Third Objection: Rejection of the Imamate of isma'il

Narrated to us my father who said: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari quoting from Ibrahim bin Mahziyar from his brother, Ali bin Mahziyar from Muhammad bin Abi Hamza from Marrah the slave of Muhammad bin Khalid that he said: “When Ismail passed away, Abu Abdillah (Imam Ja’far Sadiq) came up to the grave and squatted on side of it and did not descend into the grave. Then he said: It was the same that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم had done when his son, Ibrahim had died.”
