I was with Abi Basir and there was a freed-slave of Abi Ja`far al-Baqir عليه السلام with us, so he [the freed-slave] said: I heard Aba Ja`far عليه السلام saying: from us are twelve Muhadath, the seventh of my descendants is the Qaim. So Abu Basir stood up facing him and said: I bear witness that I heard Abi Ja`far عليه السلام saying that forty years ago.
