3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ عَنْ ابي جعفر قَالَ قَالَ لَهُ حُمْرَانُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَ رَأَيْتَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ عَلِيٍّ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ وَخُرُوجِهِمْ وَقِيَامِهِمْ بِدِينِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَا أُصِيبُوا مِنْ قَتْلِ الطَّوَاغِيتِ إِيَّاهُمْ وَالظَّفَرِ بِهِمْ حَتَّى قُتِلُوا وَغُلِبُوا فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ يَا حُمْرَانُ إِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَدْ كَانَ قَدَّرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَقَضَاهُ وَأَمْضَاهُ وَحَتَمَهُ ثُمَّ أَجْرَاهُ فَبِتَقَدُّمِ عِلْمِ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ الله قَامَ عَلِيٌّ وَالْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ وَبِعِلْمٍ صَمَتَ مَنْ صَمَتَ مِنَّا.

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Durays al-Kunasi from Humran who has said that once Humran asked abu Ja‘far the following. “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, ‘Why the cases of Ali al-Hassan and al-Husayn come about the way they did? Their rising and coming out for the religion of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High their suffering and being murdered at the hands of the rebellious devils and their defeat until they all were murdered and defeated.’” Abu Ja‘far then said, “O Humran, Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High had destined it for them. So it was decreed, approved and was made unavoidable. Then He executed it but it all happened with the prior knowledge of the same through the Messenger of Allah. Ali al-Hassan and al-Husayn all rose for the cause of Allah with knowledge of the consequences remained silent whoever of us that remained silent.”
