Fourth Objection: the People Fell Into Confusion Regarding the Imamate After Al-Sadiq
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الصُّهْبَانِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ مَرْوَكِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام قَالَ: ذُكِرَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ زُرَارَةُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَأَسْتَوْهِبُهُ مِنْ رَبِّي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَهَبُهُ لِي وَيْحَكَ إِنَّ زُرَارَةَ بْنَ أَعْيَنَ أَبْغَضَ عَدُوَّنَا فِي اللَّهِ وَ أَحَبَّ وَلِيَّنَا فِي اللَّهِ.
Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid from Muhammad bin Hasan Saffar quoting from Muhammad bin Abi Sahban from Mansur bin al-Abbas from Marook bin Ubaid from Darast ibn Abi Mansur Wasti from Abul Hasan Imam Musa bin Ja’far. The narrator says that when Zurarah was mentioned in the presence of Imam عليه السلام, the Imam said: By Allah, on Judgment Day I would seek Zurarah from my Lord, for myself, and He would give him to me. Woe be on you, indeed, Zurarah bin Uyun bore malice to our enemy for the sake of Allah and for His sake had regard for our friends.
