Arabic text

و ما كان فيه عن مسمع بن مالك البصريّ فقد رويته عن أبي- رضي اللّه عنه- عن سعد بن عبد اللّه، عن أحمد بن محمّد بن عيسى، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن القاسم بن محمّد عن أبان، عن مسمع بن مالك البصريّ، و يقال له: مسمع بن عبد المالك البصريّ، و لقبه كردين و هو عربيّ من بني قيس بن ثعلبة و يكنّى أبا سيّار، و يقال: إنّ الصادق عليه السّلام قال له أوّل ما رآه: ما اسمك؟ فقال: مسمع فقال: ابن من؟ قال: ابن مالك فقال بل أنت مسمع بن عبد الملك‌.

Translation

Everything in this book that is narrated from Masma ibn Malik Al-Basri has been transmitted by me from my father - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from Sad ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Al-Husayn ibn Said, from Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from Aban, from Masma ibn Malik Al-Basri. He is also known as Masma ibn Abd Al-Malik Al-Basri, and his nickname was Kardin. He was an Arab from Banu Qays ibn Thalabah and was known by the kunya Abu Sayyar. It is reported that when Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) first saw him, he asked: "What is your name?" He replied: "Masma." The Imam asked: "Son of whom?" He replied: "Son of Malik." The Imam said: "Rather, you are Masma ibn Abd Al-Malik."
