قُلْتُ لَهُ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي رَزَقَ أَبَاكَ مِنْكَ هَذِهِ الْمَنْزِلَةَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَكَ مِنْ عَقِبِكَ قَبْلَ الْمَمَاتِ مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَ قَدْ فَعَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هُوَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَأَشَارَ إِلَى الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ وَ هُوَ رَاقِدٌ فَقَالَ هَذَا الرَّاقِدُ وَ هُوَ غُلَامٌ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
2. A number of our people has narrated Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Abu Ayyub al-Khazzaz from Thubayt from Mua‘dh ibn Kathir who has said the following: "I said to Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah who has granted your father because of you such a high position to grant you also such high position through your successor before you will leave this world.' He then said, 'Allah has already granted such favor.' The narrator has said that he then asked the Imam (a.s.), 'Who is he, ‘May I be your ransom?' He pointed out towards the pious servant (of Allah), who was asleep, saying this man who is asleep. He was a young boy.”
