H 24 - It is narrated from Ayyub bin Nuh from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal that he said
I heard from Ali bin Ja’far that he said: I was with my brother, Musa Ibn Ja’far (a.s), who by Allah, was the Divine Proof on the earth after my father; just then his son, Ali arrived. Imam (a.s) said: O Ali, this is your master and Imam and his position with relation to me is like my position with my father. Thus, may Almighty Allah keep you firm on His religion. After that I wept and said to myself: The Imam wanted to convey the information of his death to me as he had said: Ali dear, there is no option, except that divine destiny should be issued about me and that I emulate the Messenger of Allah, Amirul Momineen, Fatima, Hasan and Husain (a.s). This incident occurred three days before Harun arrested the Imam for the second time. There are so many traditions and reports about this that they cannot be computed; and they are mentioned in well known books of the Imamites and anyone who wishes, may refer to them, but those we mentioned so far, would be sufficient, if Allah wills.
24- وروى أيوب بن نوح عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال قال
سمعت علي بن جعفر يقول: كنت عند أخي موسى بن جعفر عليه السلام، كان والله حجة الله في الأرض بعد أبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، إذ طلع ابنه علي فقال لي: يا علي، هذا صاحبك، وهو مني بمنزلتي من أبي. فثبتك الله على دينه. فبكيت وقلت في نفسي: نعى والله إلى نفسه. فقـال: يا علي، لا بد من أن تمضي مقادير الله في، ولي برسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أسوة وبأمير المؤمنين وفاطمة والحسن والحسين عليه السلام. وكان هذا قبل أن يحمله هارون الرشيد في المرة الثانية بثلاثة أيام تمام الخبر. والأخبار في هذا المعنى أكثر من أن تحصى وهي موجودة في كتب الإمامية معروفة ومشهورة من أرادها وقف عليها من هناك وفي هذا القدر هاهنا كفاية إن شاء الله تعالى.
