٢٢-١٣ حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن علي الوشاء، عن أبي الحسن الرضا، عن أبيه، عن آبائه، عن علي عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لما اسري بي إلى السماء رأيت رحما متعلقة بالعرش تشكو رحما إلى ربها، فقلت لها: كم بينك وبينها من أب؟ فقالت: نلتقي في أربعين أبا
22-13 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Abdullah ibn Ja’far al-Homayry quoted Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Vasha, on the authority of Abil Hassan Al-Ridha (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “When I was taken up for the Ascension, I saw that a womb was hanging from God’s Throne and was complaining to God about another womb. I asked it, ‘How much is the distance between you and him?’ The womb replied, ‘We are related to each other in the fortieth father in our lineage.’”
