107- محمد بن عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري عن أبيه عن أحمد بن هلال العبرتائي عن ابن أبي عمير عن سعيد بن غزوان عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم في حديث له: إن الله اختار من الناس الأنبياء، واختار من الأنبياء الرسل، واختارني من الرسل، واختار مني عليا، واختار من علي الحسن والحسين، واختار من الحسين الأوصياء، تاسعهم قائمهم،وهو ظاهرهم وباطنهم.

H 107 - Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari has narrated from his father from Ahmad bin Hilal Abratai from Ibn Abi Umair from Saeed bin Ghazwan from Abu Basir from Imam Ja’far Sadiq that he said: “Surely Allah chose the prophets from the people and chose the messengers from the prophets and chose me from the messengers and chose Ali from me. He granted him (Ali) superiority over all the successors. From Ali He chose Hasan and Husain and from Husain , He chose the successors from his descendants. The ninth of them is their Qaim (a.t.f.s.) and he is their apparent and their concealed.”
