۞
5-4 Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamadani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Bakr ibn Salih that he asked
Ibrahim ibn Al-Hassan Musa ibn Ja’far (s) , “What do you say about our father?” Ibrahim ibn Al-Hassan Musa ibn Ja’far (s) said, “He is alive.” Bakr ibn Salih asked him, “What do you say about your brother Abil Hassan (Imam al-Rezxa) (s)?” He said, “He is trustworthy and honest.” Then Bakr ibn Salih said, “He believes that your father has died.” He said, “He knows best what he says.” Bakr ibn Salih repeated what he had said. He said the same thing again. Then Bakr ibn Salih asked, “Has your father appointed anyone as his Trustee?” He said, “Yes.” Bakr ibn Salih asked, “Who?” He said, “The five of us, and he established Ali superior to us.”
4 - حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زِيادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْهَمَذانيُّ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَلِىُّ بْنُ إِبراهِيمُ بْنِ هاشِمٍ، عَنْ أَبيهِ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صالِحٍ، قالَ
قُلْتُ لِإِبْراهِيمَ بْنِ أَبي الحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرعَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ: ما قَوْلُكَ فِي أَبِيكَ؟ قالَ هُوَحَىٌّ، قُلْتُ: فَما قَوْلُكَ فِي أَخِيكَ أَبي الحَسَن عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ؟ قال: ثِقَةٌ صَدُوقٌ، قُلْتُ: فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ أباكَ قَدْ مَضى، قالَ: هُوَأَعْلَمُ بِما يَقُولُ، فَأَعَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَعادَ عَلَيَّ، قُلْتُ: فَأَوْصى أَبُوكَ؟ قالَ: نَعَمْ، قُلْتُ: إِلى مَنْ أَوْصى؟ قالَ: إِلى خَمْسَةٍ مِنَّا، وَجَعَلَ عَلِيّاً المُقَدَّمَ عَلَيْنا.
