Hadith 35

l well! We are a group of employed representatives taking care of this wealth, and it is an entrustment for a community who have instructed us that we should not submit it except with a sign and evidence, and the norm has flowed with this with Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws’. The caliph said, ‘And what is the evidence which had been for Abu Muhammad-asws? ’
The group said, ‘He-asws used to describe the Dinars and their owners, and the wealth and how much it was. So when he (Ja’far) were to do that, we shall submit it to him, and we had come as delegates to him-asws repeatedly, and this used to be our signs from him-asws and our evidence. And he-asws has died, so if this man happens to be the master of this command, then let him establish to us what had been established to us by his brother-asws, or else we shall return it to its owners’. Ja’far said, ‘O commander of the faithful! This group is lying. They are lying upon my brother‑asws, and this (requires) knowledge of the hidden matters’. The caliph said, ‘The group are messengers, and it is not upon the messenger except the clear delivery’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Ja’far was stunned and did not respond an answer. The group said, ‘Can the commander of the faithful lengthen his order to the one who can protect us until we exit from this city? ’’
He (the narrator) said, ‘He ordered a captain to be for them who took them out from it (safely). When they had exited from the city, a boy emerged to them, best of the people in face, as if he was a servant. He called out, ‘O so and so, son of son and so! And O so and so, son of so and so! Answer your Master-ajfj! ’’
He (the narrator) said, ‘They said to him, ‘Are you our Master-ajfj? ’ He said, ‘Allah-azwj Forbid! I am a servant of your Master-ajfj, so travel to him-ajfj! ’
They said, ‘We travelled with him until we entered the house of our Master Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, and there was his-asws son-ajfj Al-Qaim-asws seated upon a bed, as if he-ajfj was a segment of the moon. Upon him-ajfj were green clothes. We greeted unto him-ajfj. He-ajfj responded the greeting to us, then said: ‘The total wealth is such and such Dinars. The load of so and so was such and such, and so and so was such and such’ – and he-ajfj did not cease to describe until he-ajfj had described it all. Then he-ajfj described our garments, and our luggage, and whatever animals were with us. We fell down in Sajdah to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic thanking for what we had recognised, and we kissed the ground in front of him-ajfj. The we asked him-ajfj about what we wanted. He‑ajfj answered. We brought the wealth to him-ajfj, and Al-Qaim-ajfj instructed us that we should not bring anything to Surmanray after it, for he-ajfj would nominate a man for us at Baghdad we can carry they wealth to him, and the letters would be emerging from him-ajfj’. He (the narrator) said, ‘We left from his-ajfj presence and he-ajfj handed to Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al-Qummi Al-Himeyri, something from the embalmment and the shroud and said to him: ‘May Allah-azwj Ma
