وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي دَارِمٍ الْحَافِظُ بِالْكُوفَةِ ثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ بْنِ عِيسَى الْهَاشِمِيُّ ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْهَاشِمِيُّ ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْمَنْصُورِ فَرَأَيْتُ لَهُ جُمَّةً فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى حُسْنِهَا فَقَالَ كَانَ لِأَبِي مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ جُمَّةٌ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ أَبَاهُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ جُمَّةٌ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ أَبَاهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ كَانَتْ لَهُ جُمَّةٌ وَكَانَ لِلْعَبَّاسِ جُمَّةٌ وَحَدَّثَنِي «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَتْ لَهُ جُمَّةٌ وَكَانَ لِهَاشِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ جُمَّةٌ» فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي لَأَعْجَبُ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا فَقَالَ «ذَلِكَ نُورُ الْخِلَافَةِ» قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ خَلْقًا لِلْخِلَافَةِ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ فَلَا تَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ عَيْنُ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا أَحَبَّهُ» رُوَاةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ آخِرِهِمْ كُلُّهُمْ هَاشِمِيُّونَ مَعْرُوفُونَ بِشَرَفِ الْأَصْلِ رواته هاشميون ليسوا بمعتمدين

✧ I entered upon Abū Jaʿfar al-Manṣūr and saw that he had a jumma (long hair reaching the shoulders). I began looking at its beauty, and he said, "Abū Muḥammad b. ʿAlī had a jumma, and he told me that his father ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh had a jumma, and he told me that his father ʿAbd Allāh b. al-ʿAbbās had a jumma, and al-ʿAbbās had a jumma, and he told me that the Prophet ﷺ had a jumma, and Hāshim b. ʿAbd Manāf had a jumma." I said to my father, "I am amazed at its beauty." He said, "That is the light of the caliphate." He said: My father narrated to me, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: "When Allah intends to create a creature for the caliphate, He wipes His hand over its forelock, so no eye falls upon it except that it loves it." The narrators of this hadith, to the last of them, are all Hāshimites known for noble lineage. Its narrators are Hāshimites, not relied upon.
