Mention of Those Who Saw the qa'im, Beheld Him, and Spoke with Him

14 - Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan - May Allah be pleased with them – they said: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari that: “I was with Ahmad bin Ishaq in the presence of al-Amri رضي الله عنه. I said to al-Amri: I ask you about a subject, as Allah, the Mighty and the High has said in the story of Ibrahim عليه السلام: So you not believe? He said: Yes, but in order to satisfy my heart. Have you seen my Master? He said: Yes, and he has a neck like this, pointing with both of his hands to his own neck. I asked: And the name? He replied: I warn you not to seek that, because the people believe that his progeny has been cut off.”
