From him has narrated from Bashshar ibn Ahmad from ‘Abdallah ibn Muhammad al-Isfahani who has said the following. “Abu al-Hassan عليه السلام said, “Your master (Imam) after me will be the one who will perform prayer for me (prayer for burial).” The narrator has said that we did not know abu Muhammad عليه السلام before this. Abu Muhammad came out and prayed (for his burial).”
