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

49- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ الْبَغْدَادِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‌ يَفْقِدُ النَّاسُ إِمَامَهُمْ يَشْهَدُ الْمَوْسِمَ فَيَرَاهُمْ وَ لَا يَرَوْنَهُ.
49 - And through the same chain of narrators from Musa bin Ja’far bin Wahab Baghdadi that he said: Narrated to me Hasan bin Muhammad Sairafi: Narrated to me Yahya bin Muthanna al-Attar from Abdullah bin Bukair from Ubaid bin Zurarah that he said: I heard Abi Abdullah عليه السلام say:
“The Imam will disappear from the people. He will witness those who come for Hajj. He will see them but they will not see him.”
