9 - حَدَّثَنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْرُورٍ رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا الحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عامِرٍ، عَنِ المُعَلَّى بنِ مُحَمَّدٍ البَصَرِيِّ قالَ حَدَّثَنا عَلِىُّ بْنُ رِباطٍ قالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ: إِنَّ عِنْدَنا رَجُلاً يَذكُرُ أَنَّ أَباكَ‏ a.sُ حَىٌّ وَأَنَّكَ تَعلَمُ مِن ذلِكَ ما تَعلَمُ، فَقالَ‏ a.sُ: سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ ماتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَلَمْ يَمُت مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ! بَلى‏ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ ماتَ وَقُسِمَت أَمْوالُهُ وَنُكِحتَ جَوارِيهِ.

8-9 Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Masroor - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Al-Hussein ibn Muhammad ibn A’mir quoted on the authority of al-Mo’alla ibn Muhammad al-Basri, on the authority of Ali ibn Ribat, “I told Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s) that I know a man who says that your father (s) is alive and that you know about this. Al-Ridha (s) said, Glory be to God! How could God’s Messenger (s) die and Musa ibn Ja’far (s) not die? Yes. By God, he (s) died, and his property was divided and his slave wives were married off to others.”
