Translation

(3) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob al-Kulayni narrated from some of his companions from Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Khalid al-Barqi from al-Hasan bin al-Abbas bin al-Huraysh from Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali al-Baqir (as) from his fathers (as) that Amirul Mo’mineen (as) had said to ibn Abbas: “The Night of Predestination comes every year. In this night all that concerns the year and that will occur is revealed. This matter has guardians after the Prophet (S).” Ibn Abbas asked, “O Amirul Mo’mineen, who are they?” He said: “I and eleven ones of my progeny; divinely inspired imams.”
