Arabic text

116- سعد بن عبد الله عن الحسين بن عمرو بن يزيد عن أبي الحسن بن أبي الربيع المدائني عن محمد بن إسحاق عن أسيد بن ثعلبة عن أم هانئ قالت لقيت أبا جعفر عليه السلام فسألته عن قول الله تعالى: ﴿فَلاَأُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ. الْجَوارِ الْكُنَّسِ.﴾ فقال: إمام يخنس في زمانه عند انقطاع من علمه عند الناس، سنة ستين ومائتين، ثم يبدو كالشهاب الوقاد. فإن أدركت ذلك قرت عينك.

Translation

H 116 - Saad bin Abdullah has narrated from Husain bin Umar bin Yazid from Abil Hasan bin Abi Rabi Madayani from Muhammad bin Ishaq from Usaid bin Thalaba from Umme Hani that she said: I met Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) and asked him about the verse: “But nay! I swear by the stars that run their course (and) hide themselves.” (81:15-16) He replied: “An Imam who will go into hiding, when all who know him will be gone, in the year two hundred and sixty and then he will appear like a blazing meteor in the darkness of the night. If one lives till that time, he would find solace.”
