٧ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ حَضَرْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلَ (ع) وَ هَارُونُ الْخَلِيفَةُ وَ عِيسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ قَدْ جَاءُوا إِلَى قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ (ص) فَقَالَ هَارُونُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (ع) تَقَدَّمْ فَأَبَى فَتَقَدَّمَ هَارُونُ فَسَلَّمَ وَ قَامَ نَاحِيَةً فَقَالَ عِيسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (ع) تَقَدَّمْ فَأَبَى- فَتَقَدَّمَ عِيسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَسَلَّمَ وَ وَقَفَ مَعَ هَارُونَ فَقَالَ جَعْفَرٌ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (ع) تَقَدَّمْ فَأَبَى فَتَقَدَّمَ جَعْفَرٌ فَسَلَّمَ وَ وَقَفَ مَعَ هَارُونَ وَ تَقَدَّمَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (ع) فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَتِ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاكَ وَ اجْتَبَاكَ وَ هَدَاكَ وَ هَدَى بِكَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ هَارُونُ لِعِيسَى سَمِعْتَ مَا قَالَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ هَارُونُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ أَبُوهُ حَقّاً
7. Muĥammad ibn Ya’qūb Al-Kulayni narrated to me from a group of our companions, from Sahl ibn Ziyād, from ‘Ali ibn Ĥassān, from one of our companions, who said: I saw Abal Ĥasan the First (Imam Kāżim ), Hārūn the (Abbasid) caliph, ‘Isā ibn Ja’far, and Ja’far ibn Yaĥyā all in Madǐnah next to the grave of the Prophet ﷺ. Hārūn said to Imam Kāżim , “Go ahead (and say Salām to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ).” However, Imam  refused. So Hārūn went ahead and said Salām to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and then moved aside. Then ‘Isā ibn Ja’far asked Imam  to go ahead and say Salām to the Prophet ﷺ. However, Imam  refused. So ‘Isā moved forward and said Salām to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and then moved aside and stood with Hārūn. Then Ja’far ibn Yaĥyā asked Imam  to go ahead and say Salām to the Prophet ﷺ. However, Imam  refused. So Ja’far moved forward and said Salām to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and then he also moved aside and stood with Hārūn. Then Abul Ĥasan  moved forward and said:                Salam to you, O father! I ask Allāh who selected you, chose you, guided you, and guided (the creation) through you, to send His blessing on you. So Hārūn said to ‘Isā, “Did you hear what he said?” “Yes,” ‘Isā replied. “I testify that he (the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ) is truly his father,” Hārūn said.
