7. Muĥammad ibn Ja’far Al-Qurashi Al-Razzāz narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain (ibn Abil Khaťťāb), from ‘Ali ibn Asbāť, from Ismā’ǐl ibn Abǐ Ziyād, from some of his scholars, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) was asked, “Who stopped Fir’awn from killing Mūsā  which is referred to in this verse, ‘Fir’awn said, ‘Let me kill Mūsā’ (40:26)?” Imam  replied, “(Fir’awn could not kill Mūsā ) because he was conceived legitimately. Verily the prophets and the Decisive Proofs are only killed by those who are conceived illegitimately and by the children of adulteresses.” The above Ĥadǐth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father and all of my scholars, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Abǐ Khalaf, from Muĥammad ibn Ĥusain, from ‘Ali ibn Asbāť, from Ismā’ǐl ibn Abǐ Ziyād, from some of his scholars, from Abǐ ‘Abdillāh . My father narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Ibrāhǐm ibn Hāshim, from Ibn Abǐ ‘Umayr, from some of his companions, from Ibn Muskān, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) said: The killer of Ĥusain ibn ‘Ali  was conceived illegitimately.
