Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 377
حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَقْبَلَ يَقُولُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي الْغَارِ اسْكُنْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا وَ قَدْ أَخَذَتْهُ الرِّعْدَةُ وَ هُوَ لَا يَسْكُنُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حَالَهُ قَالَ لَهُ تُرِيدُ أَنْ أُرِيَكَ أَصْحَابِي مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ فَأُرِيَكَ جَعْفَراً وَ أَصْحَابَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ يَغُوصُونَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَمَسَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِيَدِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْأَنْصَارِ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ وَ نَظَرَ إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي الْبَحْرِ يَغُوصُونَ فَأَضْمَرَ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ أَنَّهُ سَاحِرٌ.
377. Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Ayyub, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Al-Hakam Bin Muskaan, from Yusuf Bin Suheyb, who has said: Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: ‘I heard Abu Ja’far say: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said while turning to Abu Bakr in the cave: ‘Calm down, for Allah is with us’. And he (Abu Bakr) had been taken over by the trepidation, and he was not calm. So when the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم saw his state, he said to him: ‘Would you like me to show you my companions from the Ansar narrating in their gathering? Shall I show you Ja’far and his companions sailing in the sea?’ He said, ‘Yes’. So the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم wiped his hand upon his face. He visualised the Ansar narrating, and visualized Ja’far عليه السلام and his companions sailing in the sea. So he (Abu Bakr) avouched in that moment that he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) was a sorcerer’.
