 ١ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَذَكَرُوا الاوْصِيَاءَ وَذَكَرْتُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَقَالَ لا وَالله يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا ذَاكَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَا هُوَ إِلا إِلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُنْزِلُ وَاحِداً بَعْدَ وَاحِدٍ.
 1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’who has said that ‘Umar ibn Aban has narrated to me from abu Basir who has said the following. “Once I was in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah . People mentioned the executors of the will and I mentioned Isma‘il. The Imam  said, “No, I swear by Allah. O abu Muhammad, it is not up to us. It is up to no one except Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. He makes them descend one after the other.”
