1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Salma ibn al-Khattab from ‘Abdallah ibn Muhammad from Mani‘ ibn al-Hajjaj al-Basri from Majashi‘ from Mu‘alla from Muhammad ibn al-Fayd from abu Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following. “The staff of Moses belonged to Adam. It was passed to Shu‘ayb then to Moses ibn ‘Imran. Now it is with us. I have just, moments before, seen it. It is green just as being picked from its tree. It speaks if it is induced to do so. It is prepared for the one who will rise to establish the kingdom of Allah on earth. He will use it in the same way as Moses had done. It frightens and devours things made to trick people and it accomplishes whatever commands it receives. If it would proceed for a task it devours the treacherous materials. It opens into two branches; one on earth and the other towards the ceiling with an opening of forty yards in between and devours the deceptive materials with its tongue.”

With that dress on him, nothing of the cold or heat would harm him. When Abraham was about to die, he placed it in a covering and hanged it to Isacc (Ishaq) who hanged Jacob (Ya‘qub). When Joseph was born it was hanged to him and he had it on his shoulder until the event of the things that happened to this shirt. When Joseph took it out of its covering in Egypt, Jacob (Ya’qub) felt its fragrance as he said, “I smell Joseph’s scent. I hope that you will not accuse me of senility” (12:94). It was the same shirt that sent from paradise.” I then said, “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, to who did that shirt go thereafter?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “It went to its (people) owner.” Then he said, “Every prophet who inherited knowledge or other things, they all ended to the family of Muhammad (s.a.).”
