Hadith 49

(The book) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al-Reza-asws’ – Al Hamdany, from Ali, from his father, from Bakr Bin Salih who said, ‘I said to Ibrahim son of Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, ‘What is your word regarding your father-asws? ’ He said, ‘He is alive’. I said, ‘So what is your word regarding your brother Abu Al-Hassan (Al-Reza-asws)? ’ He said, ‘Trustworthy, truthful’. I said, ‘But he-asws is saying your father-asws has passed away! ’ He said, ‘He-asws is more knowing, and whatever he-asws is saying’. I repeated to him, and he repeated to me. I said, ‘Did your father-asws bequeath? ’ He said, ‘Yes’. I said, ‘To whom did he-asws bequeath? ’ He said, ‘To five of us, and he-asws made Ali-asws the head upon us’’. [52]
