Al-Kāfi - The Book about people with Divine Authority Chapter: Something said about a man and it is not in him but is found in his sons or grand sons than it is as if it is in him َاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ حَ٠َّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِي٠َانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) قَالَ إِذَا قُلْنَا فِي رَجُلٍ قَوْلاً فَلَ٠ْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ وَكَانَ فِي وَلَدِهِ أَوْ وَلَدِ وَلَدِهِ فَلا تُنْكِرُوا ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الله تَعَالَى يَفْعَلُ ٠2.

Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Ibrahim ibn ‘Umar al-Yamani from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. “If we would say something about a man and it would not be found in him but it would be found in his sons or his grandsons you must not reject it.

It is because Allah does what he wants.” صحيح - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi (1/61)) جهول كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (6/238))
