3 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ زَكَرِيَّا الْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ وَ عَبَّادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْإِسْكَافِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَحْيَا مَحْيَايَ وَ يَمُوتَ مَمَاتِي وَ يَدْخُلَ جَنَّةَ عَدْنٍ فَيَلْزَمَ قَضِيباً غَرَسَهُ رَبِّي بِيَدِهِ فَلْيَتَوَلَّ عَلِيّاً وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ لْيُسَلِّمْ لِفَضْلِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُمُ الْهُدَاةُ الْمَرْضِيُّونَ أَعْطَاهُمُ اللَّهُ فَهْمِي وَ عِلْمِي وَ هُمْ عِتْرَتِي مِنْ لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي إِلَى اللَّهِ أَشْكُو عَدُوَّهُمْ مِنْ أُمَّتِيَ الْمُنْكِرِينَ لِفَضْلِهِمْ الْقَاطِعِينَ فِيهِمْ صِلَتِي وَ اللَّهِ لَيَقْتُلُنَّ ابْنِي لَا أَنَالَهُمُ اللَّهُ شَفَاعَتِي

3. Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan (ibn Aḥmad) ibn Walīed narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan Al-Saffār, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Zakariyyā Al-Mu`min, from Ayyūb ibn ‘Abdil Raḥmān, Abil Ḥasan Zayd ibn Ḥasan, and ‘Abbād, from Sa’d (ibn Ťarīf) Al-Iskāf, from Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir ), who said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: Those who want to live like me, die like me, enter the forever green Paradise, and hold on to the tree that my Lord has planted with His own hands, should follow ‘Ali and the successors after him and should submit to (believing in) their virtues. Verily they are the guides with whom Allāh is pleased. He has given them my knowledge and my understanding. They are my descendants who are from my flesh and blood. I complain to Allāh about their enemies from my nation, about those who deny their virtues, and about those who abandon me by (oppressing) them. I swear to Allāh that they will kill my son. May Allāh exclude them from my intercession.
