71- وروى ابن عقدة عن علي بن الحسن بن فضال عن محمد بن عمر بن يزيد وعلي بن أسباط جميعا قالا: قال لنا عثمان بن عيسى الرواسي: حدثني زياد القندي وابن مسكان قالا: كنـا عنـد أبي إبـراهيم عليـه السلام إذ قال: يدخل عليكم الساعة خير أهل الأرض. فدخل أبو الحسن الرضا عليه السلام وهو صبي. فقلنا: خير أهل الأرض. ثم دنا فضمه إليه فقبله وقال: يا بني، تدري ما قال ذان؟ قال: نعم، يا سيدي، هذان يشكان فيّ. قال علي بن أسباط: فحدثت بهذا الحديث الحسن بن محبوب فقال: بتر الحديث… لا،ولكن حدثني علي بن رئاب أن أبا إبراهيم عليه السلام قال لهما: إن جحدتماه حقه أو خنتماه فعليكما لعنة الله والملائكة والناس أجمعين. يا زياد، لا تنجب أنت وأصحابك أبدا. قال علي بن رئاب: فلقيت زياد القندي فقلت له: بلغني أن أبا إبراهيم عليه السلام قال لك كذا وكذا. فقال: أحسبك قد خولطت! فمر وتركني فلم أكلمه ولا مررت به. قال الحسن بن محبوب: فلم نزل نتوقع لزياد دعوة أبي إبراهيم عليه السلام حتى ظهر منه أيام الرضا عليه السلام ما ظهر،ومات زنديقا.

Translation

H 71 - Ibn Uqda narrated from Ali bin Hasan bin Faddal from Muhammad bin Umar bin Yazid and Ali bin Asbat, all together have said: Uthman bin Isa said to me in a report: Ziyad Qandi and Ibn Muskan said to me: We were in the company of Abu Ibrahim (a.s) when the Imam said: At this moment, the best of the folk of the earth is with you. Then Abu Hasan Ridha (a.s), who was yet a child, came there. We said: The best of the folks of the earth? After that Abul Hasan Ridha (a.s) came near. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s) hugged and kissed him and said: Dear son, do you know what these two said? He replied: Yes, my master. They have doubt about me. Ali bin Asbat said[a]: I mentioned this tradition to Hasan bin Mahbub and he also said: The tradition is incomplete. It is not as such; on the contrary, it is that: Ali bin Raab said to me: Abu Ibrahim (a.s) said to those two persons: If you deny his right or are dishonest with him, the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people would be on you. O Ziyad, you and your companions would never earn respect. After that Ali Raab said: I met Ziyad Qandi and said: I have received information that Abu Ibrahim (a.s) said this and that to you? Ziyad replied: I think you have lost your mind. Then he went away and avoided me after that. I also never spoke with him or pursued him. Hasan bin Mahbub said: We were always waiting for the curse of Imam (a.s) to be proved true about Ziyad; till during the time of Imam Ridha (a.s) Ziyad died an apostate.
