 ١٨ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلالٍ عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْقَيْسِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي دُرُسْتُ بْنُ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الاوَّلَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَحْجُوجاً بِأَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ لا وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ مُسْتَوْدَعاً لِلْوَصَايَا فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ قُلْتُ فَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَصَايَا عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَحْجُوجٌ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ مَحْجُوجاً بِهِ مَا دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَصِيَّةَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَمَا كَانَ حَالُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ أَقَرَّ بِالنَّبِيِّ وَبِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ وَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَصَايَا وَمَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ.
 18. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Sa‘d ibn ‘Abdallah from a group of our people from Ahmad ibn Hilal from ’Umayya ibn Ali al-Qaysi who has said that narrated to me Durust ibn Abi Mansur who has said the following: “I once asked Abu al-Hassan , ‘Did the Messenger of Allah receive any authority from Abu Talib ?” The Imam  said, “No, but Abu Talib was the trustee of certain (items) of will that he delivered to the Holy Prophet ﷺ.’ I then asked, ‘So Abu Talib delivered the wills to the Holy Prophet because of his authority over him?’ The Imam  said, “If so, he did not have to deliver the wills to him (The Holy Prophet). I then asked, ‘What was the condition of Abu Talib?’ The Imam  replied, ‘He acknowledged the Holy Prophet ﷺ and his divine message, and delivered him the (items of) will and died on that day.’”
