Arabic text

23 - أخبرنا محمد بن همام، قال: حدثنا أبو علي الحسن بن علي بن عيسى القوهستاني قال: حدثنا بدر بن إسحاق بن بدر الأنماطي في سوق الليل بمكة - وكان شيخاً نفيساً من إخواننا الفاضلين، وكان من أهل قزوين - في سنة خمس وستين ومائتين قال: حدثني أبي إسحاق بن بدر، قال حدثني جدي بدر بن عيسى، قال سألت أبي عيسى بن موسى - وكان رجلا مهيبا - فقلت له: مَن أدركتَ من التابعين؟ فقال: ما أدري ما تقول لي ولكني كنت بالكوفة، فسمعت شيخاً في جامعها يتحدث عن عبد خير، قال: سمعت أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب صلوات الله عليه يقول: قال لي رسول الله: يا عليُّ، الأئمة الراشدون المهتدون المعصومون من ولدك أحدَ عشر إماماً وأنت أولهم، وآخرُهم اسمه اسمي، يخرج فيملأُ الأرضَ عدلاً كما مُلئت جوراً وظُلماً، يأتيه الرجل والمال كدس، فيقول: يا مهدي أعطني، فيقول: خذ.

Translation

(23) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Abu Ali al-Hasan bin Ali bin Eessa al-Qoohistani from Badr bin Iss’haq bin Badr al-Anmati from his father that his grandfather Badr bin Eessa had said: Once I asked my father, who was a very respectable man: “Whom have you met of the successors of the Prophet’s companions?” He said: “I do not know what you say but once I was in Kufa and heard an old man in the mosque talking about a good man. He said: “I have heard Amirul Mo’mineen Ali bin Abu Talib (as) saying: The Prophet (S) has said to me: O Ali, the infallible guided imams of your progeny are eleven ones and you are the first of them. The name of the last of them is like my name. He will appear to fill the world with justice and equity after it has been filled with injustice and oppression. People will come to him asking for money, which will be accumulated. He will say to them: “Take (as you like)!”
