Hadith 15
۞
4-6 In another tradition it is narrated that Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Valid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan As-Saffar quoted on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Musa Al-Khashshab, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr Al-Bezanti, on the authority of Zakaria ibn Adam, on the authority of Dawood ibn Kathir that he said
to Abi Abdullah, “May I be your ransom! Who should I follow if anything should happen to you and you perish?” Imam As-Sadiq (s) said, “My son Musa.” Then this happened. By God, I did not have the least bit of doubt in my mind about (the appointment of) Musa (s). About thirty years passed. Then I went to see Abul Hassan Musa (al-Kadhim) (s) and said, “May I be your ransom! Who should I follow if anything should happen to you and you perish?” Imam Al-Kadhim (s) said, “My son Ali.” Dawood added, “Then this happened. By God, I did not have the least bit of doubt in my mind about (the appointment of) Ali (al-Ridha) (s).”
6 - نَصٌّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الحَسَن بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الوَلِيد رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنِ الحَسَن الصَفَّارُ، عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ مُوسَى الخَشَّاب، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبي نَصْرِ البِزَنْطِيِّ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ آدَمَ، عَنْ داوُدِ بْنِ كَثِير قالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِاللَّه: جُعِلْتُ فَداكَ وَقَدْمَِنيَ المَوْتَ قَبْلِكَ، إِنْ كانَ كُونٌ فَإِلىْ مَنْ؟ قالَ: إِلى اِبْنِي مُوسَى، فَكانَ ذلِكَ الكَوْنُ، فَوَاللَّهِ ما شَكَكْتُ فِي [شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ] مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ قَطُّ ثُمَّ مَكَثْتُ نَحْواً مِنْ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ أَبَا الحَسَن مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: جُعِلْتُ فَداكَ إِنْ كانَ كَوْنٌ فَإِلى مَنْ؟ قالَ: عَلِيٍّ اِبْنِي، قالَ: فَكانَ ذلِكَ الكَوْنُ، فَوَاللَّهِ ما شَكَكْتُ فِي عَلِيٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ قَطُّ.
