حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ عليه السلام وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا لَوْحٌ فِيهِ أَسْمَاءُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ فَعَدَدْتُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ اسْماً آخِرُهُمُ الْقَائِمُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْهُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلِيٌّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ.
Narrated to us Husain bin Ahmad bin Idrees رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us my father from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa and Ibrahim bin Hashim, all of them 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.”
