(18) Ali bin Ahmad al-Bandaneeji narrated from Abdullah bin Musa al-Alawi al-Abbasi from Muhammad bin Ahmad al-Qalanisi from Ayyoob bin Noah from Safwan bin Yahya from Abdullah bin Bukayr that Zurara had said: I heard Abu Ja’far al-Baqir saying: “Al-Qa’im disappears and his kin (companions) deny him.” I said: “Why is that?” He said: “He fears.” And he pointed with his hand at his abdomen showing that he fears to be killed.”
