عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ النَّبَّالِ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ النَّاسُ تُطْوَى لَنَا الْأَرْضُ بِاللَّيْلِ كَيْفَ تُطْوَى قَالَ هَكَذَا ثُمَّ عَطَفَ ثَوْبَهُ.


490. A number of our companions, Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from Sayf Bin Umeyra, from Basheer Al-Nabaal, from Humraan Bin Ayn who said: I said to Abu Ja’far (a.s), ‘The people are saying the earth would fold up for us at night, how it would fold up?’ He (a.s) said: ‘Like this’, then folded his (a.s) cloth’.
