6 - أخبرنا سلامة بن محمد قال: حدثنا علي بن داود، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن، عن عمران بن الحجاج، عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي نجران، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن محمد بن إسحاق، عن أسيد بن ثعلبة، عن أم هانئ، قالت: قلت لأبي جعفر محمد بن علي الباقر: ما معنى قول الله فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ فقال: يا أمّ هانئ، إمامٌ يخنس نفسه حتى ينقطع عن الناس علمه سنة ستين ومائتين ثم يبدو كالشهاب الواقد في الليلة الظلماء، فإنْ أدركتِ ذلك الزمان قرّت عينك.
(6) Salama bin Muhammad narrated from Ali bin Dawood from Ahmad bin al-Hasan from Imran bin al-Hajjaj from Abdurrahman bin Abu Najran from Muhammad bin Abu Omayr from Muhammad bin Iss’haq from Ossayd bin Tha’laba that Umm Hani’ had asked Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali al-Baqir (as): “What is the meaning of the Qur’anic verse, “But nay! I swear by the stars that recede?” He said: “O Umm Hani’, it is an imam receding until his news will be ignored by people in the year two hundred and sixty and then immediately he will appear like a burning meteor in a dark night. If you remain alive until that time, then your eyes will be delighted!” The same was narrated by Muhammad bin Ya’qoob from Ali bin Muhammad from Ja’far bin Muhammad from Musa bin Ja’far al-Baghdadi from Wahab bin Shathan from al-Hasan bin Abur-Rabee’ al-Hamadani from Muhammad bin Iss’haq from Ossayd bin Tha’laba from Umm Hani’.
