Abū Shu'ayb Abd Allah ibn al-Hasan al-Harrānī narrated to us, saying: Alī ⦗2526⦘ ibn al-Ja'd narrated to us, saying: Zuhayr ibn Mu'āwiya narrated to us, saying: My father said to Ja'far ibn Muhammad, “A neighbor of mine claims that you disavow Abū Bakr and Umar.” He replied, “May Allah disavow your neighbor! By Allah, I truly hope that Allah—glorious is His Majesty—will benefit me through my kinship with Abū Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Indeed, when I became ill, I entrusted my will to my maternal uncle, Abd al-Rahmān ibn al-Qāsim.”
