Hadith 72
۞
H 13 - It is narrated from Ahmad bin Mehran from Muhammad bin Ali from Muhammad bin Sinan and Ali bin Hakam; together they narrate from Husain bin Mukhtar that he said
The ordinances (alwah) came to us from Abul Hasan Musa (a.s) while he was in prison: My testament (ahd) to the eldest of my sons is that he should do such-and-such. As far as so-and-so is concerned, do not give him anything until you meet me or God decrees death for me.
13- عنه، عن أحمد بن مهران، عن محمد بن علي، عن محمد بن سنان وعلي بن الحكم جميعا، عن الحسين بن المختار قال
خرجت إلينا ألواح من أبي الحسن عليه السلام- وهو في الحبس-:عهدي إلى أكبر ولدي أن يفعل كذا وأن يفعل كذا، وفلان لا تنله شيئا حتى ألقاك أو يقضي الله علي الموت.
