Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from Ali ibn an-Nu‘man from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following. “Imam abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) said to me, “O abu Muhammad, Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has not given anything to the prophets that He has not given to (s.a.). The Imams (a.s.) further said, “Allah gave to (s.a.) all that He had given to the prophets.

With us is the book about which Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, “The books of Abraham and Moses.” I then said, “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, are they the tablets?” The Imams (a.s.) said, “Yes, they are the tablets.” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/20)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
