حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: لَمَّا بَعَثَ زُرَارَةُ عُبَيْداً ابْنَهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ لِيَسْأَلَ عَنِ الْخَبَرِ بَعْدَ مُضِيِّ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا اشْتَدَّ بِهِ الْأَمْرُ أَخَذَ الْمُصْحَفَ وَ قَالَ مَنْ أَثْبَتَ إِمَامَتَهُ هَذَا الْمُصْحَفُ فَهُوَ إِمَامِي. <br> و هذا الخبر لا يوجب أنه لم يعرف على أن راوي هذا الخبر أحمد بن هلال و هو مجروح عند مشايخنا رضي الله عنهم.
My father narrated to us from Muhammad bin Yahya Attar from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya bin Imran Ashari from Ahmad bin Hilal from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Zurarah from his father who said: When Zurarah sent his son, Ubaid, to Medina to inquire about the report and it was after the demise of Abu Abdillah (Imam Ja’far Sadiq a.s.), his condition became serious he took the Quran and said: “My Imam is only the one, whose Imamate this Quran will prove.”<br> [Al-Saduq says:] And this narration does not say that Zurarah was not having recognition of the Imam. Moreover, the narrator of this report is Ahmad bin Hilal and this person is not reliable in the view of our senior scholars.
