Al-Amālī 1, narration 72

Translation

`Ali b. Ahmad b. Musa al-Daqqaq narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. al-Husayn al-Qadi al-`Alawi al-`Abbasi narrated to us. He said: Al-Hasan b. `Ali al-Nasir (qr) narrated to me. He said: Ahmad b. Rashid narrated to me from his uncle Abi Mu`ammar Sa`id b. Kathim from his brother Mu`ammar. He said: I was sitting with al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as) when Zayd b. `Ali b. al-Husayn (as) came and held onto the peg of the door. So, al-Sadiq (as) said to him: O uncle! I seek refuge in Allah for you being crucified in Kinasa. So, the mother of Zayd said to him: By Allah, nothing caused you to say this except for envy for my son. So, he (as) said: I wish it were envy, I wish it were envy – three times. Then, he said: My father narrated to me from my grandfather (as) that he would have a descendant named “Zayd”, who will be killed in Kufa, crucified in Kinasa, and resurrected from his grave. The gates of heaven will be opened for his spirit, and the people of heaven will be rejoiced by him. His spirit will be put in the stomach of a green bird, which will wander wherever it wishes in Paradise.
