حدثنا أحمد بن زياد بن جعفر الهمداني، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن علي بن معبد، عن الحسين بن خالد، قال: سألت أبا الحسن علي بن موسى الرضا عليهم السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: " إنا عرضنا الأمانة على السماوات والأرض والجبال فأبين أن يحملنها - الآية - " فقال: الأمانة: الولاية، من ادعاها بغير حق كفر.
3.	We were told by Ahmad bin Ziyad bin Ja’far al-Hamdani, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, from his father, from Ali bin Ma’bad, from Hussain bin Khalid, that he said: I asked Abu’l-Hasan, Ali bin Musa al-Rida, peace be upon them both, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Indeed, We presented the trust upon the Heavens, the earth and the mountains, but they refused to carry it and feared it, and it was carried by the human being. He is, indeed, wrong-doing, ignorant.» (33:72) So he said: The trust is the Divine Authority; he who proclaims it without right, has disbelieved.
