6ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَوْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْهَاشِمِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى ابي جعفر صَبِيحَةَ عُرْسِهِ حَيْثُ بَنَى بِابْنَةِ الْمَأْمُونِ وَكُنْتُ تَنَاوَلْتُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ دَوَاءً فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي صَبِيحَتِهِ أَنَا وَقَدْ أَصَابَنِي الْعَطَشُ وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ بِالْمَاءِ فَنَظَرَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ فِي وَجْهِي وَقَالَ أَظُنُّكَ عَطْشَانَ فَقُلْتُ أَجَلْ فَقَالَ يَا غُلامُ أَوْ جَارِيَةُ اسْقِنَا مَاءً فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي السَّاعَةَ يَأْتُونَهُ بِمَاءٍ يَسُمُّونَهُ بِهِ فَاغْتَمَمْتُ لِذَلِكَ فَأَقْبَلَ الْغُلامُ وَمَعَهُ الْمَاءُ فَتَبَسَّمَ فِي وَجْهِي ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا غُلامُ نَاوِلْنِي الْمَاءَ فَتَنَاوَلَ الْمَاءَ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي فَشَرِبْتُ ثُمَّ عَطِشْتُ أَيْضاً وَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ بِالْمَاءِ فَفَعَلَ مَا فَعَلَ فِي الاولَى فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْغُلامُ وَمَعَهُ الْقَدَحُ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتُ فِي الاولَى فَتَنَاوَلَ الْقَدَحَ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ فَنَاوَلَنِي وَتَبَسَّمَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ فَقَالَ لِي هَذَا الْهَاشِمِيُّ وَأَنَا أَظُنُّهُ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ.

6. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn Hamza al-Hashimi from Ali ibn Muhammad or Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hashimi who has said the following “ I went tot see abu Ja‘far in the morning of his marriage to the daughter of al-Ma’al-Ma’mun. The night before I had taken medicine and I was the first to meet him that morning. I was thirsty but did not like to ask for water. Abu Ja‘far looked at me and said, “I think you are thirsty.” I said, “Yes, I am thirsty.” He called, “O Ghulam (male slave or servant) or Jariya (female slave orservant) bring us water.” I said to myself, “They may poison the water. For this reason I became depressed. The servant then came with water. He (abu Ja‘far looked at me with a smile and, “O Ghulam, give the water.” He drank from it and gave the rest to me and I drank. I became thirsty again and did not like to ask for water. He then did as he had done before. When the Ghulam (servant) came with the bowl of water I thought as I thought before. He then took the bowl, drank from it and gave the rest to me with a smile.” Muhammad ibn Hamza has said that this Hashimi told me, “I think what they (Shi‘a ) say (that Imams possess Divine Authority) about him is true.”
