The Continuity of the Divine Testament Since the Time of Adam عليه السلام
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَمْدَانَ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الدَّهَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعَّادٌ وَ هُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عليه السلام قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ مَقْبُوضٌ وَ أَوْشَكَ أَنْ أُدْعَى فَأُجِيبَ وَ قَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْآخَرِ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَ عِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي فَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ.
Narrated to us Hasan bin Abdullah bin Saeed: Informed us Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Hamdan Qushairi: Narrated to us Husain bin Hameed: Narrated to me my brother Hasan bin Hameed: Narrated to me Ali bin Thabit Dahhan: Narrated to me Suaad - and he is ibn Sulaiman - from Abi Ishaq from al-Harith from Ali عليه السلام that he said: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: “The time of my summons (of death) is near and I will accept it. Thus I leave among you two heavy things. One of them is superior to the other: the Book of Allah and my progeny, my Ahlul Bayt. The two shall not separate from each other till they reach me at the Pool.”
