عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ عَلَى أَمْيَالٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَرَأَى فِي مَنَامِهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ فَصَلِّ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تُغَسِّلُهُ فِي الْبَقِيعِ فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ.


207. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammaad Bin Usman who said: ‘Abu Baseer narrated to me by saying, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (a.s) saying that: ‘A man who was miles away from Al-Medina, saw in his dream in which it was said to him, ‘Go and Pray over Abu Ja’far (a.s), for the Angels have performed his (a.s) washing in Al-Baqi’e’. So the man went, and found Abu Ja’far (a.s) to have passed away’.
