Narrated to us Muhammad bin Ziyad bin Ja’far Hamdani 
: Narrated to me Ali bin Ibrahim ibn Hashim from his father from Muhammad bin Abi Umair from Ghiyath bin Ibrahim from as-Sadiq Ja’far ibn Muhammad from his father Muhammad bin Ali from his father Ali bin Husain from his father Husain bin Ali that Amirul Momineen, Ali ibn Abi Talib was asked about the statement the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “I leave among you two heavy things, the Book of Allah and my progeny.” That who constitute the ‘progeny’? He replied: “I and Hasan and Husain and nine Imams from the progeny of Husain, the ninth of whom shall be their Mahdi and Qaim. They will not separate from the Quran and it will not separate from them till they come to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at his Pool.”
