Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · On Imam Al-kazim’s (s) Clear Appointment of Imam al-Ridha (s)
20 - نَصٌّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا عَلِىُّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الوَرَّاقُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدُ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبِيْدٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمنِ، عَنْ صَفْوانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبي أَيُّوب الخَزَّارِ، عَنْ سَلَمَةِ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ قالَ: قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: إِنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ العِجْلِيّةِ قالَ لي: كَمْ عَسى أَنْ يَبْقى لَكُمْ هذا الشَّيْخُ، إِنَّما هُوَ[لِ] سَنَةٍ أَوْ سَنَتَيْنِ حَتّى يَهْلِكَ، ثُمَّ تَصِيرُونَ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ أَحَـدٌ تَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَقـالَ عَبْدِ اللَّه عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: أَلا قُلْتَ لَهُ:هذا مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرعَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ ما يُدْرِكُ الرِّجال وَقَدْ اشْتَرَينا لَهُ جارِيَةً تُباحُ لَهُ فَكَأَنَّكَ بِهِ إِنْ شاءَ اللَّه وَقَدْ وُلِدَ لَهُ فَقِيهٌ خَلَفٌ.
4-20 In another tradition it is narrated that Ali ibn Abdullah al-Warraq - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isa ibn Obayd, on the authority of Yunus ibn Abdurrahman, on the authority of Safwan ibn Yahya, on the authority of Ayyoub al-Khazzaz, on the authority of Salama ibn Mohrez that he told Abi Abdillah (s), “A man from the Ejelites asked, ‘How much longer do you hope this old man will live? He will die in a couple of years and you will have no one to place your hopes in.” Abu Abdillah (s)asked, “Why didn’t you tell him that it is this Musa ibn Ja’far (s) who has become a man? We have bought him a slave-wife who is legitimate for him. Soon you will see that God willing he will have a highly-intelligent son.”
