Arabic text

77- وكذلك الحسن بن علي الوشاء وكان يقول بالوقف فرجع،وكان سببه أنه قال: خرجت إلى خراسان في تجارة لي، فلما وردته بعث إلي أبو الحسن الرضا عليه السلام يطلب مني حبرة،وكانت بين ثيابي قد خفي علي أمرها. فقلت: ما معي منها شي‏ء. فرد الرسول وذكر علامتها وأنها في سفط كذا. فطلبتها فكان كما قال،فبعثت بها إليه. ثم كتبت مسائل أسأله عنها،فلما وردت بابه خرج إلي جواب تلك المسائل التي أردت أن أسأله عنها من غير أن أظهرتها. فرجع عن القول بالوقف إلى القطع على إمامته.

Translation

H 77 - In the same way, Hasan bin Ali Washa was also a Waqifite of his time; then he returned to belief in the twelve Imams and repented for his past mistakes; the cause of his repentance, as he himself states, was that: I traveled to Khorasan for business. When I reached there, Abul Hasan Ridha (a.s) sent someone and asked me for the striped cloth from Yemen. It was among the merchandise that I was having, but I had forgotten it, so I said: I don’t have any striped cloth. The Imam’s messenger went away, but returned again to inform me that I was having it in so and so bundle; I found it at the same place and sent it to the Imam. After that I wrote some questions, which I wanted to ask him. Just as I reached his place, the Imam emerged from inside and mentioned to me the replies of the questions, which I wanted to ask him and about which no one knew anything. On witnessing this miracle, Hasan bin Ali Washa gave up his Waqifite beliefs and adopted faith in the Imamate of Imam Ridha (a.s).
