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
5ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ اللُّؤْلُؤِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ لابِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنِّي قَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَدَقَّ عَظْمِي وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ أَبَاكَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَأَخْبَرَنِي بِكَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي مَنْ بَعْدَكَ فَقَالَ هَذَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا.
5. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from al-Hassan ibn al-Husayn al-Lu’lu’i from Yahya ibn ‘Amr from Dawud al-Raqqi who has said the following. “I said to abu al-Hassan aMusa عليه السلام, ‘I have grown old and my bones are weakening. I asked your father عليه السلام and he informed me about you. Would you also inform me (about the Imam after you).” The Imam عليه السلام said, “This abu al-Hassan al-Rida.”
