5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَمْ يُعْطِ الانْبِيَاءَ شَيْئاً إِلا وَقَدْ أَعْطَاهُ مُحَمَّداً (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ وَقَدْ أَعْطَى مُحَمَّداً جَمِيعَ مَا أَعْطَى الانْبِيَاءَ وَعِنْدَنَا الصُّحُفُ الَّتِي قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صُحُفِ إِبْراهِيمَ وَمُوسى قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هِيَ الالْوَاحُ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from Ali ibn an-Nu‘man from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following. “Imam abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام said to me, “O abu Muhammad, Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has not given anything to the prophets that He has not given to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. The Imams عليه السلام further said, “Allah gave to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم all that He had given to the prophets. With us is the book about which Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, “The books of Abraham and Moses.” I then said, “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, are they the tablets?” The Imams عليه السلام said, “Yes, they are the tablets.”
