Hadith 98010-8 حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن الصقر الصائغ بالري قال: حدثنا محمد بن العباس ابن بسام قال: حدثني محمد بن خالد بن إبراهيم قال: حدثني إسماعيل بن موسى الثقفي قال: أخبرني عبد الله بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن عمرو بن شمر، عن جابر بن يزيد، عن محمد ابن علي الباقر، عن أبيه، عن جده عليهم السلام قال: قال علي عليه السلام: كان لي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عشر خصال: مايسرني بإحداهن ما طلعت عليه الشمس وماغربت، فقال له بعض أصحابه: بينها لنا يا علي، قال عليه السلام: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يقول: يا علي أنت الوصي، وانت الوزير، وانت الخليفة في الاهل والمال، ووليك وليي، وعدوك عدوي، وأنت سيد المسلمين من بعدي وأنت أخي، وأنت أقرب الخلائق مني في الموقف، وانت صاحب لوائي في الدنيا والآخرة
10-8 Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. al-Ṣaqr al-Ṣāʾigh narrated to us in Rayy, he said: Muḥammad b. al-ʿAbbās b. Bassām narrated to us, he said: Muḥammad b. Khālid b. Ibrāhīm narrated to me, he said: Ismāʿīl b. Mūsā al-Thaqafī narrated to me, he said: ʿAbd Allāh b. Muḥammad informed me; from his father; from ʿAmr b. Shimr; from Jābir b. Yazīd; from Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Bāqir (ʿas); from his father (ʿas); from his grandfather, Imam al-Ḥusayn (ʿas) who said that ʿAlī (ʿas) said, "I possess ten distinctive characteristics given to me by the Messenger of God (ṣ) more pleasing to me than everything over which the sun rises and sets." One of his companions requested of him, "Tell us about them, ʿAlī." He (ʿas) answered, "I heard the Messenger of God (ṣ) say, 'O' ʿAlī, you are the legatee, the vizier, and the Caliph over the people and property. Your friend is my friend, and your enemy is my enemy. You are the chief of the Muslims after me. You are my brother and the closest creation to me at the Halting Place. And you are my standardbearer in this world and the next.'"
Notes
Note that this tradition comes from the corpus of traditions transmitted by ʿAmr b. Shimr from Jābir b. Yazīd al-Juʿfī, which cover a vast amount of topics. This historical report is not the only one transmitted by him from Jābir, as fragments of his work which survive in quotations also preserve fragments of Jābir's now lost Maqtals of Imam ʿAlī (ʿas) and Imam al-Ḥusayn (ʿas). It is hard to determine, on the face of it, which of Jābir's historical works this fragment may have come from, if any.
