What the Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultation

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ فُرَاتِ بْنِ أَحْنَفَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‌ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ الْقَائِمَ عليه السلام فَقَالَ أَمَا لَيَغِيبَنَّ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْجَاهِلُ مَا لِلَّهِ فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدِ حَاجَةٌ.
