4. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abdallah from al-Hassan from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I said to Abu al-Hassan the 1st 'Would you guide me to a person from whom I could learn my religion?'” He (the Imam) said, “This is my son Ali. My father took my hand until we were at the grave of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, “My son, Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has said, “. . I am appointing someone as my deputy on earth,. .” (2:30) When Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, says a word He keeps His word.”
