What is Narrated From Al-Askari عليه السلام Regarding the Designation of Al-qa'im

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي غَانِمٍ‌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ع يَقُولُ‌ فِي سَنَةِ مِائَتَيْنِ وَ سِتِّينَ تَفْتَرِقُ شِيعَتِي فَفِيهَا قُبِضَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ تَفَرَّقَتِ الشِّيعَةُ وَ أَنْصَارُهُ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنِ انْتَمَى إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَاهَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ شَكَّ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ وَقَفَ عَلَى تَحَيُّرِهِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ ثَبَتَ عَلَى دِينِهِ بِتَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
Narrated to us Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Yahya al-Attar رضي الله عنه: Narrated to me my father from Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Malik Fazari: Narrated to me Muhammad bin Ahmad Madayni from Abi Ghanim that he said: I heard Aba Muhammad Hasan bin Ali عليه السلام say: “My Shias will divide up in the year 260.” 
In that year Abu Muhammad عليه السلام passed away and his Shias and supporters went different ways. Some of them followed Ja’far, some of them went astray and were seized by doubts; some of them remained on their perplexity; and some of them remained steadfast on their religion through the help of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.
