Shaykh Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī · Evidence of the Imamate of Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s) and refutation of Waqifiya
62- ثم قال: وقال علي بقباقة: سألت صفوان بن يحيى وابن جندب وجماعة من مشيختهم،وكان الذي بينه وبينهم عظيم: بأي شيء قطعتم على هذا الرجل؟ألشيء بان لكم فأقبل قولكم؟قالوا كلهم: لا والله،إلا أنه قال فصدقناه. وأحالوا جميعا على البزنطي فقلت: سوءة لكم وأنتم مشيخة الشيعة! أترسلونني إلى ذلك الصبي الكذاب فأقبل منه وأدعكم أنتم؟
H 62 - Ali Baqbaqa said: I asked Safwan bin Yahya, Ibn Jundab and some of their associates – when an important discussion was going on between them: Through which argument have you believed in the rightfulness of this person [Imam Ali Ridha (a.s)]? Do you have a valid argument that I may also accept your word? All of them replied: No, by God, [we don’t have any argument]. He only said: we have also testified [in blind imitation] and gave me the reference of Bazanti; till I said: For you the congregation of Shia elders is evil that they falsely sent me to that child so that I should accept him and leave you.
