Tacit and Explicit Testimony as proof of abu al-Hassan Musa’s عليه السلام Divine Authority over the people after abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام
-أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله الْقَلاءِ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ ذَكَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ غُلامٌ فَقَالَ هَذَا الْمَوْلُودُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُولَدْ فِينَا مَوْلُودٌ أَعْظَمُ بَرَكَةً عَلَى شِيعَتِنَا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي لا تَجْفُوا إِسْمَاعِيلَ.
8. Ahmad ibn Mihran has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from ‘Abdallah al-Qalla’ from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following. “Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام spoke of abu al-Hassan عليه السلام and he was a young boy in those days. He said, “This is a child that no other child born to us has been of such a greater blessing to our followers than him.” The Imam عليه السلام then said to me, “Do not be harsh with Isma‘il.”
