مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) كَانَ خَيْراً لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَ أَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ آتُوا الزَّكاةَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ طَاعَةُ الْإِمَامِ وَ طَلَبُوا الْقِتَالَ فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقِتَالُ مَعَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) قالُوا رَبَّنا لِمَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيْنَا الْقِتالَ لَوْ لا أَخَّرْتَنا إِلى أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ نُجِبْ دَعْوَتَكَ وَ نَتَّبِعِ الرُّسُلَ أَرَادُوا تَأْخِيرَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام).
506. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al-Al-Sabbaah Bin Abdul Hameed, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far  has said: ‘By Allah (azwj), that which Al-Hassan Bin Ali  did was better for this community from all that upon which the sun rises. By Allah (azwj), this Verse had been Revealed: “[4:77] Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, but rather, it is the obedience to the Imam , and they sought to fight, but when fighting is prescribed for them alongside Al-Husayn  they say: Our Lord! why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? Wherefore didst Thou not grant us a delay to a near end?” we would have responded to Your (azwj) Call and we would have followed the Messengers . They intended to delay that to Al-Qaim ’.
