Hadith 77

(The book) ‘Al Ghayba’ of the Sheikh Al Tusi – Muhammad Al Himeyri, from his father, from Ali Bin Suleyman Bin Rusheyd, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Khazzaz who said, ‘
‘Ali Bin Abu Hamza entered to see Abu Al Hassan Al-Reza-asws. He said to him-asws, ‘Are you-asws an Imam-asws? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’. He said to him-asws, ‘I heard your-asws grandfather Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws saying: ‘The Imam-asws cannot be except and there would be posterity for him-asws’! ’
He-asws said: ‘Are you forgetting, O Sheikh, or are you pretending to forget? Ja’far-asws hadn’t said it like this. But rather, Ja’far-asws said: ‘The Imam-asws cannot be except and there would be a posterity for him-asws, except the Imam-ajfj whom Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws would be coming out to, for there will be no posterity for him-ajfj’. He said to him-asws, ‘You-asws speak the truth, may I be sacrificed for you-asws! Like this I had heard from your-asws grandfather-asws! ’’[82]
