4. We were told by Ahmad bin Ziyad bin Ja’far al-Hamdani, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, from his father, from Muhammed bin Abi Umayr, from Ghiyath bin Ibrahim, from al-Sadiq, Ja’far ibn Muhammed, from his father, Muhammed bin Ali, from his father, Ali bin Hussain, from his father, Hussain, peace be upon them, that he said
The Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, was asked about the saying of Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family: «Indeed, I am appointing as Successors among you, the Two Weighty Things, the Book of Allah and my Family» Who are the Family? So he said: I, Hasan, Hussain and the nine Imams from the sons of Hussain, of whom their ninth is their Guided and Rising . They will not separate from the Book of Allah, nor will it separate from them, until they approach to Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, at his basin.
حدثنا أحمد بن زياد بن جعفر الهمداني - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن غياث بن إبراهيم، عن الصادق جعفر ابن محمد، عن أبيه محمد بن علي، عن أبيه علي بن الحسين، عن أبيه الحسين عليهم السلام قال
سئل أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام عن معنى قول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله " إني مخلف فيكم الثقلين: كتاب الله، وعترتي " من العترة؟ فقال: أنا، والحسن، والحسين، والأئمة التسعة من ولد الحسين تاسعهم مهديهم وقائمهم، لا يفارقون كتاب الله ولا يفارقهم حتى يردوا على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله حوضه.
