Hadith 54

to begin the Salat), and a boy came out, having a tanned face, cat-like hair, separate teeth. He-ajfj pulled the robe of Ja’far son of Ali-asws and said: ‘Stay back, O uncle, for I-ajfj am more rightful with the Salat upon my-ajfj father-asws! ’
Ja’far stepped back, and his face had reddened. The boy proceeded and prayed Salat upon him-asws, and he-asws was buried to a side of the grave of his-asws father-asws. Then he-ajfj said: ‘O Basry! Give the answers of the letters which are with you! ’ I handed these to him-ajfj. I said within myself, ‘These are two (evidence(s)). There still remains the money-belt’. Then I went out to Ja’far son of Ali-asws, and he was sighing. Hajiz Al-Washa said to him, ‘O my master! Who is the boy, for the argument to be standing upon him-ajfj? ’ He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I have not seen him-ajfj at all (before), nor do I know him-ajfj! ’
We were seated when a number (of people) from Qum arrived. They asked about Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws. They let them know of his-asws passing away. They said, ‘So whom should we console? ’ The people indicated to Ja’far son of Ali-asws. They greeted unto him and consoled him and congratulated him (as being the next Imam), and they said, ‘There are letters with us and wealth. Can you say who the letters are from and how much is the wealth? ’ He shook his clothes and say, ‘Do you want from us to know the hidden matters? ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘The servant came out and said, ‘With you all are letters of so and so, and so and so, and in the money-belt there are a thousand Dinars. Ten Dinars from these are obscure’. They handed the letters and the wealth, and they said, ‘The one who has sent you for that reason, he-ajfj is the Imam-ajfj’. So Ja’far son of Ali-asws entered to see Al-Mu’tamid (the caliph) and uncovered that to him. Al-Mu’tamid dispatched his servants and they captured Sayqal the maid, and they demanded her with the boy. She denied having any child and she claimed for a pregnancy being with heras, in order to cover up upon the state of the boy-ajfj. She-as was submitted to IbnAbu Al-Shawarib the judge, and the sudden death of Ubeydullah Bin Yahya Bin Khaqan surprised (pre-occupied) them, and the rebellion of master of Al-Zanj at Al-Basra. They were too pre-occupied with that from the maid (Lady Narjis-as), so she-as came out from their hands. And the Praise is for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds, there being no associates for Him-azwj’’. [67]
