Tacit and Explicit Testimony as proof of abu al-Hassan al-Rida’s عليه السلام Divine Authority over the people after abu al-Hassan Musa عليه السلام

13ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ الاشْعَثِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ زُرْبِيٍّ قَالَ جِئْتُ إِلَى أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) بِمَالٍ فَأَخَذَ بَعْضَهُ وَتَرَكَ بَعْضَهُ فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ الله لايِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تَرَكْتَهُ عِنْدِي قَالَ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الامْرِ يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَنَا نَعْيُهُ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) ابْنُهُ فَسَأَلَنِي ذَلِكَ الْمَالَ فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ‏.
13. Ahmad ibn Mihran has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from ad-Dahhak ibn al-Ash‘ath from Dawud ibn Zurbi who has said the following. “Once I went to deliver some property to abu Ibrahim عليه السلام. He accepted some of it and left the others. I asked him, “May Allah keep you well, why have you left it with me?” He said, “The in charge of this task (Leadership with Divine Authority) will demand it from you.” When we heard the news of his (abu Ibrahim’s) death, abu al-Hassan sent his son to me asking for that property and I delivered it to him.”
