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

حَدَّثَنَا الْمُظَفَّرُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْمُظَفَّرِ الْعَلَوِيُّ الْعُمَرِيُّ السَّمَرْقَنْدِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع يَقُولُ‌ إِنَّ الْخَضِرَ ع شَرِبَ مِنْ مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ فَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ حَتَّى يُنْفَخَ فِي الصُّورِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَأْتِينَا فَيُسَلِّمُ فَنَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ وَ لَا نَرَى شَخْصَهُ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَحْضُرُ حَيْثُ مَا ذُكِرَ فَمَنْ ذَكَرَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَحْضُرُ الْمَوْسِمَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ فَيَقْضِي جَمِيعَ‌ الْمَنَاسِكِ وَ يَقِفُ بِعَرَفَةَ فَيُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَيُؤْنِسُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَحْشَةَ قَائِمِنَا فِي غَيْبَتِهِ وَ يَصِلُ بِهِ وَحْدَتَهُ.
Narrated to us Muzaffar bin Ja’far bin Muzaffar Alwai Umari Samarqandi رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Masud from his father Muhammad bin Masud from Ja’far bin Ahmad from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal that he said: I heard Abul Hasan Ali bin Musa ar-Reza عليه السلام say:
“Khizr عليه السلام drank from the nectar of life. Thus he is alive and will not die till the bugle is blown. Indeed he comes to us and he greets us by Salaam. His voice is audible but he could not be seen. And he is present wherever his name is mentioned. Thus whomsoever of you mentions him, must say Salaam to him. Every year he is present in the ceremonies of Hajj. He performs all the rituals and he camps at Arafat; says Amen to the prayers of believers. And the Almighty Allah changes the loneliness of our Qaim عليه السلام during his occultation into his companionship and removes his loneliness through him (Khizr).”
