6-4 Abul Abbas Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Taliqani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Al-Hassan ibn Isma’il quoted on the authority of Sa’eed ibn Muhammad al-Qattan, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Musa al-Royani Abu Torab, on the authority of Abdul Azeem ibn Abdullah Al-Hassani, on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Hassan ibn Zayd ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (s), on the authority of Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Ja’far ibn Muhammad, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather (s): Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (s) gathered all his children together along with their uncle Zayd ibn Ali (s) and showed them some writing in the handwriting of Ali (s) and dictated by God’s Prophet (s) in which it was recorded, “This is a Book from God the Honorable the Wise.” It contains the same material as stated before until where it said, “They are the guided ones.” Then at the end he said, “I wonder about Muhammad ibn Ja’far (Imam Sadiq’s son) and his revolt having heard these from his father (s).’ “ Then he added, “These are God’s Secrets, His Religion and the Religion of His angels. Then guard it against those to whom it does not belong.”
