و كل ما كان فيه جاء نفر من اليهود إلى رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه و آله فسألوه عن مسائل و كان فيما سألوه أخبرنا يا محمّد لأيّ علّة توضّأ هذه الجوارح الأربع؟ و ما أشبه ذلك من مسائلهم فقد رويته عن عليّ بن أحمد بن عبد اللّه البرقيّ- رضي اللّه عنه- عن أبيه، عن جدّه أحمد بن أبي عبد اللّه، عن أبيه، عن أبي الحسن عليّ بن الحسين البرقيّ عن عبد اللّه بن جبلة، عن معاوية بن عمّار، عن الحسن بن عبد اللّه، عن آبائه عن جدّه الحسن بن عليّ بن أبي طالب عليهما السّلام.
Everything in this book that narrates the incident where a group of Jews came to the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and asked him various questions - including when they asked: "O' Muhammad, for what reason do you perform ablution on these four limbs?" and similar questions - has been transmitted by me from Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdullah Al-Barqi - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from his father, from his grandfather Ahmad ibn Abi Abdullah, from his father, from Abu Al-Hasan Ali ibn Al-Husayn Al-Barqi, from Abdullah ibn Jabala, from Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar, from Al-Hasan ibn Abdullah, from his forefathers, from his grandfather Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon them.
