8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ ابي جعفر قَالَ لَمَّا قُبِضَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَامَ الْحَسَنُ بن علي (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ فَحَمِدَ الله وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَصَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ قُبِضَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ رَجُلٌ مَا سَبَقَهُ الاوَّلُونَ وَلا يُدْرِكُهُ الاخِرُونَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَصَاحِبَ رَايَةِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ مِيكَائِيلُ لا يَنْثَنِي حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ الله لَهُ وَالله مَا تَرَكَ بَيْضَاءَ وَلا حَمْرَاءَ إِلا سَبْعَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَضَلَتْ عَنْ عَطَائِهِ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِيَ بِهَا خَادِماً لاهْلِهِ وَالله لَقَدْ قُبِضَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا قُبِضَ وَصِيُّ مُوسَى يُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ وَاللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي عُرِجَ فِيهَا بِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَاللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي نُزِّلَ فِيهَا الْقُرْآنُ.

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn mmd from Sahl ibn Ziyad all from kbn Mahbub from abu Hamza from abu Ja‘far who has said the following. “When Amir al-Mu’minin Ali passed away, al-Hassan ibn Ali stoop up in the Mosque if Kufa. He praises Allah and spoke of His Glory prayed to Allah to grant blessings up on the Holy Prophet and then he said this. People tonight a man has passed away the like whom can not be found in previous and the coming generations. He was the standard bearer of the Messenger of Allah, with Jibril on his right micha’il on his left. He would not turn back until Allah would grant him victory. All that he has left of the worldly belongings is a seven hundred Dirham extra from his gifts with which he wanted to buy ( hire) a servant for his household. By Allah, he died during a night in which the executor of the will of Musa (Moses) Yusha‘ ibn Nun had passed away, the night in which Jesus son of Mary was taken to heavens and the night in which the Holy Quran was revealed.”
