Arabic text

102- وبهذا الإسناد عن محمد بن عبد الله بن جعفر عن أبيه عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى عن محمد بن الحسين عن أبي سعيد العصفري عن عمرو بن ثابت عن أبي الجارود عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: إني وأحد عشر من ولدي وأنت يا علي زر الأرض؛ أعني أوتادها وجبالها. بنا أوتد الله الأرض أن تسيخ بأهلها. فإذا ذهب الاثنا عشر من ولدي ساخت الأرض بأهلها ولم ينظروا.

Translation

H 102 - Through the same chains of narrators, it is narrated from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far from his father from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya [from Muhammad bin Husain from Abi Saeed Asfari] from Amr bin Thabit narrated from Abil Jarud from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: “O Ali! I, you and eleven of my descendants are the buttons of the earth, its pegs and its mountains. Due to us Allah has prevented the earth from swallowing its inhabitants. When the twelfth of my descendants will pass away, the earth will swallow all its inhabitants and they will not be given respite.”
