From the first generation of the Followers - Yunus ibn Ubayd
Volume: (3) - Page Number: (27)
- Muhammad ibn Umar ibn Salim al-Hafiz narrated to us, and I recorded nothing except from him. He said: Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Mardas narrated to me from the original of his book, saying: Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Kufi informed us, and Isma'il ibn Aliyya narrated to us from Yunus ibn Ubayd, from Sa'id ibn Jubayr
from Abu al-Hamra', a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: "I saw on the night of my Ascension (Isra) with certainty established on the leg of the Throne: 'I have planted the Garden of Eden in Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), My chosen one from My creation. I supported him with Ali.'" This is an unusual narration from Yunus regarding Sa'id ibn Jubayr, and we recorded it only from this source.
