Tacit and Explicit Testimony as proof of abu Muhammad al-Hassan ‘s عليه السلام Divine Authority over the people after Ali ibn Muhammad عليه السلام
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْقَلانِسِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لابِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنْ كَانَ كَوْنٌ وَأَعُوذُ بِالله فَإِلَى مَنْ قَالَ عَهْدِي إِلَى الاكْبَرِ مِنْ وَلَدَيَّ.
6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Qalanisi from Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn ‘Amr from Ali ibn Mahziyar who has said the following. “Once I said abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, “If something will happen-I seek refuge before Allah – to who then will go (Leadership with Divine Authority)?” He said, “My covenant (directive will) is for the eldest of my sons.”
