Arabic text

19 - وبه عن محمد بن علي الكوفي قال: حدثنا يونس بن يعقوب، عن المفضل بن عمر قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله: ما علامة القائم؟ قال: إذا استدار الفلكُ فقيل: مات أو هلك، في أيّ واد سلك؟ قلت: جعلت فداك ثم يكون ماذا؟ قال: لا يظهر إلاّ بالسيف.

Translation

(19) Muhammad bin Ali al-Kufi narrated from Younus bin Ya’qoob that al-Mufadhdhal bin Umar had said: “I asked Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as): “What will the sign of al-Qa’im be?” He said: “When the orbit will turn and it will be said: Has he died, perished or which valley has he followed?” I said: “May I die for you! Then what will happen?” He said: “He will appear with the sword.”

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