Hadith 21
۞
4-12 In another tradition it is narrated that (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Hajjal, on the authority of Sa’d ibn Zakarya ibn Adam, on the authority of Ali ibn Obaydullah al-Hashemi, “We were nearly sixty Shiites who were next to the tomb of the Prophet (s). Abu Ibrahim Musa ibn Ja’far (s) came towards us. He was holding the hand of his son - Ali - in his hand. He said, ‘
Do you know who I am?’ We said, ‘You are our Master and our elder.’ Then he said, ‘Tell me my name and my family.’ Then we said, ‘You are Musa ibn Ja’far ibn Muhammad (s).’ Then he asked, ‘Who is this with me?’ Then we said, ‘He is Ali ibn Musa ibn Ja’far (s).’ He said, ‘Then bear witness that he is my counsel in my life, and is my Testamentary Trustee after my death.’
12 - نَصُّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّه، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحَجَّالِ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ آدَمِ، عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ عُبِيْدِاللَّهِ الهاشِمي قالَ
كُنَّا عِنْدَ القَبْرِ نَحْوَسِتِّينَ رَجُلاً مِنَّا وَمِنْ مُوالِينا، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو إِبْراهيمَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍعَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ و يَدُ عَلِيَّ ابْنِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فِي يَدِهِ، فَقالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَنْ أَنَا؟ قُلْنا: أَنْتَ سَيِّدَنا وَكَبِيرنا. فَقالَ: سَمُّوني وَاَنْسِبُونِي، فَقُلْنا أَنْتَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّد، فَقالَ: مَنْ هذا الَّذِي مَعِي؟ قُلْنا هُوَعَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِجَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ، قالَ: فَاشْهَدُوا أَنَّهُ وَكِيلي فِي حَياتِي وَوَصِيِّي بَعْد مَوْتِي.
