حدثنا أبو الحسن محمد بن عمر [و] البصري، قال: حدثنا أبو القاسم نصر بن الحسين الصفار النهاوندي بها، قال: حدثنا أبو الفرج أحمد بن محمد بن خوزي السامري، قال: حدثنا أبو بكر القاسم بن إبراهيم القنطري، قال: حدثنا إبراهيم بن خالد الحلواني، قال حدثنا محمد بن خلف العسقلاني، قال: حدثنا محمد بن السري، عن محمد بن المنكدر، عن جابر بن عبد الله، قال. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: اقتدوا بالشمس فإذا غابت الشمس فاقتدوا بالقمر، فإذا غاب القمر فاقتدوا بالزهرة فإذا غابت الزهرة فاقتدوا بالفرقدين فقالوا: يا رسول الله فما الشمس؟ وما القمر؟ وما الزهرة؟ وما الفرقدان؟ فقال: أنا الشمس، و علي القمر، والزهرة فاطمة، والفرقدان الحسن والحسين.

Translation

2. We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, Muhammed bin Amru al-Basri, that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Qasim, Nasr bin Hussain al-Saffar al-Nahawandi, in it [1], that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Faraj, Ahmad bin Muhammed Khouzi al-Samiri, that he said: We were told by Abu Bakr, Qasim bin Ibrahim al-Qantari, that he said: We were told by Ibrahim bin Khalid al-Halwani, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Khalaf al-‘Asqalani, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Surri, from Muhammed bin Munkadir, from Jabir bin Abdullah, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Follow the sun, and if the sun is absent, follow the moon, and if the moon is absent, follow the Zuhra, and if the Zuhra is absent, follow the two Farqads. Then they said: O Messenger of Allah, what is the sun? And what is the moon? And what is the Zuhra? And what are the two Farqads? So he said: I am the Sun, Ali is the Moon, the Zuhra is Fatima and the Two Farqads are Hasan and Hussain.
