7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abdallah ibn Muhammad al-Khashshab from ibn Sama‘a from Ali ibn al-Hassan ibn Ribat from ibn ’Udhayna from Zurara that
he heard Abu Ja'far (al-Baqir) (as) say: "The twelve Imams all from the family of Muhammad (sw). They are all muhadiths from the descendants of the Rasulullah and the descendants of Ali (as). Rasulullah and Ali are their ancestors.” So he (Zurarah) said, "Ali bin Rashid was the brother of Ali bin al-Husayn (as) from his mother's side, but he (i.e. a man named Abdullah Ibn Zayd) denied this." So Abu Ja'far (as) became angry and said, "Verily, the son of your mother was one of them."
7ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْخَشَّابِ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ الاثْنَا عَشَرَ الامَامَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهم السَّلام) كُلُّهُمْ مُحَدَّثٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَمِنْ وُلْدِ عَلِيٍّ وَرَسُولُ الله وَعلي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) هُمَا الْوَالِدَانِ فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ كَانَ أَخَا عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ لامِّهِ وَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ فَصَرَّرَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ ابْنَ أُمِّكَ كَانَ أَحَدَهُمْ.
