 ١٦ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ وَالْعَلاءِ بْنِ رِزْقِ الله عَنْ بَدْرٍ غُلامِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ وَرَدْتُ الْجَبَلَ وَأَنَا لا أَقُولُ بِالامَامَةِ أُحِبُّهُمْ جُمْلَةً إِلَى أَنْ مَاتَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الله فَأَوْصَى فِي عِلَّتِهِ أَنْ يُدْفَعَ الشِّهْرِيُّ السَّمَنْدُ وَسَيْفُهُ وَمِنْطَقَتُهُ إِلَى مَوْلاهُ فَخِفْتُ إِنْ أَنَا لَمْ أَدْفَعِ الشِّهْرِيَّ إِلَى إِذْكُوتَكِينَ نَالَنِي مِنْهُ اسْتِخْفَافٌ فَقَوَّمْتُ الدَّابَّةَ وَالسَّيْفَ وَالْمِنْطَقَةَ بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ فِي نَفْسِي وَلَمْ أُطْلِعْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَداً فَإِذَا الْكِتَابُ قَدْ وَرَدَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الْعِرَاقِ وَجِّهِ السَّبْعَ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ الَّتِي لَنَا قِبَلَكَ مِنْ ثَمَنِ الشِّهْرِيِّ وَالسَّيْفِ وَالْمِنْطَقَةِ.
 16. Ali has narrated from a number of our people from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan and al-‘Ala’ ibn Rizq Allah from Badr Ghulam Ahmad ibn al-Hassan who has said the following. “I began to live in al-Jabal (a town between Baghdad and Azarbayjan) and I did not believe in Imam (the Divine authority of al-Mahddi  but I loved them (descendants of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali . When Yazid ibn ‘Abdallah (a representative of al-Mahdi  died he said in his will that I must give his Shahri Samand (famous Persian) horse, sword and belt to his master (al-Mahdi . I was afraid that if I would not give the horse to Edhkutakin (a Turkish official of ‘Abbassid rulers) he will harm me. I by myself then evaluated the items for a seven hundred Dinars and no one knew about it. A letter then came from Iraq that said, “Send us our seven hundred Dinars that are with you for the Shahri (famous Persian horse), the sword and the belt.”
