14. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ari has narrated from ‘Ubaydallah from al-Hassan ibn Musa al-Khashshab from Ali ibn Sam‘Abdallah from Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Ribat from ’Udhayna from Zurara who has said the following. “I heard abu Ja‘far say, ‘There will be twelve Imams from the family of Muhammad and they all will be (Muhaddathun), persons to whom angles speak. They will of the descendants of the Messenger of Allah and Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.). The Messenger of Allah and Ali are their anscesters.”

15ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ يَكُونُ تِسْعَةُ أَئِمَّةٍ بَعْدَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ تَاسِعُهُمْ قَائِمُهُمْ.

15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Sa‘id ibn Ghazwan from abu Basir who has said the following. “I heard abu Ja‘far say, ‘after al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s.) there will be nine Imams. The ninth of them will be Al-Qa’im (the one who will with Divine Authority).”

16ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ نَحْنُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ إِمَاماً مِنْهُمْ حَسَنٌ وَحُسَيْنٌ ثُمَّ الائِمَّةُ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام )

16. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn mmd from al-Washsha’ from Aban from Zurara that he heard Abu Ja'far (al-Baqir) (as) say: "We are twelve Imams, al-Hassan and al-Husayn are of them and [the rest of] the Imams are from the descendants of al-Husayn (as)."

17. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ، عَنْ‌ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْعُصْفُرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ : عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عليه‌السلام ، قَالَ : « قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : إِنِّي واثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِنْ وُلْدِي وأَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ زِرُّ الْأَرْضِ ـ يَعْنِي أَوْتَادَهَا وجِبَالَهَا ـ بِنَا أَوْتَدَ اللهُ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَسِيخَ بِأَهْلِهَا ، فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ الِاثْنَا عَشَرَ مِنْ ولْدِي ، سَاخَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِأَهْلِهَا ، ولَمْ يُنْظَرُوا ».”

17. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Sa‘id al-‘Usfuriy from ‘Amran ibn Thabit from abu al-Jarud from abu Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said, ‘I and twelve persons from my descendants and you O Ali, are the securing anchor of the earth, that is, the pillars thereof and its ropes. Through us Allah has secured the earth from devouring the inhabitants. If all the twelve persons from my family will no longer be there, the earth will devour her inhabitants without delay.”

18ـ وَبِهَذَا الاسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مِنْ وُلْدِيَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ نَقِيباً نُجَبَاءُ مُحَدَّثُونَ مُفَهَّمُونَ آخِرُهُمُ الْقَائِمُ بِالْحَقِّ يَمْلاهَا عَدْلاً كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْراً.

18. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from abu Sa‘id in a marfu‘ manner from abu Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following. “The Messenger of Allah has said, “From my descendants there will be twelve noble supervisors, who are (Muhaddathun) persons to whom angles speak and very intelligent. The last of them will be Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) and with truth who will fill the earth with justice after being filled with injustice.”

19ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الاصَمِّ عَنْ كَرَّامٍ قَالَ حَلَفْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِي أَلا آكُلَ طَعَاماً بِنَهَارٍ أَبَداً حَتَّى يَقُومَ قَائِمُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ شِيعَتِكُمْ جَعَلَ لله عَلَيْهِ أَلا يَأْكُلَ طَعَاماً بِنَهَارٍ أَبَداً حَتَّى يَقُومَ قَائِمُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَصُمْ إِذاً يَا كَرَّامُ وَلا تَصُمِ الْعِيدَيْنِ وَلا ثَلاثَةَ التَّشْرِيقِ وَلا إِذَا كُنْتَ مُسَافِراً وَلا مَرِيضاً فَإِنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لَمَّا قُتِلَ عَجَّتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالارْضُ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهِمَا وَالْمَلائِكَةُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَبَّنَا ائْذَنْ لَنَا فِي هَلاكِ الْخَلْقِ حَتَّى نَجُدَّهُمْ عَنْ جَدِيدِ الارْضِ بِمَا اسْتَحَلُّوا حُرْمَتَكَ وَقَتَلُوا صَفْوَتَكَ فَأَوْحَى الله إِلَيْهِمْ يَا مَلائِكَتِي وَيَا سَمَاوَاتِي وَيَا أَرْضِيَ اسْكُنُوا ثُمَّ كَشَفَ حِجَاباً مِنَ الْحُجُبِ فَإِذَا خَلْفَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَاثْنَا عَشَرَ وَصِيّاً لَهُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ فُلانٍ الْقَائِمِ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا مَلائِكَتِي وَيَا سَمَاوَاتِي وَيَا أَرْضِي بِهَذَا أَنْتَصِرُ لِهَذَا قَالَهَا ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.

