حَدَّثَنَا 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 سُنَّةٌ مِنْ مُوسَى وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ عِيسَى وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ يُوسُفَ وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ فَأَمَّا مِنْ مُوسَى فَخَائِفٌ يَتَرَقَّبُ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ يُوسُفَ فَالسِّجْنُ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ عِيسَى فَيُقَالُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَالسَّيْفُ
Narrated to us my father; and Muhammad bin Hasan - may Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari from Muhammad bin Isa from Sulaiman bin Dawood from Abi Baseer that he said: I heard Abu Ja’far 
say: “In the master of this affair there are four points of similarity with four prophets. Resemblance with Musa, resemblance with Isa, resemblance with Yusuf and resemblance with Muhammad (peace be on them all). The resemblance with Musa is that he shall be fearing and awaiting, the resemblance with Yusuf is imprisonment, the resemblance with Isa is that it would be said regarding him that he has died while he would not be so and the resemblance with Muhammad is armed uprising.”
