What Al-Baqir عليه السلام Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultation
28- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ جَمِيعاً قَالا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالا حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: اكْتَتَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِمَكَّةَ مُخْتَفِياً خَائِفاً خَمْسَ سِنِينَ لَيْسَ يُظْهِرُ أَمْرَهُ وَ عَلِيٌّ ع مَعَهُ وَ خَدِيجَةُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَصْدَعَ بِمَا أُمِرَ بِهِ فَظَهَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَظْهَرَ أَمْرَهُ. : وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ أَنَّهُ ع كَانَ مُخْتَفِياً بِمَكَّةَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ.
28 -Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah and Muhammad bin Hasan as-Saffar, all of them said: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab and Muhammad bin Isa bin Ubaid: Narrated to us Safwan bin Yahya from Abdullah bin Muskan from Muhammad bin Ali Halabi from Abi Abdullah عليه السلام that he said:
“The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم maintained a low profile and was cautious for five years in Mecca (after declaring his mission). He did not reveal his prophethood. With him were Ali Ibne Abi Talib عليه السلام and Lady Khadija صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime told him to reveal what he had been commanded. So the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم came out in open and declared his claim.” In another tradition it is mentioned that he lived in Mecca in fear for three years.
