40- حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبِي عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا صِرْتُمْ فِي حَالٍ لَا تَرَوْنَ فِيهَا إِمَامَ هُدًى وَ لَا عَلَماً يُرَى وَ لَا يَنْجُو مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَنْ دَعَا دُعَاءَ الْغَرِيقِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي إِذَا وَقَعَ هَذَا لَيْلًا فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَا تُدْرِكُهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَتَمَسَّكُوا بِمَا فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ حَتَّى يَتَّضِحَ لَكُمُ الْأَمْرُ.
40 - Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid - May Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan al-Saffar from Abbas bin Maroof from Ali bin Mahziyar from Hasan bin Mahboob from Hammad bin Isa from Ishaq bin Jareer from Abdullah bin Sinan that he said:
“I and my father came to Abi Abdullah عليه السلام and he said: How will you be when you will not be able to see your Imam or know his location? And none will get salvation from it except those who recite Dua Ghareeq. My father asked: What shall we do in such circumstances? He replied: When such a time comes, remain steadfast on religion till the matter becomes clear to you.”
