Published English translation

4. Muhammad b. Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Musa ibn Sa‘dan from Abu al-Hassan al-’Asadi from Abu Basir from Abu Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Amir al-Mu’mini (a.s.) once came out during the night after the ‘Isha’ prayer saying, ‘Ham hama, ham hama it is a dark night. The Imam (a.s.) has come out to you and he is wearing the shirt of Adam (a.s.) and he is wearing the ring of Solomon (a.s.) and holding the staff of Moses (a.s.).”

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
