Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa and Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, together from Ali Bin hadeed, from Jameel Bin Darraaj, from Zurara who said: Abu Ja’far (asws) was in the Sacred Masjid. So there was a mention of the Clan of Umayya and their government. Some of his (asws) companions said to him (asws), ‘We hope that you (asws) will become their master and that Allah (azwj) will Display this Command upon your (asws) hands’. So he (asws) said: ‘I (asws) am not their master, nor am I (asws) happy to be their master, for their companions are the sons of adultery. Allah (azwj) never Created, since the creation of the Heavens and the earth, years nor days shorter than their years and their days. Allah (azwj) Ordered the Angels in who hands is the orbit, to rotate it like a scroll’.
