1. [1/190] Irshad al-Mufid: Ibn Qulawayh from al-Kulayni from Muhammad b. Yahya from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from Abi Yahya al-Wasiti from Hisham b. Salim who said: Muhammad b. al-Nu`man Sahib al-Taq and I were in Madina after the death of Abi Abdillah عليه السلام and the people had gathered around Abdallah b. Ja`far – considering him to be the master of the affair after his father. We entered in to meet him while the people were with him, we asked him about the Zakat – at what amount is it to be levied? He said: five silver coins for every two hundred, we said: what about in a hundred silver coins? he said: two and a half silver coins, we said: by Allah this is what the Murjia say! he said: by Allah I do not even know what the Murjia say! He [Hisham] said: so we came out feeling lost … I said: may I be made your ransom, your brother Abdallah claims that he is the Imam after his father, he [al-Kadhim] said: Abdallah wants that Allah not be worshipped … and the people abandoned Abdallah and no one entered in to see him except very few.
