Al-Kafi 8096

Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassan, from one of our companions who said, ‘I was present with Abu Al-Hassan^asws the 1^st (7^th Imam^asws), and Haroun (Al Rasheed) the Caliph, and Isa Bin Ja’far, and Ja’far Bin Yahya, at Al-Medina, and they had come to the grave of the Prophet^saww. So Haroun said to Abu Al-Hassan^asws, ‘Proceed!’ But, he^asws refused. So Haroun proceeded and greeted, and stood nearby. And Isa Bin ja’far said to Abu Al Hassan^asws, ‘Proceed’. But he^asws refused. So Isa proceeded and greeted, and paused alongside Haroun. So Ja’far said to Abu Al-Hassan^asws, ‘Proceed’. But he^asws refused. So Ja’far proceeded and paused alongside Haroun. And Abu Al-Hassan^asws proceeded, so he^asws said: ‘The greetings be upon you^saww, O father^saww! I^asws ask Allah^azwj Who Chose you^saww, and Appointed you^saww, and Guided you^saww, and Guided through you^saww, that He^azwj should Send Blessings upon you^saww’. So Haroun said to Isa, ‘Did you hear what he^asws said?’ He said, ‘Yes’. So Haroun said, ‘I testify that he^saww is his^asws father^saww, truly’.
