His -asws brother Abdullah claimed the Imamate, and he was eldest of the (living) children of Ja’far -asws at that time, and he is well known as ‘Al-Aftah’. Musa -asws instructed with gathering a lot of firewood in the middle of his -asws house and sent a message to Abdullah asking him to come to him -asws . When he came to be in his -asws presence, there was a group from the Imamite faces with Musa -asws .
When his -asws brother Abdullah sat to him -asws , Musa -asws instructed to make the fire to be in that firewood, all of it. So all of it burned down, and the people did not know the reason regarding it, until all the firewood became ember. Then Musa -asws stood up and sat with his clothes in the middle of the fire and went on to narrate to the people for a while. Then he -asws stood, shook his -asws clothes, and returned to the seat.
He -asws said to his -asws brother Abdullah: ‘If you are claiming that you are the (real) Imam -asws after your father -asws , then sit in that seat! (in the embers). They said, ‘We saw Abdullah, his colour had changed. He stood up dragging his cloak until he went out from the house of Musa -asws ’’.
