Hadith 115
۞
5. We were told by Ahmad bin Hasan al-Qattan, that he said: We were told by Hasan bin Ali bin Hussain al-Sukkari, from Muhammed bin Zakariya al-Jawhari, from Ja’far bin Muhammed bin Umara, from his father, from al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, from his father, Muhammed bin Ali, from his father, Ali bin Hussain, from his father, Hussain bin Ali, from his father, Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon them, that he said
The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Indeed, I am appointing as successors among you Two Weighty Things: the Book of Allah; and my Family, my Household. Indeed, they will never be separated until they approach me at the basin like these two – and he joined between his two index fingers. Then Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari stood up to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, and who is your Family? He said: Ali, Hasan, Hussain and the Imams from the sons of Hussain, till they Day of Resurrection.
حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان، قال: حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن الحسين السكري عن محمد بن زكريا الجوهري، عن جعفر بن محمد بن عمارة، عن أبيه، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه محمد بن علي، عن أبيه علي بن الحسين، عن أبيه الحسين بن علي، عن أبيه علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إني مخلف فيكم الثقلين: كتاب الله، وعترتي أهل بيتي. وإنهما لن يفترقا حتى يردا علي الحوض كهاتين - وضم بين سبابتيه - فقام إليه جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري، فقال: يا رسول الله ومن عترتك؟ قال: علي، والحسن والحسين، والأئمة من ولد الحسين إلى يوم القيامة.
