Arabic text

7 - محمد بن يعقوب، عن عدة من رجاله، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن الحسن، عن عمر بن يزيد، عن الحسن بن أبي الربيع الهمداني، قال: حدثنا محمد ابن إسحاق، عن أسيد بن ثعلبة، عن أم هانئ قالت: لقيت أبا جعفر محمد بن علي الباقر فسألته عن هذه الآية فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ {15} الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ {16} فقال: الخُنّس إمامٌ يخنس نفسه في زمانه عند انقطاعٍ من علمه عند الناس سنة ستين ومائتين، ثم يبدو كالشهاب الواقد في ظلمه الليل، فإذا أدركتِ ذلك قرّت عينُك.

Translation

(7) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob narrated from some of his companions from Sa’d bin Abdullah from Ahmad bin al-Hasan from Umar bin Yazeed from al-Hasan bin Abur-Rabee’ al-Hamadani from Muhammad bin Iss’haq from Ossayd bin Tha’laba that Umm Hani’ had said: Once I met Abu Ja’far bin Muhammad al-Baqir (as) and asked him about (the meaning of) these verses, “But nay! I swear by the stars that recede, that run their course (and) hide themselves.” He said: “(The stars) that recede is an imam receding until his news is ignored by people in the year two hundred and sixty then he appears like a burning meteor in the darkness of night. If you live till that time, then your eyes will be delighted!”
