He said: Abul Qasim Ja’far ibn Muhammad – may Allah bless him with mercy, reported to me from his father, from Sa’d ibn Abdillah from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Musa ibn Talha, from Abu Muhammad brother of Yunus ibn Ya’qoob, from his brother Yunus, who said:

I was at Medinah, when Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him, met me in one of its lanes. He said: “O Yunus, go to the door for a person from us Ahlul Bayt is at the door.” He said: “I went towards the door and found Isa ibn Abdillah sitting there. So, I said: “Who are you.” He replied: “I am from Qum.”

He said: “No sooner he said that, then Abu Abdillah appeared on a donkey and he entered the house riding the donkey. Then attending to us, he said: “Come through.” Then he said: “O Yunus, I believe you were not prepared to grant when I said that Isa. ibn Abdillah is from us, Ahlul Bayt?” I said: “It is so, may I be your ransom. For Isa ibn Abdillah is from people of Qum, how can he be one of you Ahlul Bayt?” He said: “O Yunus, Isa ibn Abdillah is from us as long as he lives, and he shall be from us after he has died.”
