 5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Hamawayh al-Suwaydawiy from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar who has said the following. “At the time abu Muhammad  passed away I had doubts. Large quantities of commodities (of religious dues) were accumulated with my father. He loaded them in a boat and himself also embarked. I was with him to say farewell to him. He began to feel severe fever and asked me to take him back home because he said, “It is death.” He then said to me, “Be pious before Allah about these commodities.” In his will he appointed me over see the commodities. He then died. I then said to my self, “My father was not such a person to make a will for an incorrect cause. I must take these commodities to Iraq and rent an accommodation on the bank of the river and I will not tell anyone of anything with me. If the matter will become clear to me as it was at the time of abu Muhammad  I will deal accordingly otherwise throw them into the river.” I then went to Iraq, rented a place on the bank of the river and stayed there for a several days. Then I received a letter with a messenger. The letter said, “O Muhammad, there is so and so thing inside so and so thing with you. It explained to me every thing in details even about the things of which I hand no knowledge. I then submitted everything to the messenger and remained there for several more days. No one would ask who I was. I became depressed and sad. Then a letter came that said, “We have appointed you in the place of your father. Therefore give thanks to Allah.”
