What is Narrated From Al-Askari عليه السلام Regarding the Designation of Al-qa'im
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ع يَقُولُ كَأَنِّي بِكُمْ وَ قَدِ اخْتَلَفْتُمْ بَعْدِي فِي الْخَلَفِ مِنِّي أَمَا إِنَّ الْمُقِرَّ بِالْأَئِمَّةِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْمُنْكِرَ لِوَلَدِي كَمَنْ أَقَرَّ بِجَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ ثُمَّ أَنْكَرَ نُبُوَّةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْمُنْكِرُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص كَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ جَمِيعَ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ لِأَنَّ طَاعَةَ آخِرِنَا كَطَاعَةِ أَوَّلِنَا وَ الْمُنْكِرَ لِآخِرِنَا كَالْمُنْكِرِ لِأَوَّلِنَا أَمَا إِنَّ لِوَلَدِي غَيْبَةً يَرْتَابُ فِيهَا النَّاسُ إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
Narrated to us Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Yahya al-Attar رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah: Narrated to us Musa bin Ja’far bin Wahab Baghdadi that he said: I heard Aba Muhammad Hasan bin Ali عليه السلام say:
“As if I can see you disputing after me with regard to my successor. Behold, someone who professes faith in all the Imams after the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم yet denies my son, is like someone who professes faith in all prophets and messengers of Allah and then rejects the prophethood of Muhammad the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم; and the denier of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is like one who rejects all the prophets.
Because, obedience to our last one is obedience to our first one and rejecter of our last one is the rejecter of our first one. Behold, my son will have an occultation in which people will doubt except the ones whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime saves.”
