Hadith 8

(The book) ‘Al Ghayba’ of Al Tusi – It is reported by Abu Ayoub Al Khowzy who said, ‘Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour sent for me in the middle of the night. I entered to see him, and he was seated upon a chair, and in front of him was a candle and in his hand was a letter. When I greeted to him, he threw the letter to me and he was crying, and said, ‘This is a letter of Muhammad Bin Suleyman informing us that Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws has died. We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj’ – (saying it) thrice – ‘And where are the like of Ja’far-asws? ’
Then he said to me, ‘Write! ’ I wrote in the middle of the letter. Then he said, ‘Write, ‘If he-asws has bequeathed to any man in particular, bring him forwards and strike off his neck! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘The answer returned to him, ‘He has bequeathed to five, one of them is Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour, and Muhammad Bin Suleyman, and Abdullah, and Musa Ibn Ja’far-asws, and Hameeda’. Al-Mansour said, ‘There isn’t any way to kill them! ’’[9]
