What is Narrated From Al-Ridha عليه السلام Regarding the Designation of Al-qa'im
1- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع إِنَّا لَنَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سَيْفٍ فَقَدْ بُويِعَ لَكَ وَ ضُرِبَتِ الدَّرَاهِمُ بِاسْمِكَ فَقَالَ مَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ اخْتَلَفَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْكُتُبُ وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْمَسَائِلِ وَ أَشَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْأَصَابِعُ وَ حُمِلَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْأَمْوَالُ إِلَّا اغْتِيلَ أَوْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ رَجُلًا خَفِيَّ الْمَوْلِدِ وَ الْمَنْشَإِ غَيْرَ خَفِيٍّ فِي نَسَبِهِ.
1 - Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan al-Saffar from Yaqoob bin Yazid from Ayyub bin Nuh that he said: I said to ar-Reza عليه السلام:
“We hope that you will be the master of this affair and that may Allah, the Exalted restore power to you without taking up arms. You have been pledged allegiance to and coins have been struck in your name.”
He said, “There is no one of us that letters come and go to him, is asked questions, pointed with fingers, and religious dues taken to, but he will be assassinated or he will die on his bed, until Allah, the Exalted, sends for this matter a man whose birth and place of growth will be hidden and he will not be hidden in his lineage.”
