[1] This seems to be a layered transmission. The only viable candidate for identification of the mentioned ʿAbd Allāh is he who is known as “al-Aftaḥ” (the flat-footed one), and who is Imam al-Bāqir’s صلوات الله عليه own grandson, who may not have even been born at the time that these statements were made, much less been in a position to claim the Imamate to which he had no right. Thus, that this is found attached to a tradition raised to Abī Jaʿfar al-Bāqir صلوات الله عليه can only be explained as a retroactive add-on.
