(17) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed narrated from Ali bin al-Hasan from Ali bin Mahziyar from Hammad bin Eessa from al-Husayn bin Mukhtar from Abdurrahman bin Siyaba from Imran bin Maytham that

Abaya bin Rib’iy al-Asadi had said: “Once we came to Amirul Mo’mineen . We were five persons and I was the youngest of them. I heard him saying: “My brother, the messenger of Allah, has said to me: “I am the last of a thousand prophets and you are the last of a thousand guardians. I have been entrusted with what they have not entrusted with.” I said: “People were not just to you.” He said: “It is not as you think, O my nephew. By Allah, I know a thousand words (facts, data, information…etc.) that no one other than me and other than Muhammad knows. People recite a verse from the Qur’an, which is (And when the word shall come to pass against them, We shall bring forth for them a creature from the earth that shall speak unto them, because people did not believe in Our communications) but they do not ponder on it deeply. Do I tell you about the end of the rule of the family of so-and-so?” We said: “Yes please, O Amirul Mo’mineen!” He said: “(when) killing an innocent sacred man on a sacred day and in a sacred place. I swear by Him, Who has split the seed and created man, they will not rule after that except for fifteen nights.” We said: “will something occur before or after that?” He said: “A cry in Ramadan, that will terrify the awake, awaken the sleepers and bring the girls out of their veils.”
