Chapter 4 | On Imam Al-kazim’s (s) Clear Appointment of Imam al-Ridha (s)

19 - نَصُّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ المُتَوَكِّل رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى العَطَّارُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِىٍّ الخَزَّارِ قالَ: خَرَجْنا إِلى مَكَّةَ وَمَعَنا عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبي حَمْزَةَ وَمَعَهُ مالٌ وَمَتاعٌ، فَقُلْنا: ما هذا؟ قالَ: هذا لِلْعَبْدِ الصَّالِح a.sُ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْمِلَهُ إِلى عَلِيِّ ابْنِهِ a.sُ وَقَدْ أَوْصى إِلَيْهِ.قالَ مُصَنِّفُ هذا الْكِتاب: اِنَّ عَلِىَّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنْكَرَ ذلِكَ بَعْدَ وَفاةِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍعَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ، وَحَبَسَ المالَ عَنِ الرِّضا a.sُ.

4-19 In another tradition it is narrated that Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Motavakil - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Khazzaz, “We went towards Mecca with Ali ibn Abi Hamza. He was carrying some goods and property. I asked him, ‘What is all of this?’ He said, ‘They belong to the good servant (Imam al-Kadhim). He has ordered me to take them to his son Ali (s) since he has appointed him as his Testamentary Trustee.’”The author of this book (Sheikh Sadooq) said, “Ali ibn Hamza denied this after the death of Imam Musa ibn Ja’far (s) and did not turn these goods and property over to Imam Al-Ridha (s).”
