7 وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فِي قَوْلِ فِرْعَوْنَ ذَرُونِي أَقْتُلْ مُوسى فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَنْ كَانَ يَمْنَعُهُ قَالَ كَانَ لِرُشْدِهِ لِأَنَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَ الْحُجَجَ لَا يَقْتُلُهَا إِلَّا أَوْلَادُ زِنًا وَ الْبَغَايَا وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) وَ جَمَاعَةُ مَشَايِخِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ [بِهَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ]

7. Muḥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain (ibn Abil Khaťťāb), from ‘Ali ibn Asbāť, from Ismā’īl ibn Abī Ziyād, from some of his scholars, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) was asked, “Who stopped Fir’awn from killing Mūsā which is referred to in this verse, ‘Fir’awn said, ‘Let me kill Mūsā’ (40:26)?” Imam replied, “(Fir’awn could not kill Mūsā ) because he was conceived legitimately. Verily the prophets and the Decisive Proofs are only killed by those who are conceived illegitimately and by the children of adulteresses.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father and all of my scholars, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Abī Khalaf, from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain, from ‘Ali ibn Asbāť, from Ismā’īl ibn Abī Ziyād, from some of his scholars, from Abī ‘Abdillāh . My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from Ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from some of his companions, from Ibn Muskān, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) said: The killer of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali was conceived illegitimately.
