7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ الْخَزَّازِ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ مَوْلَى خَدِيجَةَ بِنْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ قَوْماً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ الطَّالِبِيِّينَ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَكَانَتِ الْوَظَائِفُ تَرِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي وَقْتٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَلَمَّا مَضَى أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) رَجَعَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ عَنِ الْقَوْلِ بِالْوَلَدِ فَوَرَدَتِ الْوَظَائِفُ عَلَى مَنْ ثَبَتَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى الْقَوْلِ بِالْوَلَدِ وَقُطِعَ عَنِ الْبَاقِينَ فَلا يُذْكَرُونَ فِي الذَّاكِرِينَ وَالْحَمْدُ لله رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

Published English translation

7. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from al-Fadl al-Khazzaz al-Mada-’ini, the slave of Khadija daughter of Muhammad abu Ja‘far (a.s.)who has said the following “Certain people of the city of al-Madina that belonged to al-Talibiyin group believed in the truth (about Ahl al-Bayt). They would receive their financial grants regularly on time. When abu Muhammad (a.s.) passed away a few of them disregarded the belief that abu Muhammad (a.s.) has behind a son. The financial grants thereafter would come only to those who still believed in son of abu Muhammad (a.s.) and stopped coming to the others. They no more are mentioned along with those who are mentioned. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds.”
