What the Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultation
حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ وَ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَسْرُوقٍ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الثِّقَةُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِي الْأَرْضَ مِنْ حُجَّةٍ لَكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ ظَاهِرٍ أَوْ خَافٍ مَغْمُورٍ لِئَلَّا تَبْطُلَ حُجَجُكَ وَ بَيِّنَاتُكَ.
Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan - May Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa and Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab and Haitham bin Abi Masruq Nahdi from Hasan bin Mahboob from Hisham bin Saalim from Abi Ishaq Hamadani: Narrated to me a reliable person from our associates that he heard Amirul Momineen عليه السلام say: “O Allah do not leave Your earth devoid of Your Proof on Your creatures, either manifest or hidden so that Your arguments and Proofs are not invalidated.”
