When I was being taken to the heavens on my ascension I saw someone hanging onto the heavens and complaining to his Lord about one of his relatives. I asked him how many generations apart they were from each other. He said that they reach each other to the same grandfather in lineage forty generations back.”
5 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ جَعْفَر الحِمْيَريُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِى الوَشَّاء، عَن أَبي الحَسَن الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن أَبيهِ، عَنآبائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ
قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ لَمّا اُسْرى بي إِلى السَّماءِ رَأَيْت رحما مُتِعَلِّقَةٌ بِالعرش تشكو رحما إِلى ربها فَقُلْتُ لَها كَمْ بَيْنَكَ وَبينها من أب فَقالَتْ نلتقي فِي أَرْبَعِينَ أَباً.
