Arabic text

8 - محمد بن همام قال: حدثنا أحمد بن مابنداذ قال: حدثنا محمد بن مالك، قال: حدثنا محمد بن سنان، عن الكاهلي عن أبي عبد الله أنه قال: تواصَلوا وتبارّوا وتراحموا، فوالذي فلق الحبّة وبرأ النسَمة ليأتينّ عليكم وقتٌ لا يجد أحدُكم لديناره ودرهمِه موضعاً. فقلت: وأنى يكون ذلك؟ فقال: عند فقدِكم إمامَكم، فلا تزالون كذلك حتى يطلع عليكم كما تطلع الشمس آيسُ ما تكونون، فإيّاكم والشك والإرتياب، وانفوا عن أنفسكم الشكوكَ وقد حذرتُكم فاحذروا، أسأل الله توفيقَكم وإرشادكم.

Translation

(8) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ahmad bin Mabindath from Muhammad bin Malik from Muhammad bin Sinan from al-Kahili that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said: “O people, interconnect and be pious and kind to each other! By Him, Who has split the seed and created man, that a time will come to you that none of you will find a place for his dinar and dirham.” Al-Kahili asked him: “And when will that be?” He said: “When you miss your imam and you remain so for a time until he appears to you like the sun while you are so desperate. Beware to doubt and suspect. Drive doubts away from yourselves. I have warned you, so be careful! I pray Allah to guide you and to make you succeed.”

Translation: Abdullah al-Shahin — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
