Shaykh Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-Ṭūsī · Clear declaration of Imam Kadhim about the Imamate of Imam Ridha
21- وروى أحمد بن إدريس، عن علي بن محمد بن قتيبة، عن الفضل بن شاذان النيشابوري، عن محمد بن سنان وصفوان بن يحيى وعثمان بن عيسى، عن موسى بن بكر قال:كنت عند أبي إبراهيم عليه السلام فقال لي:إن جعفرا عليه السلام كان يقول: سعد امرؤ لم يمت حتى يرى خلفه من نفسه، ثم أومأ بيده إلى إبنه علي فقال:هذا وقد أراني الله خلفي من نفسي.
H 21 - It is narrated from Ahmad bin Idris from Ali bin Muhammad bin Qutaibah from Fadhl bin Shazan Nishapur from Muhammad bin Sinan and Safwan bin Yahya and Uthman bin Isa from Musa bin Bakar that he said: I was in the company of Abu Ibrahim, Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s). The Imam said: Indeed, Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) said: A man is fortunate, who before his death sees his successor from his progeny. After that the Imam pointed out to his son, Ali and said: Almighty Allah has pointed out this son, who is from my life, as my successor.
