The Specific words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High and the Messenger of Allah that Grant Divine Authority to Everyone of the Imams عليه السلام
7ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ صَبَّاحٍ الازْرَقِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْمُخْتَارِيَّةِ لَقِيَنِي فَزَعَمَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ إِمَامٌ فَغَضِبَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ فَلا قُلْتَ لَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لا وَالله مَا دَرَيْتُ مَا أَقُولُ قَالَ أَ فَلا قُلْتَ لَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ فَلَمَّا مَضَى علي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَوْصَى إِلَى الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ وَلَوْ ذَهَبَ يَزْوِيهَا عَنْهُمَا لَقَالا لَهُ نَحْنُ وَصِيَّانِ مِثْلُكَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ وَأَوْصَى الْحَسَنُ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ وَلَوْ ذَهَبَ يَزْوِيهَا عَنْهُ لَقَالَ أَنَا وَصِيٌّ مِثْلُكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَمِنْ أَبِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأُولُوا الارْحامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلى بِبَعْضٍ هِيَ فِينَا وَفِي أَبْنَائِنَا.
7- Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Muhammad ibn 'Isa, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Sabāh al-Azraq, said: I said to Abu Ja'far al-Baqir عليه السلام: "A man from the Mukhtariyyah met me and claimed that Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah is an Imam." Abu Ja'far عليه السلام became angry and said: "Did you not tell him...? I said: 'No, by Allah, I did not know what to say.' He said: 'Did you not tell him that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) entrusted Ali, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn? When Ali عليه السلام passed away, he entrusted al-Hasan and al-Husayn. If anyone tried to take that away from them, they would say: 'We are the trustees like you,' and he would not do that. Al-Hasan entrusted al-Husayn, and if anyone tried to take that away from him, he would say: 'I am a trustee like you from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) and from my father,' and he would not do that. Allah, the Exalted, said: 'And those who are related by blood are more entitled to one another.' This applies to us and to our children."
