The Report of the Tablet

And narrated to us Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Yahya al-Attar رضي الله عنه: Narrated to me my father from Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab from Hasan bin Mahboob from Abil Jarud from Abi Ja’far عليه السلام from Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari that he said:
“One day I came to Fatima عليها السلام and before her was a tablet inscribed with the names of successors from her progeny. I counted twelve names, the last of whom was al-Qaim. There were three Muhammads and four Alis – bliss of Allah be on them all.”
