4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ قَالَ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى اسْتِكْمَالُ حُجَّتِي عَلَى الاشْقِيَاءِ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ مِنْ تَرْكِ وَلايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَالاوْصِيَاءِ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمْ سُنَّتَكَ وَسُنَّةَ الانْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَهُمْ خُزَّانِي عَلَى عِلْمِي مِنْ بَعْدِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ لَقَدْ أَنْبَأَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad Ibn Husayn from al-Nadr ibn Shu‘ayb from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu Hamza who has said that he hear Imam abu Ja’far say the following. “The Holy Prophet (s.a.) has said that Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has said, “My authority is completely established among the unfortunate ones of your followers. Those who would refuse to acknowledge the Divine authority of Amir al-Mu’minin the his successors, (they have rejected My authority). Amir al-Mu’minin and his successors have with your traditions and the traditions of the prophets before you. They are the treasurers of My knowledge after you. The Holy Prophet (s.a.) then said, “ Jibril (Gabrael) has informed me of the successors of Amir al-Mu’minin and the names of their fathers.”
