105- محمد بن عبد الله بن جعفر عن أبيه عن محمد بن عيسى عن محمد بن الفضل عن أبي حمــزة عـن أبـي جـعفر عليـه السـلام قـال: إن الله تعالى أرسل محمدا صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم إلى الجن والإنس عامة. وكان من بعده اثنا عشر وصيا، منهم من سبقنا ومنهم من بقي، وكل وصي جرت به السنة والأوصياء الذين من بعد محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم على سنة أوصياء عيسى إلى محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، وكانوا اثني عشر، وكان أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام على سنة المسيح.
H 105 - Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far has narrated from his father from Muhammad bin Isa from Muhammad bin Fadhl from Abu Hamza from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) that he said: “Surely Allah sent Muhammad (s) to the Jinn and the humans and He has appointed twelve successors after him. Some have passed, while others are yet to come. The practice continues through each successor. The successors of Muhammad (s) are on the practice of the successors of Isa (a.s) and they are twelve in number. Amirul Momineen (a.s) was on the practice of Masih (a.s).”
