Hadith 81
۞
H 22 - It is narrated from Saad bin Abdullah from Muhammad bin Isa bin Ubaid from Ali bin Hakam and Ali bin Hasan Nafe from Harun bin Kharja that he said
Harun bin Saad Ajali said to me: Ismail, to whom you are inclined [and in whose Imamate you hope], has died. Ja’far [Imam Sadiq] is also aged and would pass away these days and you would remain without an Imam. I did not know what to reply. I mentioned this to Imam Sadiq (a.s). Imam (a.s) said: Never, by Allah! The Almighty Allah would never discontinue the matter of Imamate as long as the days and nights endure. When you meet him, tell him: This Musa bin Ja’far is growing up and we will get him married and he would get a son, who would be his Caliph and successor, if Allah wills.
22- عنه، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد، عن علي بن الحكم وعلي بن الحسن بن نافع، عن هارون بن خارجة قال: قال لي هارون بن سعد العجلي
قد مات إسماعيل الذي كنتم تمدون إليه أعناقكم، وجعفر شيخ كبير يموت غدا أو بعد غد فتبقون بلا إمام. فلم أدر ما أقول، فأخبرت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام بمقالته فقال: هيهات هيهات! أبى الله، والله،أن ينقطع هذا الأمر حتى ينقطع الليل والنهار. فإذا رأيته فقل له: هذا موسى بن جعفر يكبر ونزوجه، ويولد له فيكون خلفا إن شاء الله تعالى.