19. Ali ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn al-Hassan have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from mmd ibn al-Hassan ibn Shammun from ‘Abdallah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Asamm from Karram who has said the following. “I took an oath with my self that I will not any food during the day until the rise of Al-Qa’im (the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority). I then went to see abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.).” The narrator has said, “A man from you Shi‘a (followers) has imposed on himself on oath not to eat any food during the day until the rise of Al-Qa’im from the family of Muhammad (s.a) (the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority).” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Fast, then O Karram. Do not fast on the two ‘Id days and the three days of Tashriq (11,12,13) of the month of Dhil Hajj. Also do not fast when you are on a journey or when you will have an illness. It is because when al-Husayn was murdered the heavens and the earth and all the angles in them mourned and lamented before the Lord. They said, “Lord, grant us permission to destroy the creature and purge the earth from them because of their disregard of you reverence and their murdering your chosen people. Allah then inspired them, “My angels, My heavens and My earth be patient and relieved.. He then removed a barrier of the barriers and there appeared Muhammad and the twelve executors of his will. He then held the hand of so and so, Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) from among them and said, ‘O My angels, My heavens and My earth through this I will grant support for this.” He said it three times.”

20ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَصِيرٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ مَوْلَى ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي مَنْزِلِهِ بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ نَحْنُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ مُحَدَّثاً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَحَلَّفَهُ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ لَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام )

20. Muhammad ibn Yahya and Ahmad ibn Muhammad have narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from abu Talib from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama‘Abdallah ibn Mihran who has said the following. “Once I, abu Basir and Muhammad ibn ‘Imran the slave of abu Ja‘far (a.s.) were in his house in Makka. Muhammad ibn ‘Imran said, “I have heard abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say, ‘We all twelve of us are Muhaddath (the ones to whom angels speak).” Abu Basir then said, “Did you hear abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say so? He made him to swear one or twice that he has heard so. Abu Basir then said, “However, I have heard it from abu Ja‘far (a.s.).”

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ الله تَعَالَى أَوْحَى إِلَى عِمْرَانَ أَنِّي وَاهِبٌ لَكَ ذَكَراً سَوِيّاً مُبَارَكاً يُبْرِئُ الاكْمَهَ وَالابْرَصَ وَيُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى بِإِذْنِ الله وَجَاعِلُهُ رَسُولاً إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَحَدَّثَ عِمْرَانُ امْرَأَتَهُ حَنَّةَ بِذَلِكَ وَهِيَ أُمُّ مَرْيَمَ فَلَمَّا حَمَلَتْ كَانَ حَمْلُهَا بِهَا عِنْدَ نَفْسِهَا غُلامٌ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْها قالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَضَعْتُها أُنْثى‏... وَلَيْسَ الذَّكَرُ كَالانْثى‏ أَيْ لا يَكُونُ الْبِنْتُ رَسُولاً يَقُولُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالله أَعْلَمُ بِما وَضَعَتْ فَلَمَّا وَهَبَ الله تَعَالَى لِمَرْيَمَ عِيسَى كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ بِهِ عِمْرَانَ وَوَعَدَهُ إِيَّاهُ فَإِذَا قُلْنَا فِي الرَّجُلِ مِنَّا شَيْئاً وَكَانَ فِي وَلَدِهِ أَوْ وَلَدِ وَلَدِهِ فَلا تُنْكِرُوا ذَلِكَ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim his father all from ibn Mahbub from al-Ri’ab from Abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who said: “Allah, the Most High, revealed to ʿImrān: “I will grant you a righteous and blessed son who will cure the blind and the leper and bring the dead back to life by Allah’s permission. I will make him a messenger to the Children of Israel.” ʿImrān conveyed this to his wife, Ḥannah, the mother of Maryam. When she became pregnant, she assumed the child in her womb was a boy. However, when she gave birth, she said: “O my Lord, I have delivered a female.” Allah says: “And the male is not like the female,” meaning that a daughter cannot be a messenger. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, affirms: “And Allah knows best what she delivered.” <br>When Allah granted Maryam her son, ʿĪsā, he was the fulfillment of the glad tidings and promise given to ʿImrān. Thus, if we mention something about a man among us and it comes to pass in his offspring or their descendants, do not find it strange.”

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْيَمَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا قُلْنَا فِي رَجُلٍ قَوْلاً فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ وَكَانَ فِي وَلَدِهِ أَوْ وَلَدِ وَلَدِهِ فَلا تُنْكِرُوا ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الله تَعَالَى يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ.

2. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Ibrahim ibn ‘Umar al-Yamani from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. “If we would say something about a man and it would not be found in him but it would be found in his sons or his grandsons you must not reject it. It is because Allah does what he wants.”

3ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ قَدْ يَقُومُ الرَّجُلُ بِعَدْلٍ أَوْ بِجَوْرٍ وَيُنْسَبُ إِلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَامَ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ ابْنَهُ أَوِ ابْنَ ابْنِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَهُوَ هُوَ.

3. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Ahmad ibn ‘A’idh from abu Khadija who has said the following. “I heard abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say, ‘Sometimes a man is considered as practicing justice or acting unjustly and such acts are ascribed to him even if he may not have committed them but such acts are found in his sons or his grandsons after him then he will be it (the one who has in reality his practiced such acts).”
