Chapter 69 | Tacit and Explicit Testimony as proof of abu Ja‘far’s Divine Authority over the people after Ali ibn al-Husayn

1 - أحمد بن إدريس، عن محمد بن عبد الجبار، عن أبي القاسم الكوفي، عن محمد ابن سهل، عن إبراهيم بن أبي البلاد، عن إسماعيل بن محمد بن عبد الله بن علي بن الحسين عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: لما حضر علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام الوفاة، قبل ذلك أخرج سفطا أو صندوقا عنده، فقال: يا محمد احمل هذا الصندوق، قال: فحمل بين أربعة، فلما توفي جاء إخوته يدعون [ما] في الصندوق فقالوا: أعطنا نصيبنا في الصندوق فقال: والله ما لكم فيه شئ ولو كان لكم فيه شئ ما دفعه إلي وكان في الصندوق سلاح رسول الله صلى الله عليه آله.

1. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from abu al-Qasim al-Kufi from Muhammad ibn Sahl from Ibrahim ibn abu al-Bilad from Isma’il ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abdallah ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn from abu Ja‘far who has said the following. “When Ali ibn al-Husayn was about to leave this world he took out a basket or a box that was with him. He then said, “O Muhammad take this box. “ The narrator has said that then he (Muhammad) took the box with four people. When The Imam died his sons came asking for the box and said, “Give us our share from the box.” He (Muhammad) then said to them, “By Allah, there is nothing for you in it. Had there been anything for you he would not have given it to me.” In the box there was the weapon of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.”
