال: وقال لي أبو عبد الله بن سورة حفظه الله:ولأبي الحسن بن بابويه رحمه الله ثلاثة أولاد، محمد والحسين فقيهان ماهران في الحفظ، ويحفظان ما لا يحفظ غيرهما من أهل قم، ولهما أخ اسمه الحسن وهو الأوسط مشتغل بالعبادة والزهد، لا يختلط بالناس ولا فقه له. قال ابن سورة:كلما روى أبو جعفر، وأبو عبد الله ابنا علي بن الحسين شيئا يتعجب الناس من حفظهما ويقولون لهما: هذا الشأن خصوصية لكما بدعوة الامام لكما، وهذا أمر مستفيض في أهل قم.
