28ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْجَرِيرِيِّ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْحَصِيرَةِ الأَسَدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كُنْتُ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي الْكَعْبَةَ فَصَلَّى عَلَى الرُّخَامَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ بَيْنَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ فَقَالَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ تَعَاقَدَ الْقَوْمُ إِنْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَوْ قُتِلَ أَلاَّ يَرُدُّوا هَذَا الأَمْرَ فِي أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ أَبَداً قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَنْ كَانَ قَالَ كَانَ الأَوَّلُ وَالثَّانِي وَأَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ وَسَالِمُ بْنُ الْحَبِيبَةِ.
28. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Faddal from Sufyan ibn Ibrahim al-Jaririy from al-Harith ibn al-Hasirah al-Asadiy from Abi Ja'far عليه السلام who has said the following: I entered the Ka'ba with my father, and so he prayed on the red marble between the two pillars and said: It was in this place that the people agreed that if the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم were to die or be killed, then the matter (i.e. rulership) would never be given to someone from his Ahl al-Bayt. He (al-Harith) said: I said: And who were they [that agreed upon this]? He said: They were the first, the second, Abu Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah and Salim b. al-Habibah.
