Refutation of the Claim of the Nawusiyyah and the Waqifah Concerning the Occultation
حدثنا أحمد بن زياد الهمداني - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم عن أبيه إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن محمد بن صدقة العنبري قال: لما توفي أبو إبراهيم موسى ابن جعفر عليهما السلام جمع هارون الرشيد شيوخ الطالبية وبني العباس وسائر أهل المملكة والحكام وأحضر أبا إبراهيم موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام فقال: هذا موسى بن جعفر قد مات حتف أنفه وما كان بيني وبينه ما استغفر الله منه في أمره يعني في قتله فانظروا إليه فدخل عليه سبعون رجلا من شيعته فنظروا إلى موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام وليس به أثر جراحة ولا سم ولا خنق، وكان في رجله أثر الحناء فأخذه سليمان بن أبي جعفر وتولى غسله وتكفينه واحتفى وتحسر في جنازته
It is narrated from Ahmad bin Ziyad Hamadani from Ali bin Ibrahim from his father Ibrahim bin Hashim from Muhammad bin Sadaqa Anbari that he said: “When Abu Ibrahim Musa bin Ja’far was martyred, Harun Rashid gathered the seniors of Taalbiya, Abbasids and the rulers of all the states and showed them the body of Abu Ibrahim Musa bin Ja’far and said: This is Musa bin Ja’far who died a natural death and I did nothing to him, for which I will have to repent in front of God. Come and have a look at him. Come forward and look at him. Seventy of his Shias entered and saw Musa bin Ja’far. There was no injury or a sign of poisoning on his body. His hands had color of henna. Sulaiman bin Abu Ja’far lifted his body and took the responsibility of performing his ghusl, shrouding and burying him. He went to the funeral bare-feet sans his turban.
