What Husayn Ibn Ali عليه السلام Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultation

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ سَيِّدُ الْعَابِدِينَ ع‌ الْقَائِمُ مِنَّا تَخْفَى وِلَادَتُهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَمْ يُولَدْ بَعْدُ لِيَخْرُجَ حِينَ يَخْرُجُ وَ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ فِي عُنُقِهِ بَيْعَةٌ.
And from the same chain of narrators he said: Ali bin Husain, the Chief of the worshippers عليه السلام said: “The Qaim from us will be such that his birth will remain concealed from the people so much that they will say (regarding Imam Hasan Askari) that: He had no issue who will rise up without having the allegiance of anyone on his neck.”
