و ما كان فيه عن الفضيل بن يسار فقد رويته عن محمّد بن موسى بن المتوكّل- رضي اللّه عنه- عن عليّ بن الحسين السعدآباديّ، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد اللّه البرقيّ، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن عمر بن اذينة، عن الفضيل بن يسار و هو كوفيّ مولى لبني نهد، انتقل من الكوفة إلى البصرة، و كان أبو جعفر عليه السّلام إذا رآه قال: "بَشِّرِ الْمُخْبِتِينَ" و ذكر ربعيّ بن عبد اللّه عن غاسل الفضيل بن يسار أنّه قال: إنّي لأغسّل الفضيل و إنّ يده لتسبقني إلى عورته، قال: فخبّرت بذلك أبا عبد اللّه عليه السّلام فقال: رحم اللّه الفضيل ابن يسار هو منّا أهل البيت‌.

Everything in this book that is narrated from Al-Fudayl ibn Yasar has been transmitted by me from Muhammad ibn Musa ibn Al-Mutawakkil - may Allah (swt) be pleased with him - from Ali ibn Al-Husayn Al-Sadabadi, from Ahmad ibn Abi Abdullah Al-Barqi, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Umar ibn Udhaynah, from Al-Fudayl ibn Yasar. He was a Kufan and a freed servant (mawla) of Banu Nahd. He moved from Kufa to Basra. Whenever Imam Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) saw him, he would say: "Give glad tidings to the humble ones." Rabi ibn Abdullah narrated from the person who washed the body of Al-Fudayl ibn Yasar that he said: "As I was washing Al-Fudayl, his hand would move ahead of me to cover his private parts." When this was reported to Imam Abu Abdullah (as), he said: "May Allah (swt) have mercy on Al-Fudayl ibn Yasar. He is one of us, the Ahl Al-Bayt."

Ḥadīth 71

Everything in this book that is narrated from Bukayr ibn A'yun has been transmitted by me from my father - may Allah {SWT} be pleased with him - from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad ibn Abi 'Umayr, from Bukayr ibn A'yun. He was a Kufan, known by the kunya Abu Al-Juhm, and was a freed servant (mawla) of Banu Shayban. When Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq {a.s} was informed of the death of Bukayr ibn A'yun, he said: "By Allah {SWT}, indeed Allah {SWT}, the Almighty and Glorious, has placed him between His Messenger and the Commander of the Faithful, peace and blessings be upon them both."
