Hadith record

4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm who has said the following: “Once I said to abu al-Hassan (a.s.) ‘Do not forget me in your prayers.’ The Imam asked, ‘How do you know I forget you?’ I (the narrator) then thought in my soul and said to myself that he (Imam) prays for his Shi’a (followers) and I am a Shi’a. I then said to the Imam, ‘I know, you do not forget me in your prayers.’ The Imam asked, ‘How did you find out?’ I said, ‘You pray for your Shi’a and I am your Shi’a.’ The Imam asked, ‘Did you find out by any means other than that?’ I said, ‘No.’ The Imam said, ‘If you like to know what I have for you, see what you have for me in your heart.’”
