What Al-Baqir عليه السلام Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultation
42- حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ تَفْسِيرِ جَابِرٍ فَقَالَ لَا تُحَدِّثْ بِهِ السُّفَّلَ فَيُذِيعُوهُ أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ فَإِذا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ إِنَّ مِنَّا إِمَاماً مُسْتَتِراً فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِظْهَارَ أَمْرِهِ نَكَتَ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةً فَظَهَرَ وَ أَمَرَ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
42 - Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan - May Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab from Musa bin Sadaan from Abdullah bin Qasim from Mufaddal bin Umar that he said: I asked Abi Abdullah عليه السلام regarding the exegesis of Jabir and he replied:
“Do not mention such matters to people of less understanding because they will spread them to others. Have you not seen the verse in the Book of Allah:
For when the trumpet is sounded. Then he said: There will be an Imam from us Ahlul Bayt, who will remain in concealment.
When the Almighty Allah wants him to come out, He will create a spot in his heart. Thus he will reappear and enforce the command of Allah.”
