٢ وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْهُمَا جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِلَّهِ رَسُولًا نَبِيّاً تَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمُهُ فَقَشَرُوا جِلْدَةَ وَجْهِهِ وَ فَرْوَةَ رَأْسِهِ- فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَبُّكَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مَا صُنِعَ بِكَ وَ قَدْ أَمَرَنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ فَمُرْنِي بِمَا شِئْتَ فَقَالَ يَكُونُ لِي بِالْحُسَيْنِ أُسْوَةٌ
2. My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Aĥmad ibn Muĥammad ibn ‘Isā, Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, and Ya’qūb ibn Yazǐd, from Muĥammad ibn Sinān, from ‘Ammār ibn Marwān, from Samā’ah ibn Mihrān, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) said: The nation of one of Allāh’s prophets, who was (also) a messenger, overpowered him. They skinned his face and his scalp. A messenger (an angel) from the Lord of the Worlds came to him and said: Your Lord conveys His Salām to you and says, “I see what they are doing to you.” And He has ordered me to obey you. Therefore, order me to do that which you want (to this nation). He replied, “I follow the example of Ĥusain .”
