11. My father said: Ahmad ibn Idris said, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya that Muhammad ibn al-Walid said, on the authority of Hammad ibn `Uthman, on the authority of Jamil ibn Durraj who said I asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq about the children of the Prophets . He replied, “They are not like the children of other people.” The reporter sys: I asked him about Ibrahim, son of the Messenger of Allah , that had he lived, would he have become a truthful one [siddiq]? He answered, “If he had lived, he would have followed in the footsteps of his father .”
