Re: Imam Jafar on Imam Malik (ra)
Untrue.
His son Musa al-Kadhim was his successor.
Safwan al-Jamal narrated: Mansour Ibn Hazim said to Jafar al-Sadiq, "May my parents be sacrificed. People pass away, and when this happens who (shall we follow)?" Abu Abdullah al-Sadiq said, "When that occurs, then he is your master," and he pointed with his hand to Abul Hassan Musa al-Kadhim on his right.
