The Book of Occultation — al-Ṭūsī · Hadith 70 (#Ḥadīth #4)

11- عنه، عن محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن الحسين بن نعيم الصحاف قال: كنت أنا وهشام بن الحكم وعلي بن يقطين ببغداد، فقال علي بن يقطين:كنت عند العبد الصالح عليه السلام (جالسا فدخل عليه إبنه علي) فقال لي: يا علي بن يقطين هذا علي سيد ولدي، أما إني (قد) نحلته كنيتي. فضرب هشام براحته جبهته، ثم قال:ويحك كيف قلت؟ فقال علي بن يقطين:سمعته والله منه كما قلت.فقال هشام: إن الأمر (والله) فيه من بعده.

H 11 - It is narrated from Muhammad bin Yahya from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa from Hasan bin Mahbub from Husain bin Naeem Sahaf that he said: I, Hisham bin Hakam and Ali bin Yaqtin were in Baghdad, when Ali bin Yaqtin said: I was with Abdus Salih [Imam Musa Kadhim ] when his son, Ali entered. Imam said: O Ali bin Yaqtin, this Ali, is the chief of my children and I have given to him my agnomen (both were called Abul Hasan). [In another narration:] Hisham struck his face with the palm of his hand and said: Shame on you, how can you say that? ‘By God, I heard it from him, just as I said it,’ replied Ali bin Yaqtin. ‘Then, by God, the authority is for him after (Musa),’ said Hisham.
