Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultationحَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام يَقُولُ فِي صَاحِبِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ أَرْبَعُ سُنَنٍ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ أَنْبِيَاءَ عليه السلام سُنَّةٌ مِنْ مُوسَى وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ عِيسَى وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ يُوسُفَ وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَأَمَّا مِنْ مُوسَى فَخَائِفٌ يَتَرَقَّبُ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ يُوسُفُ فَالْحَبْسُ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ عِيسَى فَيُقَالُ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَالسَّيْفُ. حدثنا أحمد بن زياد الهمداني رضي الله عنه قال حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم عن محمد بن عيسى عن سليمان بن داود عن أبي بصير عن أبي جعفر ع بمثل ذلك.
Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan - May Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari from Muhammad bin Isa from Sulaiman bin Dawood from Abi Baseer that he said: I heard Aba Ja’far say:
“In the Master of this affair are present practices (Sunnah) of four prophets: Musa, Isa, Yusuf and Muhammad (S). From Musa is being fearful for his life and his occultation, from Yusuf is the imprisonment, from Isa it is that it would be said: He is dead, while it would not be so. And as for the similarity with Muhammad (S) it will be his advent and rising up with the sword.”
Narrated to us Ahmad bin Ziyad Hamdani (r.a.) that he said: Narrated to us Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim from Muhammad bin Isa from Sulaiman bin Dawood from Abi Baseer from Abi Ja’far a similar tradition.
