6 - حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق (رضي الله عنه)، قال: أخبرنا أحمد بن محمد الهمداني مولى بني هاشم، قال: أخبرنا المنذر بن محمد، قال: حدثنا جعفر بن سليمان، عن أبيه، عن عمرو بن خالد، قال: قال زيد بن علي بن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام): في كل زمان رجل منا أهل البيت يحتج الله به على خلقه، وحجة زماننا ابن أخي جعفر بن محمد، لا يضل من تبعه، ولا يهتدي من خالفه (2).
Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Hamadani the servant of Bani Hashim informed us. He said: al-Mundhir b. Muhammad informed us. He said: Ja`far b. Sulayman narrated to us from his father from `Amr b. Khalid. He said: Zayd b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. `Ali b. Abi Talib said: In every age there is a man from us, the Ahl al-Bayt, whom Allah uses as a Proof over His creation. The Proof in our age is my cousin Ja`far b. Muhammad – he does not misguide those who follow him, and he does not guide those who oppose him.
