(9) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Malik from al-Hasan bin Ali bin Yasar ath-Thawri from al-Khaleel bin Rashid that Ali bin Abu Hamza had said: “One day I accompanied Abul Hasan Musa bin Ja’far al-Kadhim from Mecca to medina. He said to me: “O Ali, if the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth revolt against the Abbasids, the earth will be watered with their bloods (without defeating the Abbasids) until as-Sufyani rises.” I said to him: “O my master, is his rising inevitable?” He said: “Yes, it is.” He pondered for a while then he raised his head and said: “The rule of the Abbasids is based on cunning and deceit. It will go until it will be said that nothing of it has remained and then it will return as if nothing has happened.”
