Chapter 33 | Imamate of Imam Hasan Askari

173- وروى سعد بن عبد الله عن أبي هاشم الجعفري قال: كنت محبوسا مع أبي محمد عليه السلام في حبس المهتدي بن الواثق، فقال لي: يا با هاشم، إن هذا الطاغي أراد أن يعبث بالله في هذه الليلة، وقد بتر الله عمره وجعله للقائم من بعده. ولم يكن لي ولد وسأرزق ولدا. قال أبو هاشم: فلما أصبحنا شغب الأتراك على المهتدي فقتلوه، وولي المعتمد مكانه وسلمنا الله تعالى.

H 173 - Saad bin Abdullah has narrated from Abu Hashim Ja’fari that he said: I was imprisoned with Imam Hasan Askari in the prison of Mohtadi bin Wathiq. Imam said to me: O Aba Hashim, this transgressor wanted to play with divine destiny, but Allah, the Mighty and the High has cut off his life and transferred his kingdom to his successors. I don’t have a son at present; but very soon, I will be bestowed with one. Abu Hashim said: The following morning Turks attacked Mohtadi and slew him and Motamid succeeded him to the throne. Almighty Allah saved us from the intrigue of Mohtadi also.
