23- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيُّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْقَائِمِ ع قَدْ ظَهَرَ عَلَى نَجَفِ الْكُوفَةِ فَإِذَا ظَهَرَ عَلَى النَّجَفِ نَشَرَ رَايَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَمُودُهَا مِنْ عُمُدِ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ سَائِرُهَا مِنْ نَصْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَا تُهْوَى بِهَا إِلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا أَهْلَكَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ وَ تَكُونُ مَعَهُ أَوْ يُؤْتَى بِهَا قَالَ بلى [بَلْ] يُؤْتَى بِهَا يَأْتِيهِ بِهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ ع.
And through the same chain of narrators from Aban bin Taghlib that he said: Narrated to me Abu Hamza Thumali that he said: Abu Ja’far عليه السلام said:
“As if I can see Qaim عليه السلام appearing in Kufa at the back of Najaf. When he arrives at Najaf he would unfurl the standard of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. Its pole would be a pillar of the Arsh and those who accompany it would be helpers of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. He would not bring it down for anyone but that the Almighty Allah would destroy that person.”
The narrator says: I asked in a polite manner: “Is that flag with him or it would be brought for him?” He said: “It would be brought for him by Jibraeel عليه السلام.”
