The Birth of the Possessor (of Divine Authority) عليه السلام

22ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ أَوْصَى يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الله بِدَابَّةٍ وَسَيْفٍ وَمَالٍ وَأُنْفِذَ ثَمَنُ الدَّابَّةِ وَغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ وَلَمْ يُبْعَثِ السَّيْفُ فَوَرَدَ كَانَ مَعَ مَا بَعَثْتُمْ سَيْفٌ فَلَمْ يَصِلْ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ.
22. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu Ali ibn Ghiyath from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan who has said the following. “ Yazid ibn ‘Abdallah has said in his will to sent a horse, a sword and certain other properties to holy location (office of the Imam عليه السلام. The money from the sale of the horse and other properties were delivered to the holy location but the sword was forgotten. A message then came that said, “With the items that you sent there was a sword that has not reached us.” Or the message was in similar words.”
