145. Proofs of his Imama

455.بحار الأنوار عن همّام بن نافع ، قال : قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام لأصحابه يوماً : إذا افتَقَدتُمُوني فَاقتَدُوا بِهذا ، فَهُوَ الإمامُ وَالخَلِيفَةُ بَعدي ، وَأشارَ إلى‏ أبي عَبد اللَّهِ عليه السلام .¹

455. Bihar al-Anwar, 'Hammam b. Nafi narrated: 'One day Imam al-Baqir (AS) said to his companions: 'When you lose me, follow this man. He is the leader and my successor.' He (AS) then pointed to Abi Abdillah [al-Sadiq] (AS).' ²

456.محمّدَ بنِ مسلمٍ : كنتُ عندَ أبي جعفرٍ محمّدِ بنِ عليٍّ الباقرِ عليهما السلام إذْ دخَلَ جعفرٌ ابنُهُ ، وعلى‏ رأسِهِ ذُؤابةٌ ، وفي يَدهِ عَصاً يَلْعبُ بِها ، فأخَذَهُ الباقرُ عليه السلام وضمَّهُ إليهِ ضَمّاً ، ثُمّ قالَ : بأبي أنتَ واُمّي ، لا تَلْهو ولا تَلْعبُ . ثُمّ قالَ لي : يا محمّد ، هذا إمامُكَ بَعدي ، فاقْتَدِ بهِ ، واقْتبِسْ مِن عِلمِهِ ، واللَّهِ إنّهُ لَهُوَ الصّادقُ الّذي وَصَفهُ لنا رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله . إنّ شِيعتَهُ مَنصورونَ في‏الدُّنيا والآخِرَةِ .³

456. Muhammad b. Muslim narrated, 'I was in the presence of Abu Jafar Muhammad b. Ali al-Baqir when his son Jafar entered. He had a forelock on his head and had a stick in his hand which he was playing with. Al-Baqir (AS) took him in his arms and hugged him tightly, then said, 'May my parents be your ransom, you are neither distracted, nor do you play.' He then addressed me and said, 'O Muhammad! This is your Imam after me, so follow him and benefit from his knowledge. By Allah, verily he is the truthful one [al-Sadiq] whom the Prophet (SAWA) described to us. Certainly his followers will be victorious in this world and in the Hereafter.' ⁴
