حدثنا أبو القاسم علي بن أحمد بن موسى بن عمران الدقاق قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، قال: حدثنا سهل بن زياد الآدمي، عن عبد العظيم بن عبد الله الحسني، قال: حدثني سيدي علي بن محمد بن علي الرضا، عن أبيه، عن آبائه، عن الحسن بن علي عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إن أبا بكر منى بمنزلة السمع وإن عمر منى بمنزلة البصر، وإن عثمان مني بمنزلة الفؤاد. قال: فلما كان من الغد دخلت إليه وعنده أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام وأبو بكر وعمر وعثمان، فقلت له: يا أبه سمعتك تقول في أصحابك هؤلاء قولا فما هو؟ فقال عليه السلام: نعم ثم أشار بيده إليهم فقال: هم السمع و البصر والفؤاد وسيسألون عن ولاية وصيي هذا وأشار إلى علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام، ثم قال: إن الله عز وجل يقول: " إن السمع والبصر والفؤاد كل أولئك كان عنه مسؤولا " ثم قال صلى الله عليه وآله: وعزة ربي إن جميع أمتي لموقوفون يوم القيامة ومسؤولون عن ولايته وذلك قول الله عز وجل: " وقفوهم إنهم مسؤولون ". 23. We were told by Abu’l-Qasem, Ali bin Ahmad bin Musa bin Imran al-Daqqaq, that he said: We were told by Muuhammed bin Abi Abdillah al-Kufi, that he said: We were told by Sahl bin Ziyad al-Adami, from Abdul-Adheem bin Abdullah al-Hasani, that he said: I was told by my Master, Ali bin Muhammed bin Ali al-Rida, from his father, from his fathers, from Hasan bin Ali, peace be upon them, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Indeed, Abu Bakr is to me by the position of the hearing, and indeed, Umar is to me by the position of the vision, and indeed, Uthman is to me by the position of the heart. He said: When the other day came, I entered into his place, and with him was the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, as well as Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, and I said to him: O father, I heard you say a saying about these companions of yours. What is it? He, peace be upon him, said: Yes. He then pointed with his hand towards them and said: They are the hearing, the vision and the heart, and they shall be asked about the Divine Authority of this Successor of mine. He then pointed towards Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him, and then said: Indeed, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, says: «Indeed, the hearing, the vision and the heart, all of those are to be asked about him.» (17:36) He, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, then said: My the Might of my Lord, indeed, all of my nation are to stand on the Day of Resurrection and are to be asked about his Divine Authority, and that is the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And stop them. Indeed, they are to be asked.» (37:24)

22. We were told by Abu Abdillah, Hussain bin Ibrahim bim Ahmad bin Hashim al-Mukattab, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Ja’far al-Asadi, Abu’l-Hussain al-Kufi, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Isma’eel al-Barmaki, that he said: We were told by Ja’far bin Abdullah al-Maruzi, that he said: We were told by my father, from Isma’eel bin Fadl al-Hashimi, from his father, from Sa’eed bin Jubair, from Ibn Abbas, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: When the Eyes are to oppress the Eye, the killing of the Eye will be at the hands of the fourth among the Eyes. If that is such, the abandoner of it becomes deserving of the curse of Allah, the Angels and the people, all of them. It was then said to him: O Messenger of Allah, what is the Eye and the Eyes? He said: As for the Eye, it is my brother, Ali bin Abi Talib, and as for the Eyes, they are his enemies, among whom the fourth is his killer, out of oppression and enmity.
