Hadith 88
۞
H 28 - Narrated to me Hannan Bin Sudair: My father was seated and Abdullah bin Sulaiman Sairafi, Abu Marahif and Saalim Ashal were also seated with him. Abdullah bin Sulaiman asked my father: O Abal Fadhl, do you know that a son is born to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) and he has named so and so as Musa. Is that right? asked Saalim. Yes, replied Abdullah. Saalim said
By Allah, if this report is correct, it is more pleasing to me than getting 500 dinars for my family, whereas the fact is that at present I am needful even for five dirhams for myself and my family. Abdullah bin Sulaiman asked: How is this so important to you? He replied: It has reached to us in traditions that Almighty Allah described Qaim Aale Muhammad (a.s) to Musa Ibn Imran. Musa pleaded: O Allah, please deem him to be from Bani Israel. Almighty Allah said: This is not possible. After that he pleaded: O Allah, make me among his helpers. It was revealed to him: This is also not possible. After that he pleaded: O Allah, make him my namesake. It was revealed: I have bestowed it to you (that is he would be named as Musa).
28- قال وحدثني حنان بن سدير قال
كان أبي جالسا وعنده عبد الله بن سليمان الصيرفي وأبو المراهف وسالم الأشل فقال عبد الله بن سليمان لأبي يا أبا الفضل: أعلمت أنه ولد لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام غلام فسماه فلانا،يسميه باسمه.فقال سالم: إن هذا لحق. فقال عبد الله: نعم. فقال سالم: والله لأن يكون حقا أحب إلي من أن انقلب إلى أهلي بخمسمائة دينار وإني محتاج إلى خمسة دراهم أعود بها على نفسي وعيالي.فقال له عبد الله بن سليمان: ولم ذاك؟قال: بلغني في الحديث أن الله عرض سيرة قائم آل محمد على موسى بن عمران فقال: اللهم اجعله من بني إسرائيل. فقال له: ليس إلى ذلك سبيل. فقال: اللهم اجعلني من أنصاره. فقيل له: ليس إلى ذلك سبيل. فقال: اللهم اجعله سميي. فقيل له: أعطيت ذلك.
