Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · On Imam Al-kazim’s (s) Clear Appointment of Imam al-Ridha (s)
11 - نَصٌّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زِيادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ الْهَمَذانيّ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَلِىُّ بْنُ إِبراهِيمِ بْنِ هاشِم، عَنْ أَبيهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خالِد البَرْقِيِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمانَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ الْمَرْوَزِيِّ قالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبي الحَسَن مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرعَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ وَأَنَا اُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ الحُجَّة عَلَى النَّاسِ بَعْدَهُ.فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلى فَابْتَدَأَنِي وقالَ: يا سُلَيْمان إِنَّ عَلِيّاً ابْنِي وَوَصِيِّي وَالحُجَّةُ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَعْدي،وَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ وُلْدِي، فَإِنْ بَقِيتَ بَعْدِي فَاَشْهَد لَهُ بِذلِكَ عِنْدَ شِيعَتِي وَأَهْل وِلايَتِي المُسْتَخْبِرِينَ عَنْ خَلِيفَتِي من بَعْدي.
4-11 In another tradition it is narrated that Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamadani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Bareqi, on the authority of Soleiman ibn Hafs al-Marwazi, “I went to see Abul Hassan Musa ibn Ja’far (s). I wanted to ask about the Divine Leader (Imam) after him. He (s) looked at me. Before I asked any question he (s) said, ‘O Soleiman! Ali (Al-Ridha (s)) is my son, my Testamentary Trustee and the DivineLeader (Imam) of the people after me. He is my noblest child. Then witness on his behalf to my followers and my friends who want to know about my successor if you live after me.’”
