What Al-Baqir عليه السلام Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultation

48- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‌ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‌ قُلْ أَ رَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ ماؤُكُمْ غَوْراً فَمَنْ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِماءٍ مَعِينٍ‌ قَالَ أَ رَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ غَابَ عَنْكُمْ إِمَامُكُمْ فَمَنْ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِإِمَامٍ جَدِيدٍ.
48 - And through the same chain of narrators from Musa bin Ja’far that: Narrated to me Musa bin Qasim from Ali Ibne Ja’far from Abil Hasan Musa bin Ja’far عليه السلام that he said: I heard Abi Abdullah عليه السلام say regarding the words of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime:
Say: Have you considered if your water should go down, who is it then that will bring you flowing water? “Don’t you see that if your Imam disappears who is it that would bring him back to you again?”
