54- قال وحدثني حنان عن أبي عبد الرحمن المسعودي قال حدثنا المنهال بن عمرو عن أبي عبد الله النعمان عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: صاحب الأمر يسجن حينا ويموت حينا ويهرب حينا.
<p class='libAr' dir='rtl'>فأول ما فيه أنه قال يموت حينا،وذلك خلاف مذهب الواقفة فأما الهرب فإنما صح ذلك فيمن ندعيه نحن دون من يذهبون إليه لأن أبا الحسن موسى عليه السلام ما علمنا أنه هرب وإنما هو شيء يدعونه لا يوافقهم عليه أحد ونحن يمكننا أن نتأول قوله يموت حينا بأن نقول يموت ذكره.Explanation: The first objection against this report is that he says: ‘die at a time’ this statement is itself against the belief of Waqifiya [who have reasoned through this report]. As for [the second objection regarding] flight, this part of the report is correct, because we also believe as such [that he was freed from the clutches of Bani Abbas through death] and not what the Waqifiya claim. With reference to the fact that no source has mentioned that the Imam escaped from prison and this is something, which they have claimed and no one supports their statement. But we can interpret the words ‘he will die once’ to mean that a time will come when his remembrance and mention will die [like it would happen in case of Imam Mahdi عليه السلام].
