1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأنْصَارِ فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَامَ الأنْصَارِيُّ وَلَمْ يَقُمْ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فَقَعَدْتُ مَعَهُ وَلَمْ يَزَلِ الأنْصَارِيُّ قَائِماً حَتَّى مَضَوْا بِهَا ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَا أَقَامَكَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِما الْسَّلام) يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَالله مَا فَعَلَهُ الْحُسَيْنُ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَلاَ قَامَ لَهَا أَحَدٌ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ قَطُّ فَقَالَ الأنْصَارِيُّ شَكَّكْتَنِي أَصْلَحَكَ الله قَدْ كُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ.

Published English translation

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd from Yahya ibn ‘Imran al-Halabiy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from Zurarah who has said the following: “Once I was with of abu Ja‘far (a.s.), when a man from Ansar was also there. A funeral procession passed by and the Ansariy man stood up; but abu Ja’far (a.s.), did not do so, and I remained sitting with him. The Ansariy remained standing until the procession passed by and then he sat down. The Imam asked, ’What made you stand up?’ He replied, ‘I saw al-Husayn ibn Ali do as I did.’ Abu Ja’far (a.s.), said, ’By Allah, al-Husayn did not do so and no one from us (Ahl al-Bayt) has ever done so.’ The Ansariy then said, ‘What you just said has placed me in doubt. I thought I had seen him (al-Husayn) doing so.’”
