(6) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed bin Oqda al-Kufi narrated from Yahya bin Zakariyya bin Shayban from Ali bin Sayf bin Omayra from Abban bin Uthman from Zurara from Imam Abu Ja’far al-Baqir عليه السلام from his fathers عليه السلام that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم had said: “From among my progeny there will be twelve inspired men.” A man called Abdullah bin Zayd, who was the foster-brother of Ali bin al-Husayn as-Sajjad عليه السلام, said to him (to Imam al-Baqir): “Glory be to Allah! Inspired!” as if he denied that. Imam Abu Ja’far al-Baqir عليه السلام said to him: “By Allah, the son of your mother -he meant Ali bin al-Husayn عليه السلام- was indeed inspired.”
