H 319 - Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Malik Fuzari Bazzaz has narrated from a group of Shia scholars including Ali bin Bilal, Ahmad bin Hilal, Muhammad bin Muawiyah bin Hakim and Hasan bin Ayyub bin Nuh in a famous lengthy traditional report in which all say
We gathered before Abu Muhammad Hasan Ibn Ali (a.s) to ask him about the Hujjah (Imam) after him. There were forty men in the gathering. Uthman bin Saeed bin Amr Amari rose and said: “O son of Allah’s Messenger, I want to ask you about a great subject, which you know better than me.” “Sit down, O Uthman.” Uthman rose to leave. The Imam said: “No one leaves.” None of us left. It was an hour that Imam called Uthman. Uthman rose on his feet. The Imam said: “Shall I inform you why you have come?” They said: “Yes, O son of Allah’s Messenger.” He said: “You came to ask me about the Divine Proof (Hujjah) after me.” They said: “Yes.” Suddenly, there came a boy, as he were a piece of the moon and more similar to Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) than all the people. The Imam said: ‘This is your Imam after me and my caliph over you. Obey him and do not disperse after me, lest you will perish in your religion. Behold, you will not see him after this day until ages pass. So, accept from Uthman what he says and obey his order and accept his word, because he is the caliph of your Imam and the affairs are in his hands.”
319- قال: وقال جعفر بن محمد بن مالك الفزاري البزاز، عن جماعة من الشيعة منهم علي بن بلال وأحمد بن هلال ومحمد بن معاوية بن حكيـم والحسـن بن أيوب بن نوح في خبـر طويل مشهور قالوا
جميعا: إجتمعنا إلى أبي محمد الحسن بن علي عليهما السلام نسأله عن الحجة من بعده، وفي مجلسه عليه السلام أربعون رجلا، فقام إليه عثمان بن سعيد بن عمرو العمري فقال له: يا بن رسول الله أريد أن أسألك عن أمر أنت أعلم به مني. فقال له: إجلس يا عثمان. فقام مغضبا ليخرج فقال: لا يخرجن أحد. فلم يخرج منا أحد إلى (أن) كان بعد ساعة، فصاح عليه السلام بعثمان، فقام على قدميه فقال:أخبركم بما جئتم؟ قالوا: نعم يا بن رسول الله. قال: جئتم تسألوني عن الحجة من بعدي. قالوا: نعم. فإذا غلام كأنه قطع قمر أشبه الناس بأبي محمد عليه السلام فقال: هذا إمامكم من بعدي وخليفتي عليكم أطيعوه ولا تتفرقوا من بعدي فتهلكوا في أديانكم، ألا وإنكم لا ترونه من بعد يومكم هذا حتى يتم له عمر، فاقبلوا من عثمان ما يقوله، وانتهوا إلى أمره، واقبلوا قوله، فهو خليفة إمامكم والأمر إليه… في حديث طويل.
