17 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِاللَّه بْنِ أَبي خَلَفٍ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِاللَّه بْنِ مُسْكانَ، عَنْ أَبانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ، عَنْ سُلَيمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الهِلالِيِّ، عَنْ سَلْمان الفارْسِيِرحمه الله قالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فَإِذا الحُسَيْنُ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُقَبِّلُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَيَلْثِمُ فاهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: أَنْتَ سَيِّدٌ بْنُ سَيِّدٍ، أَنْتَ إمامٌ بْنُ إمامٍ، أَنْتَ حُجَّةٌ بْنُ حُجَّةٍ، أَبُو حُجَجٍ تِسْعَةٍ مِنْ صُلْبِكَ تاسِعُهُمْ قائِمُهُمْ.

6-17 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Khalaf quoted on the authority of Yaqoob ibn Yazid, on the authority of Hammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Moskan, on the authority of Aban ibn Taqlib, on the authority of Solaym ibn Qays al-Hilali, on the authority of Salman al-Farsi - may God have Mercy upon him said, “I went to see the Prophet (s). Al-Hussein was sitting on his lap. The Prophet (s) was kissing his eyes and lips and said, ‘You are a Master, the son of a Master. You are an Imam, the son of an Imam. You are a Proof, the son of a Proof. You are the father of nine Proofs that come from your loin. The one from your ninth generation will be the Riser.’”
