حدثنا الحسن بن محمد بن سعيد الهاشمي بالكوفة، قال: حدثنا فرات بن إبراهيم بن فرات الكوفي، قال حدثنا محمد بن علي بن معمر، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن علي الرملي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن موسى، قال: حدثنا يعقوب بن إسحاق المروزي، قال: حدثنا عمرو بن منصور، قال: حدثنا إسماعيل بن أبان، عن يحيى بن كثير، عن أبيه، عن أبي هارون العبدي، قال: سألت جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري عن معنى قول النبي صلى الله عليه وآله لعلي: عليه السلام " أنت مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى إلا أنه لا نبي بعدي " قال: استخلفه بذلك والله على أمته في حياته وبعد وفاته وفرض عليهم طاعته فمن لم يشهد له بعد هذا القول بالخلافة فهو من الظالمين.
1.	We were told by Hasan bin Muhammed bin Sa’eed al-Hashimi in Kufa, that he said: We were told by Furat bin Ibrahim bin Furat al-Kufi, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Ali bin Mu’ammar, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Ali al-Ramli, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Musa, that he said: We were told by Ya’qoub bin Ishaq al-Maruzi, that he said: We were told by Amru bin Mansur, that he said: We were told by Isma’il bin Aban, from Yahya bin Kathir, from his father, from Abu Harun al-‘Abdi, that he said: I asked Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari about the meaning of the saying of the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, to Ali, peace be upon him: You are to me in the same position as Harun to Musa, except that there is no Prophet after me. He said: He declared him as a Successor by that, by Allah, over his nation during his life and after his demise, and he obligated upon them his obedience. Hence, the one who does not testify for him, after this saying, Successorship, then he is among the wrongdoers.
