13 - نَصٌّ آخَرُ: حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَني سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنِ الحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَرْحُومٍ قالَ: خَرَجْتُ مِنَ البَصْرَةِ اُرِيدُ المَدِينَةَ، فَلَمَّا صِرْتُ في بَعْض الطَرِيقِ لَقِيتُ أَبَا إِبْراهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ وَهُوَ يُذْهَبُ بِهِ إِلى البَصْرَةِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ، فَدَفَعَ إِلَىَّ كُتُباً وَأَمَرَنِي أَن اُوصِلَها إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، فَقُلْتُ: إلى مَنْ أَدْفَعُها جُعِلْتُ فِداكَ؟ قالَ: إِلَى ابْنِي عَلِيِّ، فَإِنَّهُ وَصِيِّي وَالقَيِّمُ بِأَمْرِي وَخَيْرُ بَنِيِّ.
4-13 In another tradition it is narrated that (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Marhoom, “I left Basra to go towards Medina. I met Aba Ibrahim (Imam al-Kadhim) (s) who was being taken to Basra. He sent someone to me and I went to him. Then Imam Al-Kadhim (s) gave me several books and ordered me to take them to Medina. I asked him, ‘May I be your ransom! Who should I give these books to?’ He (s) replied, ’Give them to my son Ali (Al-Ridha (s)). He is my Testamentary Trustee and in charge of my affairs. He is my best son.’”
