(13) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob narrated from al-Husayn bin Muhammad from Mu’alla bin Muhammad from al-Hasan bin Ali al-Khazzaz from Abdul Kareem bin Amr al-Khath’ami that al-Fudhayl bin Yasar had said: “I asked Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq if that matter (the appearance of al-Qa’im) had a certain appointment and he said:

“The diviners tell lies! The diviners tell lies! When Prophet Moses devoted himself to his Lord, he promised his people that after thirty days Allah would do away with their enemy. When Allah added ten days to the thirty, the people said that Moses had broken his promise and then they disbelieved and made a metallic calf as their god. When we tell you of something and Allah does as we have told you, you are to say that Allah has fulfilled His promise and when we tell you of something but a different thing occurs, also you are to say that Allah has fulfilled his promise. Then you will be rewarded twice.”
