Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · On Imam Al-kazim’s (s) Clear Appointment of Imam al-Ridha (s)
8 - نَصٌّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ الوَلِيد رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنِ الحَسَن الصَفَّارُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ مُحَمَّد الحَجَّالِ ؛ وَأَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبي نَصْرٍ البِزَنْطِيِّ، عَنْ أَبي عَلِيٍّ الخَزَّار، عَنْ داوُدِ الرَّقِّيِّ قالَ: قُلْتُ لأَبِيإِبْراهيمَ - يَعْنِي موسى الكاظِمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ - فِداكَ أَبي إِنّي قَدْ كَبُرْتُ وَخِفْتُ أَنْ يَحْدُثَ بي حَدَثٌ وَلا أَلْقاكَ فَأَخبِرْنِي مِنَ الإِمامُ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ؟ فَقالَ: اِبْنِي عَلِيِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ.
4-8 In another tradition it is narrated that Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Valid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan As-Saffar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Muhammad Al-Haj’jal and Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr Al-Bezanti, on the authority of Abi Ali Al-Khazzaz, on the authority of Dawood Ar-Riqqi that he asked Abi Ibrahim - that is Musa Al-Kadhim (s), “May my father be your ransom! I have become old. I am afraid that something might happen to me, and I may not be able to visit you anymore. Can you please inform me about the Imam after you?” Then the Imam (s) said, “My son, Ali.”
