(6) Abu Sulayman Ahmad bin Hawtha narrated from Ibraheem bin Iss’haq an-Nahawandi from Abdullah bin Hammad al-Ansari that Mo’awiya bin Wahab had said
“Once I went to Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) and I saw his son Abul Hasan Musa, who was then three years old. There was a lamb with him. He said to the lamb: “Prostrate yourself before Allah, Who has created you.” He repeated that three times. A little boy said to him: “O my master, ask it to die!” Musa (as) said: “Woe unto you! Do I give life (to creatures) and make them die? It is Allah, Who gives life (to His creatures) and makes (them) die.”

دخلت على أبي عبد الله ، فرأيت أبا الحسن موسى وله يومئذ ثلاث سنين ومعه عناق من هذه المكية وهو آخذ بخطام عليها وهو يقول لها: اسجدي لله الذي خلقك، ففعل ذلك ثلاث مرات، فقال له غلام صغير: يا سيدي، قل لها تموت. فقال له موسى: ويحك! أنا أحيي وأميت؟ الله يحيي ويميت.
