On Indications of the Divine Leadership of Ar-Ridha عليه السلام
6 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِى ماجِيلوَيْه رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُقالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى العَطَّار عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْران الأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حِسان الرَّازِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِى الكُوفِي عَنْ الحَسَن بْنِ هارُون الحارثي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ داوُدِ قالَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي عِنْدَ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فَأَتَاهُ مَنْ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ رَبَطَ ذَقَنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ فَمَضَى أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ وَمَضَيْنَا مَعَهُ وَإِذَا لَحْيَاهُ قَدْ رُبِطَا وَإِذَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَوُلْدُهُ وَجَمَاعَةُ آلِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَبْكُونَ فَجَلَسَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ عِنْـدَ رَأْسِـهِوَنَظَرَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَتَبَسَّمَ فَنَقَمَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الَْمجْلِسِ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّمَا تَبَسَّمَ شَامِتاً بِعَمِّهِ قَالَ وَخَرَجَ لِيُصَلِّيَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ جُعِلْنَا فِدَاكَ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا فِيكَ مِنْ هَؤُلاءِ مَا نَكْرَهُ حِينَ تَبَسَّمْتَ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ إِنَّمَا تَعَجَّبْتُ مِنْ بُكَاءِ إِسْحَاقَ وَهُوَ وَاللَّهِ يَمُوتُ قَبْلَهُ وَيَبْكِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ فَبَرَأَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَمَاتَ إِسْحَاق.
47-6 Muhammad ibn Ali Majilawayh - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted in the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Imran al-Ash’ari, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Hassaan Ar-Razi, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ali al-Kufi, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Harun al-Harithi, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Dawood, “My brother and I were with Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام when they brought us the news that Muhammad ibn Ja’far’s jaw had been closed. Abul Hassan Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام went there and we went along with him. We saw that they had closed Muhammad’s jaws. Ishaq ibn Ja’far, his children and others from the Talibites were crying. Then Abul Hassan عليه السلام sat next to his head and looked at his face and smiled. Those who were present resented this. Some of them said, ‘This smile was aform of blaming his uncle.’ We left to pray in the mosque. I told the Imam عليه السلام, ‘May I be your ransom! We heard them say things which implied that they resented it when you smiled.’ Abul Hassan عليه السلام said, ‘It was because I was amazed at Ishaq crying while he would die before Muhammad, and Muhammad would cry for him.’ Then Muhammad was cured and Ishaq died.”
