Divine Authority over the people after Amir al-Mu’minin Ali 3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الاجْلَحُ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي يَزِيدَ وَزَيْدٌ الْيَمَامِيُّ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام)
حِينَ سَارَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ اسْتَوْدَعَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ كُتُبَهُ وَالْوَصِيَّةَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ الْحَسَنُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) دَفَعَتْهَا إِلَيْهِ.
3. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf ibn ‘Amayra from Abu Bakr al-Hadrami who has said that al-Ajlah, Salamah ibn Kuhayl, Dawud ibn Abu Yazid and Zayd al-Yamami all narrated from Shahr ibn Hawshab who has said the following:
“When Ali was about to leave for Kufa he left in Umm Salama’s trust his books and his will. When al-Hassan returned to Medina she delivered all of them to him.”
