2. Muhammad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from Ziyad ibn Suqah from al-Hakam ibn ‘Utaybah who has said the following. “One day I went to see Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.).” He said, “O Hakam do you know the verse (of the Holy Quran) from which Ali ibn abu Talib had learned who his assassin was and the extremely great matters of which he would speak to people? “ Al-Hakam has said that I said to myself in my mind, “ I have now a chance to learn of the knowledge of Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) with which I will learn of those extremely great matters.” The narrator has said that he replied the Imam (a.s.), “No, O son of the Messenger of Allah, I do not know.” He has said that he then said, “Please tell me, O son of the Messenger of Allah, which verse is it?” the Imam (a.s.) said, “It, I swear by Allah, is the words of Allah, Majestic is Whose mention, “We have not sent any messenger or prophet before you (or a Muhahhdath) one who hears from the angels. (22:52) Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) was a Muhaddath. At this point a man called ‘Abdallah ibn Zayd who was a brother of Ali from his mother’s side said, “Glory belongs to Allah. A Muhaddath1!” It seemed as if he did not believe it. Abu Ja‘far (a.s.) then turned to us and said, “Do not have any doubts, I swear by Allah, that the son of your mother after all did have knowledge of this fact.” The narrator has said that when the Imam (a.s.) said so the man kept silent. The Imam (a.s.) then said, “This is the issue in which abu al-Khattab perished. He never learned what was the explanation of the prophet and a Muhaddath.”
2 - Muhammad, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad, d'Ibn Mahboub, de Jameel ibn Salih, de Ziyad ibn Suqah, d'Al-Hakam ibn Utaybah, a dit : "Je suis entré un jour chez Ali ibn al-Hussein (que la paix soit sur eux) et il m'a dit : 'Ô Hakam, connais-tu le verset par lequel Ali ibn Abi Talib (que la paix soit sur lui) reconnaissait son assassin et par lequel il dévoilait les grandes affaires dont il informait les gens ?' Al-Hakam a dit : 'Je me suis dit alors que j'avais acquis une connaissance parmi les connaissances d'Ali ibn al-Hussein, je suis donc plus au courant de ces grandes affaires.' Il a dit : 'Je lui ai répondu : Non, par Allah, je ne sais pas.' Il a dit : 'Puis j'ai dit : Dis-moi ce verset, ô fils du Messager d'Allah.' Il a dit : 'Par Allah, c'est la parole d'Allah, le Très-Haut : "Nous n'avons envoyé avant toi aucun Messager, ni prophète, ni conteur de récits. Et Ali ibn Abi Talib (que la paix soit sur lui) était un conteur de récits." Alors un homme, appelé Abdullah ibn Zayd, qui était le frère de la mère d'Ali, a dit, en reniant cela, et Abou Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) s'est avancé vers nous et a dit : 'Par Allah, certes, le fils de ta mère savait cela.' Quand il a dit cela, l'homme s'est tu et il a dit : 'C'est par cela qu'Abu al-Khattab a péri.' Il ne savait pas l'interprétation du conteur de récits et du prophète."
3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn Yahya have narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il who has said that I heard abu al-Hassan (a.s.) say the following. “The Imams (a.s.) are scholar, truthful people, have perfect understanding and Muhaddathum hear from the angels.”
3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad et Muhammad ibn Yahya ont rapporté de Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, de Ya'qub ibn Yazid, de Muhammad ibn Isma'il, qui a dit : J'ai entendu Abou al-Hassan (que la paix soit sur lui) dire : "Les Imams sont des savants véridiques, compréhensifs et bien informés."
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from a man that Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following. “Once Muhaddath was mentioned in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) and he said, “He, Muhaddath, hears the voice but does not see the persons of the angels.” I then said to him, “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, how he would come to know that the voice and words are from the angels?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “He is given the serenity and dignity to the level that he learns about its being the speech of the angels.”
4 - Ali ibn Ibrahim a rapporté de Muhammad ibn Isa, de Yunus, d'un homme, de Muhammad ibn Muslim, qui a dit : Le rapporteur a été mentionné devant Abi Abdillah (que la paix soit sur lui), qui a dit : "Il entend la voix sans voir la personne." Je lui ai demandé : "Puisses-tu être sacrifié pour lui, comment sait-il que c'est la parole de l'ange ?" Il a répondu : "Il est donné la tranquillité et la dignité jusqu'à ce qu'il sache que c'est la parole d'un ange."
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar from al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah from Humran ibn A‘yan who has said that abu Ja‘far (a.s.) has said the following. “Ali (a.s.) was a Muhaddath.” I then returned to my associates and said, “I have brought you a very strange news.” They asked, “What is it?” I then said that I heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.) say that Ali (a.s.) was a Muhaddath. They then said, “What did you do?” Would that you had asked him as to who would speak to him (Ali (a.s.) I then went back to abu Ja‘far (a.s.) and said to him, “I went to my associates and told them about what you had told me and they said, “What did you do? Would that you had asked him as to who would speak to him (Ali (a.s.)” The Imam (a.s.) said to me, “The angel would speak to him.” I then asked, “Do you say that he was a prophet?” He has said, “He moved his hand like this. Or like the companion of Solomon, or the companion of Moses or like Dhul Qarnayn. Have not heard that he has said, “Among there one like him.” (A hadith of the Holy Prophet (s.a.) says that Ali (a.s.) is the Dhul Qarnay of this Umma)
Muhammad ibn Yahya a rapporté d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad, de Husayn ibn Sa'id, de Hammad ibn 'Isa, de Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar, de Harith ibn al-Mughirah, de Humran ibn A'yan, qui a dit : Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "Certes, Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) était un conteur. Je suis allé voir mes compagnons et leur ai dit : 'Je viens à vous avec quelque chose d'étonnant.' Ils ont demandé : 'Qu'est-ce que c'est?' J'ai dit : 'J'ai entendu Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) dire : Ali (que la paix soit sur lui) était un conteur.' Ils ont dit : 'Tu n'as rien fait sans lui demander qui lui avait raconté cela.' Je suis retourné le voir et lui ai dit : 'J'ai raconté à mes compagnons ce que tu m'as dit.' Ils ont dit : 'Tu n'as rien fait sans lui demander qui lui avait raconté cela.' Il m'a dit : 'Un ange lui racontait.' J'ai demandé : 'Dis-tu qu'il était un prophète?' Il a alors agité sa main de cette manière ou comme le compagnon de Salomon ou le compagnon de Moïse ou comme Dhul-Qarnayn. Et il vous est parvenu qu'il a dit : 'Et parmi vous se trouve son semblable.'"
