Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 254
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَا تَرَوْنَ مَا تُحِبُّونَ حَتَّى يَخْتَلِفَ بَنُو فُلَانٍ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا طَمِعَ النَّاسُ وَ تَفَرَّقَتِ الْكَلِمَةُ وَ خَرَجَ السُّفْيَانِيُّ.
254. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, who has said: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘You will not be seeing what you would love to (appearance of Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام) until the Clan of so and so (Clan of Abbas) differing in what is between them. So when they differ, the people would become greedy and the words would be separated, and Al-Sufyani would come out’.
