(6) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed narrated from Muhammad bin Salim bin Abdurrahman al-Azdi from Uthman bin Sa’eed at-Taweel from Ahmad bin Sulaym from Musa bin Bakr from al-Fudhayl bin Yasar that Abu Ja’far al-Baqir had said: “Matters are of two kinds; pending and inevitable. The rising of as-Sufyani is inevitable that must occur.”
