98- وأخبرني جماعة عن أبي محمد هارون بن موسى التلعكبري قال:أخبرني أبو علي أحمد بن علي المعروف بابن الخضيب الرازي قال:حدثني بعض أصحابنا عن حنظلة بن زكريا التميمي، عن أحمد بن يحيى الطوسي، عن أبي بكر عبد الله بن أبي شيبة، عن محمد بن فضيل، عن الأعمش، عن أبي صالح، عن ابن عباس قال: نزل جبرئيل عليه السلام بصحيفة من عند الله على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فيها اثنا عشر خاتما من ذهب، فقال له: إن الله تعالى يقرأ عليك السلام ويأمرك أن تدفع هذه الصحيفة إلى النجيب من أهلك بعدك يفك منها أول خاتم ويعمل بما فيها، فإذا مضى دفعها إلى وصيه بعده، وكذلك الأول يدفعها إلى الآخر واحدا بعد واحد. ففعل النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ما أمر به. ففك علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام أولها وعمل بما فيها، ثم دفعها إلى الحسن عليه السلام ففك خاتمه وعمل بما فيها، ودفعها بعده إلى الحسين عليه السلام، ثم دفعها الحسين إلى علي بن الحسين عليه السلام، ثم واحدا بعد واحد حتى ينتهي إلى آخرهم عليهم السلام.
H 98 - A group of scholar informed me from Abu Muhammad Harun bin Musa Talakbari that he said: Informed me Abu Ali Ahmad bin Ali, alias Ibn Qazib Razi that: Narrated to me some of our scholars from Hanzala bin Zakariya Tamimi from Ahmad bin Yahya Tusi from Abu Bakr Abdullah bin Abi Shaibah from Muhammad bin Fudail from Amash from Abu Salih from Ibn Abbas that he said: Jibraeel (a.s) descended with a book from Allah upon the Messenger of Allah (s), having twelve golden seals. Then he said: “Surely, Allah the High greets you and orders you to hand over this book to the chosen one from your family after you. He will open the first seal and do according to what is in it. When he is about to expire, he should hand it over to his successor after him. Thus, the first will hand over to the last, one after the other.” The Holy Prophet (s) did as he was ordered. Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.s) opened the first of them (seals) and acted as per its instructions. Then he (a.s) handed it over to Hasan (a.s), who opened his seal and acted on it. He (a.s) handed over to Husain (a.s), who passed it on to Ali Ibn Husain (a.s). This went on from one to another till it reached the last one amongst them.
