سعد بن عبداللّه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد والحسن بن ظريف جميعاً، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، عن أبي عبداللّه علیه السلام، قال: يقوم القائم عليه السلام وليس لأحد في عنقه بيعة.
Saʿd b. ʿAbd Allāh, from both Yaʿqūb b. Yazīd and al-Ḥasan b. Ẓarīf,[1] from Muḥammad b. Abī ʿUmayr, from Hishām b. Sālim, from Abī ʿAbd Allāh عليه السلام, who said: “The Qāʾim عليه السلام will rise up without an allegiance to anyone (binding) on his neck.”
[1] There is an al-Ḥasan b. Ṭarīf in the chain of transmission of Ḥadīth al-Lawḥ (the Tradition of the Tablet), in chapter 4 of the Addendum, who may be the same person as this al-Ḥasan b. Ẓarīf on account of a possible typographical error caused by the obvious similarity in appearance between « ط » and « ظ ». We have, however, kept the text as it is presented in the published edition by the Imam al-Mahdī عليه السلام Academy.
