Arabic text

2 - أخبرنا محمد بن همام ومحمد بن الحسن بن محمد بن جمهور جميعاً، عن الحسن بن محمد بن جمهور، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن بعض رجاله، عن المفضل بن عمر قال: قال أبو عبد الله: خبرٌ تدريه خيرٌ من عشرٍ ترويه. إنّ لكل حقّ حقيقةً، ولكل صواب نوراً. ثم قال: إنّا والله لا نعُدّ الرجلَ من شيعتنا فقيهاً حتى يلحن له فيعرف اللحن. إنّ أمير المؤمنين قال على منبر الكوفة: إنّ من ورائكم فِتناً مظلمةً عمياءَ منكسفة لا ينجو منها إلا النومة. قيل: يا أمير المؤمنين وما النومة؟ قال: الذي يعرفُ الناس ولا يعرفونه. واعلموا أنّ الأرض لا تخلو من حجةٍ لله ولكن الله سيُعمي خلقَه عنها بظلمهم وجورهم وإسرافهم على أنفسهم. ولو خلَتِ الأرضُ ساعة واحدة من حجة لله لساخت بأهلها، ولكنّ الحجة يعرف الناس ولا يعرفونه كما كان يوسُف يعرف الناس وهم له منكرون. ثم تلا يَا حَسْرَةً عَلَى الْعِبَادِ ۚ مَا يَأْتِيهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

Translation

(2) Muhammad bin Hammam and Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin Jumhoor narrated from al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin Jumhoor from his father from some of his companions from al-Mufadhdhal bin Umar that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said: A tradition that you perceive is better that ten that you narrate (without perceiving them). Every truth has a fact and every rightness has a light. By Allah we do not consider a Shiite as a jurisprudent until it is mistaken before him and he notices the mistake. Amirul Mo’mineen (as) has said from upon the minbar of Kufa: “There will be dark, blind and dim seditions awaiting you, from which no one will be saved except the (nooma).” People asked: “What is the (nooma)?” He said: “It is one, who knows people but people do not know him.” Then he added: “Know well that the world will not be empty of an authority (Hujjah) from Allah but Allah will make His people not see His authority because of their injustice, oppression and excessiveness in disobedience. If the world remains without an authority (from Allah) for an hour, it will sink with its people. The authority knows people but they do not know him. It is like Prophet Joseph (as), who knew people but they denied him. “Alas for (My) servants! There comes not to them a messenger but they mock at him.”
