Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Third Objection: Rejection of the Imamate of isma'il
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ وَ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي كَهْمَسٍ قَالَ: حَضَرْتُ مَوْتَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام جَالِسٌ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ شَدَّ لَحْيَيْهِ وَ غَطَّاهُ بِالْمِلْحَفَةِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِتَهْيِئَتِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ دَعَا بِكَفَنِهِ وَ كَتَبَ فِي حَاشِيَةِ الْكَفَنِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ.
Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid, who said: narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan Saffar narrating from Ayyub bin Nuh and Yaqoob bin Yazid from ibn Abi Umair from Muhammad bin Shuaib from Abi Kahmas that he said: I was present at the time of Ismail’s death, while Abu Abdillah Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) was sitting near him. When he died, Imam (as) tied up his jaws and covered his face with a piece of cloth. Then he ordered that he should be given the funeral bath and shrouded. After this was accomplished he called for his shroud cloth and wrote on its periphery: Ismail testifies that there is no god except Allah.
