The Book of Occultation — al-Ṭūsī · Hadith 134 (#Ḥadīth #5)

73- وروى أبو علي محمد بن همام عن علي بن رباح قال: قلت للقاسم بن إسماعيل القرشي، وكان ممطورا: أي شيء سمعت من محمد بن أبي حمزة؟ قال: ما سمعت منه إلا حديثا واحدا. قال ابن رباح: ثم أخرج بعد ذلك حديثا كثيرا فرواه عن محمد بن أبي حمزة. قال ابن رباح: وسألت القاسم هذا: كم سمعت من حنان؟ فقال: أربعة أحاديث أو خمسة. قال: ثم أخرج بعد ذلك حديثا كثيرا فرواه عنه.

H 73 - Abu Ali Muhammad bin Himam has narrated from Ali bin Rabah that he said: I asked Qasim bin Ismail Qarshi, who was a Mamtur : What did you hear from Muhammad bin Abu Hamza? He replied: Only one tradition. But after that a large number traditions were issued by him and he narrated them all from Muhammad bin Abi Hamza. Ibn Rabah also says: I asked Qasim: How many traditions have you heard from Hannan? He replied: Four or five. But later on a large number of traditions were issued by Qasim, which he narrated from Hannan.
