حدثنا أبو علي أحمد بن أبي جعفر البيهقي، قال: حدثنا علي بن جعفرالمديني قال: حدثنا أبو جعفر المحاربي، قال: حدثنا ظهير بن صالح العمري، قال: حدثنا يحيى بن تميم، قال: أخبرنا المعتمر بن سليمان، عن أبيه، عن يزيد الرقاشي، عن أنس بن مالك قال: صلى بنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله صلاة الفجر فما انفتل من صلاته أقبل علينا بوجهه الكريم فقال: معاشر الناس من افتقد الشمس فليستمسك بالقمر، ومن افتقد القمر فليستمسك بالزهرة، ومن افتقد الزهرة فليستمسك بالفرقدين. قيل: يا رسول الله ما الشمس والقمر والزهرة والفرقدان؟ قال: أنا الشمس، وعلي القمر، وفاطمة الزهرة، والحسن والحسين الفرقدان، وكتاب الله لا يفترقان حتى يردا علي الحوض.

Translation

4. We were told by Abu Ali, Ahmad bin Abi Ja’far al-Bayhaqi, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ja’far al-Madini, that he said: We were told by Abu Ja’far al-Muharibi, that he said: We were told by Dhaheer bin Saleh al-‘Amri, that he said: We were told by Yahya bin Tamim, that he said: We were informed by Mu’tamir bin Sulayman, from his father, from Yazid al-Raqqashi, from Anas bin Malik, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, lead us in the dawn prayer, and when he departed from it, he approached us with his generous face and said: All people, the one who misses the sun, let him adhere to the moon, and the one who misses the moon, let him adhere to Zuhra, and the one who misses Zuhra, let him adhere to the Two Farqads. It was said: O Allah’s Messenger, what is the sun, the moon, the Zuhra and the two Farqads? He said: I am the Sun, Ali is the Moon, Fatima is the Zuhra and Hasan and Hussain are the two Farqads. So is the Book of Allah; they will not be separated until they come to me at the basin.
