9. Muhammad ibn Yahya and Ahmad ibn Idris have narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from al-Hassan ibn al-Husayn from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Maythami from Fayd ibn al-Mukhtar, in a lengthy hadith on the affair of Abu al-Hassan عليه السلام . In it Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام has said to the narrator: “He is your Master of who you asked. Stand up for him and acknowledge his rights.” I then stood up and kissed his head and hand and prayed to Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, for him.” Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام then said, “Keep in mind that permission is not given to us to speak about him to anyone before you.” The narrator has said that he then said (to the Imam عليه السلام ), “‘May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, can I inform anyone about him?” The Imam عليه السلام said, “Yes, you may inform your family and sons.” With me there were my family, sons and friends and of my friends there was Yunus ibn al-Dhabyan. When I informed them they all thanked Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. Yunus said, “No, by Allah, I must hear that from him.“ He was in a hurry. He went and I followed him. When I reached the door I heard Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام say to him,- he had reached him before I-, “O Yunus, the matter is as Fayd told you.” The narrator has said that he (Yunus) then said, “I have heard it and I have obeyed.” Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام then said, “Take him with you, O Fayd.”
