After Hasan and Husain عليه السلام No Two Brothers Can Be Imams
5- حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ جَمِيعاً عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَا تَكُونُ الْإِمَامَةُ فِي أَخَوَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع أَبَداً إِنَّمَا هِيَ فِي الْأَعْقَابِ وَ أَعْقَابِ الْأَعْقَابِ.
5 - Narrated to us my father: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah and Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari, all of them from Ibrahim bin Hashim from Abi Ja’far Muhammad bin Ja’far [from his father] from Abdul Hameed bin Nasr from Abi Ismail from Abi Abdullah عليه السلام that he said: “Imamate will never come together in two brothers after Hasan and Husain عليه السلام. It will continue in his (Husain’s) progeny one generation after another.”
