Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3881 — The virtues of Umar bin al-Khattab

قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - ، فَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : وَلَدَنِي مَرَّتَيْنِ .
It is narrated from Imam Ja'far bin Muhammad (Ja'far al-Sadiq) (may Allah have mercy on him) that he mentioned Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), praised him highly and said: "He gave birth to me twice (that is, I am doubly related to him by lineage)."
What is meant by this saying is that the mother of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (may Allah have mercy on him), Umm Farwah, was the daughter of al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Abi Bakr, and her mother was Asma bint Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr; in this way the Imam's lineage reaches Sayyiduna al-Siddiq al-Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) from two sides.
