Tacit and Explicit Testimony as proof of al-Hassan ibn Ali’s عليه السلام Divine Authority over the people after Amir al-Mu’minin Ali عليه السلام

7ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَقِيلِيِّ يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ قَالَ لَمَّا ضَرَبَ ابْنُ مُلْجَمٍ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لِلْحَسَنِ يَا بُنَيَّ إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَاقْتُلِ ابْنَ مُلْجَمٍ وَاحْفِرْ لَهُ فِي الْكُنَاسَةِ وَوَصَفَ الْعَقِيلِيُّ الْمَوْضِعَ عَلَى بَابِ طَاقِ الْمَحَامِلِ مَوْضِعُ الشُّوَّاءِ وَالرُّؤَّاسِ ثُمَّ ارْمِ بِهِ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ وَادٍ مِنْ أَوْدِيَةِ جَهَنَّمَ.
7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan from Ali ibn Ibrahim al-‘Aqili, in a marfu‘ manner, (yarfa‘uhu) has said the following: “When Ibn Muljam injured Amir al-Mu’minin Ali عليه السلام he (Ali) said to al-Hassan عليه السلام, 'My son, If I will die, kill Ibn Muljam, dig the ground for him in al-Kunasa (name of a place) and throw him therein. (According to ‘Aqili’s description al-Kunasa is at the gate called ‘Taq al-Mahamil’ where people cook animals’ legs and heads for food) It is a valley of the valleys of Hell.”
