What Al-Baqir عليه السلام Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultation
46- حَدَّثَنَا الْمُظَفَّرُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْمُظَفَّرِ الْعَلَوِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْعَيَّاشِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُجَاعٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ فِي صَاحِبِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ سنن [سُنَناً] مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ع سُنَّةً مِنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ وَ سُنَّةً مِنْ عِيسَى وَ سُنَّةً مِنْ يُوسُفَ وَ سُنَّةً مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَأَمَّا سُنَّتُهُ مِنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ فَخَائِفٌ يَتَرَقَّبُ وَ أَمَّا سُنَّتُهُ مِنْ عِيسَى فَيُقَالُ فِيهِ مَا قِيلَ فِي عِيسَى وَ أَمَّا سُنَّتُهُ مِنْ يُوسُفَ فَالسِّتْرُ يَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْخَلْقِ حِجَاباً يَرَوْنَهُ وَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَهُ وَ أَمَّا سُنَّتُهُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَيَهْتَدِي بِهُدَاهُ وَ يَسِيرُ بِسِيرَتِهِ.
46 -Narrated to us Muzaffar bin Ja’far bin Muzaffar Alawi رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Masud from his father Muhammad bin Masud Ayyashi: Narrated to us Ali bin Muhammad bin Shuja from Muhammad bin Isa from Yunus from Ali bin Abi Hamza from Abi Baseer that he said: Abi Abdullah عليه السلام said:
“In the master of this affair there are resemblances with the prophets. Resemblance to Musa bin Imran, resemblance to Isa, resemblance to Yusuf and resemblance to Muhammad (peace be on them all).
As for the resemblance to Musa عليه السلام, it is constant fear and caution. And as for the resemblance to Yusuf is that Allah put such a veil between him and people that they could see him but could not recognize him. And as of the resemblance to Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, he will be guided by his guidance and follow his practice.”
