Hadith 33
۞
4-24 In another tradition we read that (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdillah, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isa bin Obayd, on the authority of Yunus ibn Abdurrahman, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn al-Mokhtar
“When Abul Hassan (Imam Al-Kadhim) (s) passed by Basra, we received letters from him (s) in which it was written, ‘My successoris my oldest son (Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s)).’”
24 - نَصُّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدُ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبِيْدٍ، عَنْ يُونُس بْنِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمنِ، عَنِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الُمخْتارِ قالَ
لَمّا مَرَّ بِنا أَبُوالحَسَن عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ بِالْبَصْرَةِ خَرَجَت إِلَيْنا مِنْهُ أَلْواحٌ مَكْتُوب فِيها بِالعَرْضِ عَهْدِي إِلىأَكْبَرِ وُلْدِي».
