Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · On Imam Al-kazim’s (s) Clear Appointment of Imam al-Ridha (s)
14 - نَصٌّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الحَسَن بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الوَلِيد رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنِ الحَسَنِ الصَفَّارُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبي الخَطَّاب، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الفُضَيْلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ الحارِثِ - وَاُمُّهُ مِنْ وُلْدِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبي طالِب - قالَ: بَعَثَ إِلَيْنا أَبُوإِبْراهِيم عَلَيْهِ السَّــلامُ فَـجَمَعَنا، ثُـمَّ قــالَ: أَتَـدْرُونَ لِمَ جَـمَعْتُكُمْ قُلْنا: لا، قالَ: اشْهَدُوا أَنَّ عَلِيّاًابْنِي هذا، وَصِيِّي وَالقَيِّمُ بِأَمْرِي وَخَلِيفَتِي مِنْ بَعْدي، مَنْ كانَ لَهُ عِنْدِي دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأْخُذْهُ مِنِ ابْنِي هذا، وَمَنْ كانَتْ لَهُ عِنْدِي عِدَةٌ فَلْيَسْتَنْجِزْها مِنْهُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بُدٌ مِنْ لِقائِي فَلا يَلْقِنِي إلاَّ بِكِتابِهِ.
4-14 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 Muhammad ibn Al-Hussein ibn Abi Al-Khattab, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Al-Fozayl, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Al-Harith whose mother is a descendant of Ja’far ibn Abi Talib, “Abu Ibrahim (al-Kadhim) (s) sent someone after us, gathered us together and asked us, ‘Do you know why I have gathered you together?’ We replied, ‘No.’ ImamAl-Kadhim (s) said, ‘Bear witness that this - my son Ali is my Testamentary Trustee. He (s) is in charge of all my affairs. He (s) is my successor. Whoever has lent me something can take it back from him. Whoever has been given a promise by me should ask him to fulfill that promise. Whoever has to visit me in person can come to see me with a note from him.’”
