7- Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Muhammad ibn 'Isa, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from Sabāh al-Azraq, said: I said to Abu Ja'far al-Baqir (as): "A man from the Mukhtariyyah met me and claimed that Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah is an Imam." Abu Ja'far (as) became angry and said: "Did you not tell him...? I said: 'No, by Allah, I did not know what to say.' He said: 'Did you not tell him that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) entrusted Ali, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn? When Ali (as) passed away, he entrusted al-Hasan and al-Husayn. If anyone tried to take that away from them, they would say: 'We are the trustees like you,' and he would not do that. Al-Hasan entrusted al-Husayn, and if anyone tried to take that away from him, he would say: 'I am a trustee like you from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) and from my father,' and he would not do that. Allah, the Exalted, said: 'And those who are related by blood are more entitled to one another.' This applies to us and to our children."

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma’il from Mansur ibn Yunus from Zayd ibn al-Jahm al-Hilali who has said that heard Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say the following. “When Wilaya (Divine Authority over the people) of 'Ali ibn Abu Talib has descended and it was in the words of the Messenger of Allah they all greeted and congratulated Ali (a.s.) as the commander of the believers. Of the matters that Allah had stressed up on the two of them on that day, O Zayd was what came through the words of the Messenger of Allah for the two of them. “The two of you stand up and congratulate him ('Ali) as the commander of the believers. The two of them asked, “Is it from Allah or from the Messenger of Allah, O the Messenger of Allah?” The Messenger of Allah then said to the two of them, “It is from Allah and from His Messenger.” Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, then sent the following: “(He commands people) to keep their established covenants with God not to disregard their firm oaths; they have already appointed God as their Guarantor. God certainly knows what you do.” (16:91) The Imam (a.s.) said , “It refers to the words of the Messenger of Allah to the two of them and thier words to the the Messenger of Allah saying, “Is it from Allah or from the Messenger of Allah, O the Messenger of Allah ?” The point to note in this matter in the following words of Allah is Imams. “Do not be like the lady behind the spinning wheel who has broken the yarn by pulling it with unnecessary force. You must not consider your oaths as means of deceit to benefit one party and incur loss upon the other. . .” (16:92), just because they are the Imams who possess highier spiritual standard.” The narrator has said that he then asked the Imam (a.s.), ‘May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, is the word ’A’imma (Imams)? However, we read it Arba’? The Imam (a.s.) then said, “What Arba’ is it that you mention? He made a gesture with his hand as an indication of throwing away something and said, “Allah tests you through him (Ali (a.s.) “. . He will make clear to you who was right and who was wrong on the Day of Judgment. (16:92) Had God wanted, He would have made you one single nation but He guides or causes to go astray whomever He wants. You will certainly be questioned about what you have done. (16:93) Do not consider your oaths as a means of deceit lest you damage the firmness of your faith, (after what you have heard from the Messenger of Allah about Ali (a.s.) ) suffer from evil by creating obstacles in the way that leads to God, (a reference to Ali (a.s.) ) and incur a great torment upon yourselves (16:94).”

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn Fudayl from abu Hamza al-Thumali who has said that he heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.) say the following. “When Muhammad (s.a.) completed his task of prophet-hood and the duration of his life was about to end Allah, the Most High sent him wahy information through the angels. It said, “O Muhammad, your task of prophet-hood has come to an end and the duration of your life is about to reach a close. Therefore, you must place the knowledge with you, the faith, the great name, the legacy of knowledge and the symbols of the knowledge of the prophet-hood in your family with Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.). It is because I do not want to discontinue the knowledge, the faith, the great name, the legacy of the of knowledge and the symbols of knowledge of the prophet-hood from your posterior descendents as I had not done so with descendents of the prophets.”
