2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ ابي جعفر قَالَ لَمَّا حَضَرَ الْحُسَيْنَ مَا حَضَرَهُ دَفَعَ وَصِيَّتَهُ إِلَى ابْنَتِهِ فَاطِمَةَ ظَاهِرَةً فِي كِتَابٍ مُدْرَجٍ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ مَا كَانَ دَفَعَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بن الحسين (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) قُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَا فِيهِ يَرْحَمُكَ الله فَقَالَ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ وُلْدُ آدَمَ مُنْذُ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى أَنْ تَفْنَى.

When what had to happen to al-Husayn did happen she gave it to Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s..” The narrator has said that then he asked the Imam . “What was in it, may Allah grant you blessings?” The Imam said, “It contained all that the children of Adam would need from the beginning of the world until it will end.”
