27- حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْرُورٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ مَا كَانَ قَوْلُ لُوطٍ ع لِقَوْلِهِ‌ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلى‌ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ إِلَّا تَمَنِّياً لِقُوَّةِ الْقَائِمِ ع وَ لَا ذَكَرَ إِلَّا شِدَّةَ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْهُمْ لَيُعْطَى قُوَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا وَ إِنَّ قَلْبَهُ لَأَشَدُّ مِنْ زُبَرِ الْحَدِيدِ وَ لَوْ مَرُّوا بِجِبَالِ الْحَدِيدِ لَقَلَعُوهَا وَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَرْضَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
Narrated to us Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Masroor رضي الله عنه: Narrated to us Husain bin Muhammad bin Aamir from his uncle Abdullah bin Aamir from Muhammad bin Abi Umair from Ibne Abi Hamza from Abi Baseer that he said: Abi Abdullah عليه السلام said: “When Prophet Lut عليه السلام told his people: قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَىٰ رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ “He said: Ah! that I had power to suppress you, rather I shall have recourse to a strong support.”30 He did not mean to say anything except that he was wishing for the power of Qaim عليه السلام and ‘a strong support’ are his companions, each of whom would have the strength of forty men and their hearts would be more solid than a mountain of iron, such that if they wanted they could move a mountain of iron from its place. And they shall not lay down arms till Allah, the Mighty and Sublime is satisfied.”
