1 Ḥadīth

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ يَاسِرٍ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) رَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ كَأَنَّ قَفَصاً فِيهِ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ قَارُورَةً إِذْ وَقَعَ الْقَفَصُ فَتَكَسَّرَتِ الْقَوَارِيرُ فَقَالَ إِنْ صَدَقَتْ رُؤْيَاكَ يَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَمْلِكُ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ فَخَرَجَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالْكُوفَةِ مَعَ أَبِي السَّرَايَا فَمَكَثَ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ مَاتَ.


370. Al-Husayn Bin Ahmad Bin Hilal, from Yaser Al-Khadam who said: I said to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Ridha (a.s), ‘I saw (a dream) during the sleep, as if there was a cage in which were seventeen bottles. There was an impact upon the cage and the bottles broke’. So he (a.s) said: ‘If your dream is true, a man from my (a.s) Household would come out, govern for seventeen days, then die’. So Muhammad Bin Ibrahim came out at Al-Kufa along with Abu Al-Saraaya. So he remained for seventeen days, then died’.
