 ٨ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لِلامَامِ عَشْرُ عَلامَاتٍ يُولَدُ مُطَهَّراً مَخْتُوناً وَإِذَا وَقَعَ عَلَى الارْضِ وَقَعَ عَلَى رَاحَتِهِ رَافِعاً صَوْتَهُ بِالشَّهَادَتَيْنِ وَلا يُجْنِبُ وَتَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ وَلا يَتَثَاءَبُ وَلا يَتَمَطَّى وَيَرَى مِنْ خَلْفِهِ كَمَا يَرَى مِنْ أَمَامِهِ وَنَجْوُهُ كَرَائِحَةِ الْمِسْكِ وَالارْضُ مُوَكَّلَةٌ بِسَتْرِهِ وَابْتِلاعِهِ وَإِذَا لَبِسَ دِرْعَ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَفْقاً وَإِذَا لَبِسَهَا غَيْرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ طَوِيلِهِمْ وَقَصِيرِهِمْ زَادَتْ عَلَيْهِ شِبْراً وَهُوَ مُحَدَّثٌ إِلَى أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ أَيَّامُهُ.
 8. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from some of our people from ibn abu ‘umayr from Hariz from Zurara from abu Ja‘far  who has said the following. “Imam has ten signs. He is born clean and circumcised. When falls on the earth his palms reach the ground first while he raises his head to the sky and loudly says the two testimonies. He does not experience wit dream. His eyes sleep but not his heart. He does not yawn and stretCh He sees behind just as he sees in front. His excretion would smell like musk. The earth is made to conceal and devour it. When he would dress up with coat of arms of the Messenger of Allah it would perfectly fit him. However, when other people, taller or shorter would try it would be taller on them by a hand stretch of thump and pinkeye. He is a Muhaddath (the one spoken to by angels) up to the time of his passing away.”
