قَالَ وَ قَالَ لِي عَبَّادٌ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَدِمَتْ أُمُّ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ ع مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ اسْمُهَا حَدِيثُ حِينَ اتَّصَلَ بِهَا الْخَبَرُ إِلَى سُرَّ مَنْ رَأَى فَكَانَتْ لَهَا أَقَاصِيصُ يَطُولُ شَرْحُهَا مَعَ أَخِيهِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مُطَالَبَتُهُ إِيَّاهَا بِمِيرَاثِهِ وَ سِعَايَتُهُ بِهَا إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ كَشْفُهُ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِسَتْرِهِ فَادَّعَتْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ صَقِيلُ أَنَّهَا حَامِلٌ فَحُمِلَتْ إِلَى دَارِ الْمُعْتَمِدِ فَجَعَلَ نِسَاءُ الْمُعْتَمِدِ وَ خَدَمُهُ وَ نِسَاءُ الْمُوَفَّقِ وَ خَدَمُهُ وَ نِسَاءُ الْقَاضِي ابْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ يَتَعَاهَدْنَ أَمْرَهَا فِي كُلِّ وَقْتٍ وَ يُرَاعُونَ إِلَى أَنْ دَهَمَهُمْ أَمْرُ الصِّغَارِ وَ مَوْتُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَاقَانَ بَغْتَةً وَ خُرُوجُهُمْ مِنْ سُرَّ مَنْ رَأَى وَ أَمْرُ صَاحِبِ الزِّنْجِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ وَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ فَشَغَلَهُمْ ذَلِكَ عَنْهَا.
And Ibne Ubbad narrated the following tradition to me: “The mother of Imam Hasan Askari who was named Hadith, arrived from Medina and got the news of Imam’s demise when she had reached Surra Man Raa. She was also told about the demands of Imam Askari’s brother Ja’far regarding inheritance and the fact that he had gone to the ruler and revealed to him all those things that were supposed to be kept confidential. Mutamid arrested Saqeel, the Imam’s slave wife and detained her in his palace. Saqeel claimed that she was pregnant. Mutamid appointed his women, female slaves and the wife of Qadi Shurai to keep an eye on Saqeel.
But this was soon followed by events like the death of Ubaidullah bin Yahya Khaqan, revolt in Surra Man Raa and the rule of Sahib Zanj in Basra, due to which their attention was diverted away from Saqeel.”
