A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Isma’il ibn Mehran from Durust ibn abu Mansur from ‘Isa ibn Bashir from abu Hamza who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘When my father Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) was about to leave this world he held me against his chest and said, “My son, I recommend you with the same recommendation with which he (my father) advised me at the time that he was about to leave this world and with the recommendation that his father had made to him, O my son, hold to the truth with patience even if it is very bitter.”’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (8/137))
