Hadith 35

(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ – Ahmad Bin Al Husayn Bin Abdullah, from Al Husayn Bin Zayd Bi Abdullah Al Baghdadi, from Ali Bin Sinan Al Mowsily, from his father who said, ‘When our Master-asws Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-Askari-asws passed away, a delegation from Qum and the mountain was delegated with the wealth which had been carried upon the norm, and there was no news with them of his-asws having passed away. When they arrived to Surmanray, they asked about our Master-asws Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws. It was said to them, ‘He-asws is lost (to us)’. They said, ‘So who is his-asws inheritor? ’ They said, ‘His-asws brother, Ja’far Bin Ali (the liar)’. They asked about him. It was said to them, ‘He has gone out for a picnic and sailing a boat in the river Tigris, drinking, and with him are the singers. He (the narrator) said, ‘They consulted and said, ‘These aren’t attributes of the Imam-asws! ’ And they said to each other, ‘Let us go to return this wealth back to their owners’. Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al-Himeyri Al-Qummi said, ‘Pause with us until this man leaves and we can investigate the news of his affair upon the correctness’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘When he left, they entered to see him (Ja’far the liar). They greeted unto him and said, ‘O our chief! We are a group from the people of Qum, and with us is a group from the Shias and others, and we were carrying the wealth to out Master Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws’. He said, ‘And where is it? ’ They said, ‘With us’. He said, ‘Carry it to me! ’ They said, ‘There is odd news for this wealth’. He said, ‘And what is it? ’
They said, ‘This wealth is a collection, and there happens to be in it the Dinar and the two Dinars from the general Shias. Then we made it to be in a bag and concurred upon it (amount). And it has been so that whenever we had arrived with the wealth, our Master-asws Abu Muhammad-asws would say regarding the total wealth: ‘Such and Such Dinar is from so and so, and such and such is from so and so’, to the extent that he-asws would come upon the names of the people, all of them, and he-asws would say what inscription there would be upon the seals’. Ja’far said to them, ‘You are lying! You are saying upon my brother-asws what he-asws did not do. This is knowledge of the hidden matters! ’’
He (the narrator) said, ‘When the group heard the talk of Ja’far, they went on to look at each other. He said to them, ‘Bring this wealth to me! ’ They said, ‘We are a group of employed representatives to take care of the wealth, and we will not submit the wealth except with the signs which we have been recognising from our Master Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws. So, if you were the Imam-asws, then prove it to us, or else we shall return it to its owners, viewing their views regarding these’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Ja’far entered to see the caliph, and he was at Surmanray, and sought assistance against them. When they presented, the caliph said, ‘Carry this wealth to Ja’far! ’ They said, ‘May Allah-azwj Keep commander of the faithfu
