Arabic text

14- عنه، عن أحمد بن مهران، عن محمد بن علي، عن زياد بن مروان القندي- (وكان من الواقفة) قال: دخلت على أبي إبراهيم عليه السلام وعنده أبو الحسن إبنه فقال لي:يا زياد هذا إبنى علي، أن كتابه كتابي، وكلامه كلامي، ورسوله رسولي، وما قال فالقول قوله.

Translation

H 14 - It is narrated from Ahmad bin Mehran from Muhammad bin Ali from Ziyad bin Marwan Qandi, who was from the Waqifiya sect that he said: I visited Abu Ibrahim [Imam Kadhim (a.s)]. With him was Abul Hasan [Ali Ridha (a.s)], his son. Imam (a.s) said: Ziyad, this is my son, Ali. His writing is my writing, his words are my words, his messenger is my messenger, and whatever he says, (the truth) is what he says.
