Ahmad b. Hammad al-Marwazi and his son Muhammad

1. [1/120] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Mas`ud from Abu Ali al-Mahmudi Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Hammad al-Marwazi who said: Abu Ja`far (al-Jawad) عليه السلام wrote to my father in a part of his letter – and he (my father) went on to die on the same day or the next: then “every soul will be recompensed for that which it earned and they will not be dealt with unjustly” (3:25), as for this world then we are in it separated [far away from each other] in different lands, but whoever inclines to the inclination of his fellow (Imam) and takes as a religion his [fellow’s] religion, then he is with him even if he is [geographically] distant from him, and as for the next world then “it is the everlasting abode” (40:39) [where we will be physically together].

2. [2/121] Rijal al-Kashshi: and al-Mahmudi said: the past one عليه السلام [al-Jawad] wrote to me after the death of my father: your father has passed away – may Allah be pleased with him and with you – and he [your father] has with us a praiseworthy position, and you are not far-off from that position.
