ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ ما ذا أُجِبْتُمْ قالُوا لا عِلْمَ لَنا قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِهَذَا تَأْوِيلًا يَقُولُ مَا ذَا أُجِبْتُمْ فِي أَوْصِيَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ خَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ عَلَى أُمَمِكُمْ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا بِمَا فَعَلُوا مِنْ بَعْدِنَا.
535. Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Bureyd Al-Kunasy who said: I asked Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام about the Statement of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic: “[5:109] On the day when Allah will assemble the messengers, then say: What answer were you given? They shall say: We have no knowledge, surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen things”. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said; ‘There is an explanation for this. He عز وجل will say: “What response were you عليه السلام given with regards to your عليه السلام successors عليه السلام whom you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم left behind among your عليه السلام communities?’ So they عليه السلام will say: ‘We have no knowledge of what they did from after us عليه السلام’.
