Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · A Discussion with a Man From Medina About the Length of the Ghayba
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الرَّقِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ هُدىً لِلْمُتَّقِينَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ قَالَ مَنْ أَقَرَّ بِقِيَامِ الْقَائِمِ عليه السلام أَنَّهُ حَقٌّ.
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Musa bin Mutawakkil from Muhammad bin Yahya al-attar from Ahmad bin Muhammad Isa from Umar bin Abdul Aziz from a number of people from Dawood ibn Kathir al-Riqqi from Abu Abdillah (Imam Sadiq) that he said regarding the verse: “Alif Lam Mim. This Book, there is no doubt in it, is a guide to those who guard (against evil). Those who believe in the unseen…” (2:1-3) He said: That the people who have faith in the unseen imply those people who believe in the reappearance of the Qaim and who consider it true.
