Kitab Al-Nawadir (uncommon reports)

1 - Narrated to us Ahmad bin Harun Qadhi and Ja’far bin Masroor and Ali bin Husain bin Shazan Muaddab - May Allah be pleased with them – they said: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far Ibne Jame Himyari: Narrated to us my father from Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab Daqqaq from Muhammad bin Sinan from Mufaddal bin Umar that he said: As-Sadiq Ja’far bin Muhammad عليه السلام was asked regarding the words of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: I swear by the time, Most surely man is in loss.1 He replied: The time is the time of the reappearance of the Qaim عليه السلام. ‘Most surely man is in loss’ means our enemies. Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience.2 Means: those who believe (in our signs) and do good (by acting equitably with the brothers), and enjoin on each other truth (of Imamate), and enjoin on each other patience (during the period when no prophet is there).”
