١٢ - حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد ابن جرير الطبري، قال: حدثنا الحسن بن محمد، قال: حدثني محمد بن عبد الرحمن المخزومي، قال: حدثني محمد بن أبي يعفور، عن موسى بن أبي أيوب التميمي، عن موسى بن المغيرة، عن الضحاك بن مزاحم، قال: ذكر علي (عليه السلام) عند ابن عباس بعد وفاته، فقال: وا أسفاه على أبي الحسن، مضى والله ما غير ولا بدل ولا قصر ولا جمع ولا منع ولا آثرا إلا الله، والله لقد كانت الدنيا أهون عليه من شسع نعله، ليث في الوغى، بحر في المجالس، حكيم في الحكماء، هيهات قد مضى إلى الدرجات  العلى (١).
Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq  narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Jarir al-Tabari narrated to us. He said: Al-Hasan b. Muhammad narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. `Abd al-Rahman al-Makhzumi narrated to me. He said: Muhammad b. Abi Ya`fur narrated to me from Musa b. Abi Ayyub al-Tamimi from Musa b. al-Mughira from al-Dahhak b. Mazahim. He said: `Ali  was mentioned in the presence of Ibn `Abbas after his death, so he said: How tragic is what happened to Abi’l Hasan! He passed away, and by Allah, he did not change anything, nor did he exchange anything, nor did he shorten anything, nor did he join anything, nor did he prevent anything, nor did he affect anything except for the sake of Allah. By Allah, this world was less significant to him than the sole of his sandal. He was a lion in battle, an ocean in gatherings, and a sage among the sages. Alas, he has passed onto the exalted ranks.
