Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd from ‘Amr ibn abu al-Miqdam who has said the following: “I saw abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), on the day of ‘Arafah in al-Mawqaf (the station) saying at the top of his voice, ‘O people, the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, was an Imam. Then Ali ibn abu Talib was an Imam. Then al-Hassan was an Imam. Then al-Husayn was an Imam.

Then Ali ibn al-Husayn was an Imam. Then Muhammad ibn Ali was an Imam. Then, Hah.’ He then called three times toward his front, right, left and backside; twelve voices.’ I (the narrator) then went to Mina and asked Arab linguists about the meaning of the word “Hah.” They said, ‘It is an expression of banu so and so, meaning, “I am the one.

Ask me whatever you want.” I then asked other Arab linguists and they also said the same thing.” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/124))
