hadith 1608
Hadith.4806 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr Al-Bazanti asked Abu Al-Hasan Al-Ridha (as) about a man who has a wife but remains silent and does not speak. Imam (as) asked: "Is he mute?" He replied: "Yes, and we know from his behavior that he dislikes and detests his wife. Is it permissible for his guardian to divorce her on his behalf?" Imam (as) said: "No, but he should write it down and have witnesses for it." He said: "May Allah (swt) correct you, but he neither writes nor hears. How can he divorce her?" Imam (as) replied: "Through actions that clearly indicate his intention, such as what you mentioned of his dislike and hatred for her."

Then Muhammad ibn Soleiman said, “
Go to him and deliver my greetings to him. Tell him that his family members have gathered together and wish you to be with them. Ask him to come here, if he pleases.” The narrator said, “I went to see the Imam (a.s.) in Al-Hamra and delivered the message to him. The Imam (a.s.) said, ‘Deliver my greetings. I will go there after twenty days.’ I returned and delivered the Imam’s response. Several days passed. On the eighteenth day Al-Joloodi’s agent called Warqa’ attacked and defeated us. I fled to As-Sowrayn and suddenly heard someone say, “O Athram!” I turned to him and saw Abul Hassan Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.). Abul Hassan Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) asked me, “Has twenty days passed or not?”Muhammad ibn Soleiman al-Alawi referred to above is Muhammad ibn Soleiman ibn Dawood ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.).

9. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr who has said that
he wrote a letter to Imam al-Rida (a.s.). Of the issues for which he requested explanation in the letter one was about the following words of Allah, Most Holy, the Most High. “Ask the people of Dhikr (people who remind of Allah) if you do not know.” The other question was about the words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, “Not all believers have to become specialists in religious learning. Why do not some people from each group of believers seek to become specialists in religious learning and, after completing their studies, guide their group so that they will have fear of God.” (9:122) thus, it is obligatory for them to ask but it is not obligatory for you to answer.” The Imams (a.s.) has said the following for the answer. “If they would not do what you would ask them, know that they are only following their (evil) desires. Who strays more than one who follows his desires without guidance from God? . .” (28:50)

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said that
he asked abu al-Hassan al-Rida (a.s.) the following. “When the Imam dies through what means one would know the succeeding Imam (a.s.)?” He said, “For the Imam there are certain signs. Of such sign one is that he must be the eldest son of his father. The will and excellence must be found in him and when people come to ask who is appointed the executor of the will in answer it can be said that so and so is appointed the executor of the will. The Armament with us is like the Ark in the Israelites. Imamat (leadership with Divine authority) is always with the Armament wherever it may go.”
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لابِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِذَا مَاتَ الامَامُ بِمَ يُعْرَفُ الَّذِي بَعْدَهُ فَقَالَ لِلامَامِ عَلامَاتٌ مِنْهَا أَنْ يَكُونَ أَكْبَرَ وُلْدِ أَبِيهِ وَيَكُونَ فِيهِ الْفَضْلُ وَالْوَصِيَّةُ وَيَقْدَمَ الرَّكْبُ فَيَقُولَ إِلَى مَنْ أَوْصَى فُلانٌ فَيُقَالَ إِلَى فُلانٍ وَالسِّلاحُ فِينَا بِمَنْزِلَةِ التَّابُوتِ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تَكُونُ الامَامَةُ مَعَ السِّلاحِ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ.

hadith 767
7. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Fudayl (ibn) Sukkarah who has said that
he said to abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) the following. “‘May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, is there a certain quantitiyof water required to give Ghusl (bath) a dead person?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “The Messenger of Allah said to Ali (a.s.), ‘When I will die draw six sacks of water from the well Ghars (name of the well). Then wash my body, shroud it and rub camphor on my forehead, palms, knees and toes. When you finish washing my body and shrouding hold by the ends of the shroud and set my body in a sitting posture then ask me whatever you would like. I swear by Allah, you would not ask me anything but that I will give you an answer in it.”
7ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ سُكَّرَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لابِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَلْ لِلْمَاءِ الَّذِي يُغَسَّلُ بِهِ الْمَيِّتُ حَدٌّ مَحْدُودٌ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ لِعلي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِذَا مِتُّ فَاسْتَقِ سِتَّ قِرَبٍ مِنْ مَاءِ بِئْرِ غَرْسٍ فَغَسِّلْنِي وَكَفِّنِّي وَحَنِّطْنِي فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ غُسْلِي وَكَفْنِي فَخُذْ بِجَوَامِعِ كَفَنِي وَأَجْلِسْنِي ثُمَّ سَلْنِي عَمَّا شِئْتَ فَوَ الله لا تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلا أَجَبْتُكَ فِيهِ.

hadith 1902
12. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following
“I once asked abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), about our case of leaving Mina’ and staying several days, then shaving my head for pleasure that raised a question in my mind. He (the Imam) said that when abu al-Hassan ‘Alayhi al-Salam, left Makkah, his clothes were brought to him and he shaved his head and said that in the words of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, ‘. . . then they must spruce up and fulfill their vows. . .’ (22:29) ‘Tafath’ means cutting the finger nails, removing dirt and (clothes of) Ihram.’”
12ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِنَّا حِينَ نَفَرْنَا مِنْ مِنًى أَقَمْنَا أَيَّاماً ثُمَّ حَلَقْتُ رَأْسِي طَلَبَ التَّلَذُّذِ فَدَخَلَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَأُتِيَ بِثِيَابِهِ حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ قَالَ وَقَالَ فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُوا تَفَثَهُمْ وَلْيُوفُوا نُذُورَهُمْ قَالَ التَّفَثُ تَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ وَطَرْحُ الْوَسَخِ وَطَرْحُ الإِحْرَامِ.
