(41) Muhammad bin Hammam and Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin Jumhoor narrated from al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin Jumhoor from his father from Sulayman bin Suma’a that Abul Jarood had said: “I said to Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as): If the present imam of Ahlul Bayt leaves to the better world, with what will the next one be recognized?” He said: “With guidance, calmness, gravity, acknowledging his virtue by Muhammad’s progeny and that he will not be asked about anything in the east or in the west unless he will give the right answer.”
