عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي عَلَى رَأْسِ جَبَلٍ وَ النَّاسُ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كَثُرُوا عَلَيْهِ تَطَاوَلَ بِهِمْ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ جَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَتَسَاقَطُونَ عَنْهُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا عِصَابَةٌ يَسِيرَةٌ فَفُعِلَ ذَلِكَ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ يَتَسَاقَطُ عَنْهُ النَّاسُ وَ يَبْقَى تِلْكَ الْعِصَابَةُ أَمَا إِنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ فِي تِلْكَ الْعِصَابَةِ قَالَ فَمَا مَكَثَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا نَحْواً مِنْ خَمْسٍ حَتَّى هَلَكَ.

Translation

206. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al-Halby, from Ibn Muskaan, from Zurara, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said: ‘I (asws) saw (in a dream) as if I (asws) am on top of a mountain, and the people are climbing up from all sides, to the extent that they were many of them, and it prolonged by them in the sky, and the people started falling off from it from all sides until there did not remain among them any one except for a small group. So they made an attempt five times, and during each of that the people fell off from it and there did not remain except for a (small) group. As for Qays Bin Abdullah Bin Ajlaan, he was in that group’. He (the narrator) said: ‘He (asws) did not remain after that except for about five (days) until he (asws) passed away’.
