8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ سُكَّرَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله فَقَالَ يَا فُضَيْلُ أَ تَدْرِي فِي أَيِّ شَيْءٍ كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ قُبَيْلُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لا قَالَ كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ فِي كِتَابِ فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) لَيْسَ مِنْ مَلِكٍ يَمْلِكُ الارْضَ إِلا وَهُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهِ بِاسْمِهِ وَاسْمِ أَبِيهِ وَمَا وَجَدْتُ لِوُلْدِ الْحَسَنِ فِيهِ شَيْئاً.

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from ‘Abd al-Samad ibn Bashir from Fudayl ibn Sukra who has said that once I went to abu ‘Abdallah and he said the following to me. “O Fudayl, do you know what at did I look just awhile before?” The narrator has said that he said to the Imams , “No, I do not know.” The Imam said, “I was looking at the book of Fatima . There is no king who would rule on earth with being listed therein by his name and the name of his father but I did not find the name of any of the descendent of al-Hassan therein.”
