حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن موسى - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن موسى بن عمران النخعي، عن عمه الحسين بن يزيد النوفلي، عن علي ابن أبي حمزة، عن أبي بصيرة قال: سألته عما روي عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله أنه قال: " إن ولد الزنا شر الثلاثة " ما معناه؟ قال: عنى به الأوسط أنه شر ممن تقدمه وممن تلاه.

102. We were told by Muhammed bin Ali Majilawayh, from his paternal uncle, Muhammed bin Abi’l-Qasem, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah al-Barqi, from his father, from Muhammed bin Sinan, from Mufadhal bin Umar, that he said: I asked Abu Abdillah about the meaning of the saying of the Commander of the Believers, Allah’s blessings be upon him, when he looked at the Second while he was covered in his cloth: "Nothing is more beloved to me that I meet Allah with a journal from this covered person." He said: By that, he meant the journal which he wrote in the Ka’ba.
