12ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي قُبِضَ فِيهَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا لَكَ ذَبَحْتَ كَبْشاً وَنَحَرَ فُلانٌ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ نُوحاً (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) كَانَ فِي السَّفِينَةِ وَكَانَ فِيهَا مَا شَاءَ الله وَكَانَتِ السَّفِينَةُ مَأْمُورَةً فَطَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَهُوَ طَوَافُ النِّسَاءِ وَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهَا نُوحٌ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَأَوْحَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ أَنِّي وَاضِعٌ سَفِينَةَ نُوحٍ عَبْدِي عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْكُنَّ فَتَطَاوَلَتْ وَشَمَخَتْ وَتَوَاضَعَ الْجُودِيُّ وَهُوَ جَبَلٌ عِنْدَكُمْ فَضَرَبَتِ السَّفِينَةُ بِجُؤْجُؤِهَا الْجَبَلَ قَالَ فَقَالَ نُوحٌ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَا مَارِي أَتْقِنْ وَهُوَ بِالسُّرْيَانِيَّةِ يَا رَبِّ أَصْلِحْ قَالَ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَرَّضَ بِنَفْسِهِ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

12. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Ali ibn al-Hakam in a marfu’ manner from abu Basir who has said the following: “I entered upon Abu al-Hasan Musa عليه السلام in the year when Abu Abdullah عليه السلام passed away. I said, 'May I be your ransom, why did you slaughter a ram while so-and-so sacrificed a camel?' He (peace be upon him) said, 'O Abu Muhammad, Noah عليه السلام was in the Ark, and it contained what Allah willed. The Ark was commanded (by Allah), and it circled around the Ka'bah—this was the circumambulation of women—and then Noah عليه السلام let it continue on its way. Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, revealed to the mountains that He would place the Ark of His servant Noah on one of them. So the mountains extended themselves and raised their heads high, while Mount Judi, which is near you, lowered itself. The Ark struck the mountain with its bow. Noah عليه السلام then said at that moment, 'O Mari, secure it!'—in Syriac, 'O Lord, make it sound!'" I then thought that Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام was alluding to himself.
