What is Narrated From Al-Askari عليه السلام Regarding the Designation of Al-qa'im
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَزَّازُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ الْعُطَارِدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ الْمَدَنِيِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَارِثٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلِيّاً ع أَ رَأَيْتَ ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ كَيْفَ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ الْمَشْرِقَ وَ الْمَغْرِبَ قَالَ سَخَّرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ السَّحَابَ وَ مَدَّ لَهُ فِي الْأَسْبَابِ وَ بَسَطَ لَهُ النُّورَ فَكَانَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ عَلَيْهِ سَوَاءً.
