8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الرَّوَاجِنِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بِيَنْبُعَ وَقَدْ نَفِدَتْ نَفَقَتِي فِي بَعْضِ الأسْفَارِ فَقَالَ لِي بَعْضُ وُلْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ مَنْ تُؤَمِّلُ لِمَا قَدْ نَزَلَ بِكَ فَقُلْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ عَبْدِ الله فَقَالَ إِذاً لا تُقْضَى حَاجَتُكَ ثُمَّ لا تُنْجَحُ طَلِبَتُكَ قُلْتُ وَلِمَ ذَاكَ قَالَ لأنِّي قَدْ وَجَدْتُ فِي بَعْضِ كُتُبِ آبَائِي أَنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ الله أَمْلِ عَلَيَّ فَأَمْلاهُ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ لا وَالله مَا أَسْأَلُهُ حَاجَةً بَعْدَهَا.

Translation

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from certain individuals of our people from ‘Abbad ibn Ya’qub al-Rawijni from Sa’id ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman who has said the following: “I was at Yanbu’ with Musa ibn ‘Abd Allah. My supplies for my expenses were exhausted during certain journeys. A certain person of the children of al-Husayn asked me, ‘Whose assistence do you hope will help out overcome your difficult conditions?’ I said, ‘Musa ibn ‘Abd Allah will provide for my expenses.’ He then said, ‘He, therefore, will not provide you any help, and you will not succeed in your quest.’ I then asked, ‘Why it will be as such?’ He said, ‘It is because I have found in certain books of my ancestors that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, “. . . He mentioned a Hadith similar to the previous Hadith.’’” I then said, ‘O descendent of the Messenger of Allah, dictate it to me.’ He dictated it to me and I said, ‘I swear by Allah that I will not ask him (Musa ibn ‘Abd Allah) to help me.’”
