Divine Authority over the people abu Muhammad al-Hassan 5ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الاشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله قَالَ
خَرَجَ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) حِينَ قُتِلَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ لَعَنَهُ الله هَذَا جَزَاءُ مَنِ اجْتَرَأَ عَلَى الله فِي أَوْلِيَائِهِ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ يَقْتُلُنِي وَلَيْسَ لِي عَقِبٌ فَكَيْفَ رَأَى قُدْرَةَ الله فِيهِ وَوُلِدَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ سَمَّاهُ محمد فِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَخَمْسِينَ وَمِائَتَيْنِ.
Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ash‘ari from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abdallah who has said the following. “(A letter) came out from abu Muhammad when al-Zubayri, may Allah condemn him, was killed. It said,
“This is the recompense for those who disregard Allah in the matters of the people whom He has appointed as His authority over the cratures. He thought he could murder me and I do not have a son. How did he experience the power of Allah in the matter. A boy was born to him and he named him M.H.M.D. in the year two hundred fifty six. (Abbreviation stands for the name of the Imam because of the prohibition to pronounce it in a complete word.).”
