Arabic text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارُ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَرْبَعَةٌ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ أَحْيَاءً وَ أَمْوَاتاً بُرَيْدٌ الْعِجْلِيُّ وَ زُرَارَةُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ وَ الْأَحْوَلُ‌ أَحَبُّ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ أَحْيَاءً وَ أَمْوَاتاً <br>  فالصادق عليه السلام لا يجوز أن يقول لزرارة إنه من أحب الناس إليه و هو لا يعرف إمامه موسى بن جعفر ع.

Translation

Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan that: Narrated to us Ahmad bin Idrees and Muhammad bin Yahya Attar; both said narrating from Muhammad bin Ahmad from Yaqood bin Yazid from ibn Abi Umair from Abul Abbas Fadl bin Abdul Malik from Abu Abdillah Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) that he said: “Four persons are very dear to me, whether they are alive or dead: Buraid al-Ajali, Zurarah bin Uyun, Muhammad bin Muslim and Ahwal (Muhammad bin Noman Bajali, alias Momin Taq). These four are my favorite men.” <br> [Al-Saduq says:] So it is not possible that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) should have made such a statement about Zurarah when the latter was ignorant of the Imamate of Musa bin Ja’far.
