Hadith 43

(The book) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al-Reza-asws’ – By the chain from Al Yaqteeny, from Ziyad Bin Marwan Al Qandy who said, ‘I entered to see Abu Ibrahim-asws and his-asws son-asws Ali-asws was with him-asws. He-asws said to me: ‘O Ziyad! This one, his-asws writing is my-asws writing, and his-asws talking is my-asws talking, and his-asws messenger is my-asws messenger, and whatever he-asws says, so his-asws word is my-asws word’’. [46]
Note: Ziyad Bin Marwan Abu Fazl, and it is said Abu Abdullah Al-Anbary Al-Qandy, slave of the clan of Hashim. He reported from Abdullah-asws and Abu Al-Hassan-asws, and he stopped regarding Al-Reza-asws. It is reported by Al-Kashy, page 396 & 416, by his chain from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws died and there was no from his-asws custodians except and there was a lot of wealth in his possession. And that was the cause of their pausing and their rejecting his-asws death, and in the possession of Ziyad Al-Qandy, there were seventy thousand Dinars, and in the possession of Ali Bin Abu Hamza, there were thirty thousand Dinars. He said, ‘I saw that, and the truth became clear to me, and I recognised from the matter of Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws of what had been done. So I spoke and invited the people to him-asws. He said, ‘They both sent for me and said to me, ‘Do not call to this one! If you want the wealth, we shall enrich you’, and they guaranteed ten thousand Dinars for me, and they said to me, ‘Stop! ’
And Al Khateeb said, ‘And as for Masjid Al-Anbariyeen, it is attributed to them due to the large numbers of them who settled it, and Ziyad Al-Qandy preceded the ones of them who settled, and he behaved during the days of Al-Rasheed. And Al-Rasheed had placed Abu Wakie Al-Jarah Bin Maleeh in charge of the public treasury. He left behind Ziyad, and Ziyad was a Shia from the exaggerators. He and a group from the scribes were ensnared, and they were cut (pieces of land) from the public treasury, and that held good in the presence of Al-Rasheed. So, he ordered with cutting a hand of Ziyad. He said, ‘O commander of the faithful! The cutting of the hand is not obligated upon me. But rather, I was ensnared, and rather I was betrayed’. So, he stopped from cutting his hand. Al-Sadouq, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘Ziyad Bin Marwan reported this Hadeeth, then denied it after Musa-asws had passed away, and he said with the pausing, and he withheld whatever was with him from the wealth of Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws’.
