حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ (عليها السلام) إِلَى سَارِيَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ وَ تُخَاطِبُ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَدْ كَانَ بَعْدَكَ أَنْبَاءٌ وَ هَنْبَثَةٌ لَوْ كُنْتَ شَاهِدَهَا لَمْ يَكْثُرِ الْخَطْبُ إِنَّا فَقَدْنَاكَ فَقْدَ الْأَرْضِ وَابِلَهَا وَ اخْتَلَّ قَوْمُكَ فَاشْهَدْهُمْ وَ لَا تَغِبُ.


564. Humayd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maythami, from Aban Bin Uthman, from Muhammad Bin Al-Mufaddal who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (a.s) saying: ‘Fatima (s.a) went to a pillar in the Masjid, and she was addressing the Holy Prophet ﷺ: ‘Events and differences have occurred after you! Had you witnessed them, they would not have increased so much. We have missed you like the missing of the earth of its downpour of rain. And your people are in disturbance, so witness them and do not be absent’.
