6ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ الْقَنْدِيِّ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْوَاقِفَةِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعِنْدَهُ ابْنُهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ لِي يَا زِيَادُ هَذَا ابْنِي فُلانٌ كِتَابُهُ كِتَابِي وَكَلامُهُ كَلامِي وَرَسُولُهُ رَسُولِي وَمَا قَالَ فَالْقَوْلُ قَوْلُهُ.
6. Ahmad ibn Mihran has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from Ziyad ibn Marwan al-Qandi, from the Waqifa sect who has said the following. “Once I went to see abu Ibrahim at that time his son abu al-Hassan al-Rida was with him. The Imam عليه السلام said to me, “O Ziyad, this is my son so and so. His writing is my writing, his words are my words, his messenger is my messenger and the true words are his words.”
