[7/163] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Qulawayh from Sa`d from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa and Muhammad b. Abdallah al-Mismai from Ali b. Asbat from Muhammad b. Abdallah b. Zurara from his father (Abdallah b. Zurara) who said: Zurara sent Ubayd his son to ask about the affair [Imama] of Abi al-Hasan عÙÙ٠اÙسÙا٠but death came to him (Zurara) before his son Ubayd could come back to him [with the answer].
So he (Zurara) took a Mushaf [just before he died] and put it above his head and said: the Imam after Ja`far b. Muhammad is the one whose name is between the two covers in the generality of the Qur`an, appointed in a clear designation by those whose obedience has been made obligatory by Allah upon His creation â and I am a believer in him.
Abu al-Hasan عÙÙ٠اÙسÙا٠â the first â was later informed of this so he said: by Allah â Zurara was an emigrant (Muhajir) to Allah the Exalted. عتبر - Shaykh Asif al-Mohseni (MuÊ¿jam al-AḥÄdÄ«th al-MuÊ¿tabara)
