16ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ نَحْنُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ إِمَاماً مِنْهُمْ حَسَنٌ وَحُسَيْنٌ ثُمَّ الائِمَّةُ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام )
16. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn mmd from al-Washsha’ from Aban from Zurara that he heard Abu Ja'far (al-Baqir) عليه السلام say: "We are twelve Imams, al-Hassan and al-Husayn are of them and [the rest of] the Imams are from the descendants of al-Husayn عليه السلام."
