3. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan has narrated from Sahl from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Fadala ibn Ayyub from al-Husayn ibn abu al-‘ala’ who has said that he heard abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say the following. “’Umar ibn ‘ad al-‘Aziz wrote ibn Hazm to send him the endowment documents of Ali, ‘Umar and ‘Uthman. Inb Hazm sent a person to Zayd ibn al-Hassan (a.s.) who was the eldest among them and asked him about the documents. Zayd said, “The high authority after Ali was al-Hassan and after him al-Husayn and Ali ibn al-Husayn was after al-Husayn and after Ali ibn al-Husayn Muhammad ibn Ali was the high authority. Send to him. Ibn Hazm then sent to my father and my father sent me with document to him and I went and delivered it to ibn Hazm.” The narrator has said that some of our people asked The Imam (a.s.), “did the sons of al-Hassan (a.s.) know this.” The Imam (a.s.) said, “They knew it just as they know that this is night but envy influences them. Had they sought truth with truth it would have been better for them but they seek the worldly things. * Abu Baker ibn Muhammad ibn ’Amr ibn Hazm al-Ansari (37/657 -120/738), the judge of Madina from 87/706 appointed by ‘Umar ibn ‘Abdi al-‘Aziz when he was governor of Madina. When ‘Umar became the Caliph he also appointed ibn Hazm governor of Madina.

3 - Muhammad ibn al-Hassan, de la part de Sahl, de la part de Muhammad ibn 'Isa, de la part de Fadala ibn Ayyub, de la part de Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-'Ala, de la part d'Abu 'Abdillah (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : J'ai entendu dire qu'Omar ibn Abd al-Aziz écrivit à Ibn Hazm pour lui demander de lui envoyer l'aumône d'Ali, d'Omar, et d'Othman. Ibn Hazm envoya alors à Zayd ibn al-Hassan, le plus âgé parmi eux, pour lui demander l'aumône. Zayd répondit : Le gouverneur était après Ali, puis Hassan, puis Husayn, puis Ali ibn Husayn, et après Ali ibn Husayn, Muhammad ibn Ali. Envoie-lui donc l'aumône. Ibn Hazm envoya alors vers mon père, qui m'envoya avec la lettre à lui. Jusqu'à ce que je la remette à Ibn Hazm. Certains d'entre nous lui dirent : "C'est le fils de Hassan." Il répondit : "Oui, ils le reconnaissent comme ils reconnaissent que c'est la nuit, mais la jalousie les envahit. S'ils recherchaient la vérité avec sincérité, ce serait mieux pour eux, mais ils cherchent le monde."
