Hadith 556
۞
H 315 - A group of scholars narrated to me from Abu Muhammad Harun Ibn Musa from Abu Ali Muhammad Ibn Himam Iskafi that he said: Narrated to us Abdullah Ibn Ja’far Himyari that: Narrated to us Ahmad Ibn Ishaq Ibn Saad Qummi that
On a certain day, I came to Abul Hasan Ali Ibn Muhammad (a.s) and said: “O my master, many a time I go away and then come to your vicinity, yet I am still not able to get access to you every time I come. So whose word should we accept and whose order should we obey?” The Imam (a.s) said: “This is Abu Amr. He is trustworthy and honest. He is the trustworthy man of the past and my man of trust in my lifetime and after my death. Whatever he says to you, he says it from us; whatever he delivers to you, he does so from us.” When Imam Hadi (a.s) passed away and the Imamate was transferred to his son, Imam Hasan Askari (a.s), I came to him one day and mentioned what his respected father had said. Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) also said: “This is Abu Amr. He is trustworthy and honest. He is the trustworthy man of the past and my man of trust in my lifetime and after my death. Whatever he says to you, he says it from us; whatever he delivers to you, he does so from us.” Abu Muhammad Harun said: Abu Ali said: Abul Abbas Himyari said: We would often discuss this narration and extol the eminence of Abu Amr.
315- فأخبرني جماعة، عن أبي محمد هارون بن موسى، عن أبي علي محمد بن همام الاسكافي، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إسحاق بن سعد القمي قال
دخلت على أبي الحسن علي بن محمد صلوات الله عليه في يوم من الايام فقلت: يا سيدي أنا أغيب وأشهد ولا يتهيأ لي الوصول إليك إذا شهدت في كل وقت، فقول من نقبل؟ وأمر من نمتثل؟ فقال لي صلوات الله عليه: هذا أبو عمرو الثقة الامين ما قاله لكم فعني يقوله، وما أداه إليكم فعني يؤديه. فلما مضى أبوالحسن عليه السلام وصلت إلى أبي محمد إبنه الحسن العسكري عليه السلام ذات يوم فقلت له عليه السلام مثل قولي لابيه، فقال لي: هذا أبوعمرو الثقة الامين ثقة الماضى وثقتي في المحي والممات، فما قاله لكم فعني يقوله، وما أدى إليكم فعني يؤديه. قال أبومحمد هارون: قال أبوعلي: قال أبوالعباس الحميري: فكنا كثيرا ما نتذاكر هذا القول ونتواصف جلالة محل أبي عمرو.
