3- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الطَّالَقَانِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ هَمَّامٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ الْعَمْرِيَّ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ يَقُولُ خَرَجَ تَوْقِيعٌ بِخَطٍّ أَعْرِفُهُ مَنْ سَمَّانِي فِي مَجْمَعٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ بِاسْمِي فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ وَ كَتَبْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْفَرَجِ مَتَى يَكُونُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيَّ كَذَبَ الْوَقَّاتُونَ.
3 - Narrated to us Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Ishaq Taliqani رضي الله عنه: I heard Aba Ali Muhammad bin Hammam say: I heard Muhammad bin Uthman Amari قدس سره say:
“An epistle was issued in a familiar handwriting that said: Curse of Allah on the one who utters my name in the gathering of people. Abu Ali Muhammad bin Hammam says: I wrote asking him when the reappearance will be? He replied: Those who fix the time of reappearance are liars.”
