[1/196] رجال الكشي: حمدويه بن نصير، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن النضر بن سويد، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن ابن مسكان، عن زرارة، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: رأيت كأني على رأس جبل، و الناس يصعدون عليه من كل جانب، حتى إذا كثروا عليه تطاول بهم في السماء، و جعل الناس يتساقطون عنه من كل جانب حتى لم يبق عليه منهم إلا عصابة يسيرة، يفعل ذلك خمس مرات، و كل ذلك يتساقط الناس عنه و تبقى تلك العصابة عليه، أما أن ميسر بن عبد العزيز و عبد الله بن عجلان في تلك العصابة فما مكث بعد ذلك إلا نحوا من سنتين حتى هلك صلوات الله عليه

1. [1/196] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh b. Nusayr from Muhammad b. Isa from al-Nadhr b. Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from Ibn Muskan from Zurara from Abi Ja`far عليه السلام who said: I saw in a dream as though I was on the summit of a mountain and the people were climbing to get to it from every side, when they increase in number – it [the mountain] stretches upwards towards the sky, and they begin to fall off it from all sides, until no one is left on it among them except a small group, this happened five times, and each time people fell away while that group remains, verily Muyassir b. Abd al-Aziz and Abdallah b. Ajlan are among that group [which remains]. So he did not remain long after that except something like two years and he died صلوات الله عليه 

[-/2] رجال الكشي: محمد بن مسعود، عن علي بن الحسن بن فضال، عن العباس بن عامر، عن أبان بن عثمان، عن الحارث بن المغيرة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قالا: قلنا لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: إن عبد الله بن عجلان مرض مرضه الذي مات فيه و كان يقول إني لا أموت من مرضي هذا فقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: أيهات أيهات إن ذهب ابن عجلان لا عرفه الله قبيحا من عمله، إن موسى بن عمران اختار قومه سبعين رجلا، فلما أخذتهم الرجفة كان موسى أول من قام منها، فقال: يا رب أصحابي قال: يا موسى إني أبدلك منهم خيرا قال: رب إني وجدت ريحهم و عرفت أسماءهم – قال ذلك ثلاثا – فبعثهم الله أنبياء

2. [2/-] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Masud from Ali b. al-Hasan b. Fadhal from al-Abbas b. A`mir from Aban b. Uthman from al-Harith b. al-Mughira from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام. They both [al-Harith and another] said: we said to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام: when Abdallah b. Ajlan fell sick – the sickness due to which he went on to die – he used to say [while sick]: I am not going to die because of this sickness of mine, so Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: how far! how far! [was Ibn Ajlan’s opinion compared to the reality], if Ibn Ajlan has gone then may Allah not acquaint him with any evil arising out of his actions. Verily Musa b. Imran chose seventy men from among his people, so when the earthquake overtook them Musa was the first to stand up after it, he said: O my Lord my companions! He said: O Musa I will substitute them with better than them for you, he said: my Lord! I have gotten used to their scent and familiarized myself with their names, repeating this thrice, so Allah resurrected them as prophets.
