Al-Kāfi - The Book about people with Divine Authority Chapter: Tacit and Explicit Testimony as proof of abu al-Hassan Musa’s (a.s.) Divine Authority over the people after abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) َّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله الْقَلاءِ عَنِ الْ٠ُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُ٠َرَ قَالَ ذَكَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠ٌ فَقَالَ هَذَا الْ٠َوْلُودُ الَّذِي لَ٠ْ يُولَدْ فِينَا ٠ُ بَرَكَةً عَلَى شِيعَتِنَا ٠َّ قَالَ لِي لا تَجْفُوا إِسْ٠8.

Ahmad ibn Mihran has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from ‘Abdallah al-Qalla’ from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following. “Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) spoke of abu al-Hassan (a.s.) and he was a young boy in those days.

He said, “This is a child that no other child born to us has been of such a greater blessing to our followers than him.” The Imam (a.s.) then said to me, “Do not be harsh with Isma‘il.” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/334)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
