حَنَانٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا كَانَ وُلْدُ يَعْقُوبَ أَنْبِيَاءَ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَسْبَاطَ أَوْلَادِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُفَارِقُوا الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا سُعَدَاءَ تَابُوا وَ تَذَكَّرُوا مَا صَنَعُوا وَ إِنَّ الشَّيْخَيْنِ فَارَقَا الدُّنْيَا وَ لَمْ يَتُوبَا وَ لَمْ يَتَذَكَّرَا مَا صَنَعَا بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَعَلَيْهِمَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ.
343. Hanaan, from his father, who has said: Abu Ja’far  said, when I said to him , ‘What were the children of Yaqoub , Prophets ?’ He  said: ‘No, but they were the grandchildren of the children of the Prophets , and they did not depart from the world except as happy, repentant, and remembered what they had done, and the two old men (Abu Bakr and Umar – Shaykhayn) departed from the world, and they never remembered what they had done with Amir-ul-Momineen , so upon these two be the Curses of Allah (azwj), and the Angels, and the people altogether’.
