حدثنا المظفر بن جعفر بن المظفر العلوي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا جعفر بن محمد ابن مسعود، عن أبيه قال: حدثنا جبرئيل بن أحمد الفاريابي قال: حدثني الحسن بن خرزاد ، عن محمد بن موسى بن الفرات، عن يعقوب بن سويد بن مزيد الحارثي، عن عمرو ابن شمر، عن جابر بن يزيد، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: قلت له: جعلت فداك لم سمي أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام أمير المؤمنين؟ قال: لأنه يميرهم العلم، أما سمعت كتاب الله عز وجل " ونمير أهلنا ".
13. We were told by Mudaffar bin Ja’far bin Mudaffar al-Alawi, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Ja’far bin Muhammed ibn Mas’ud, from his father, that he said: We were told by JIbra’eel bin Ahmad al-Faryabi, that he said: I was told by Hasan bin Khazrad, from Muhammed bin Musa bin Furat, from Ya’qub bin Suwayd bin Mazeed al-Harithi, from Amru ibn Shimr, from Jabir bin Yazid, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he [1] said: I said to him: May I be sacrificed for you, why was the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, named the Commander of the Believers? He said: Because he was granting knowledge to them. Have you not heard the Book of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And We will obtain provision for our family» (12:65)?
