٢٦٧- وقال أبو عبد الله بن بابويه:عقدت المجلس ولي دون العشرين سنة، فربما كان يحضر مجلسي أبو جعفر محمد بن علي الأسود، فإذا نظر إلى إسراعي في الأجوبة في الحلال والحرام يكثر التعجب لصغر سني ثم يقول لا عجب لأنك ولدت بدعاء الإمام عليه السلام.
H 267 - Abu Abdullah Ibn Babawayh [Shaykh Saduq] said: I started teaching when I was less than twenty years of age. Many a time, Abu Ja’far Muhammad Ibn Ali Aswad would attend my sessions and when he observed my promptness in answering questions regarding codes of practice (Fiqh), he would be much astonished by my young age and would say, “No wonder you were born through the Dua of the Imam .”
