Arabic text

126- وأخبرني جماعة عن أبي المفضل عن محمد بن عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري عن أبيه عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب عن موسى بن سعدان عن عبد الله بن القاسم عن المفضل بن عمر قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن تفسير جابر،فقال: لا تحدث به السفل فيذيعونه. أما تقرأ كتاب الله تعالى: ﴿فَإِذا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ﴾؟ إن منا إماما مستترا،فإذا أراد الله إظهار أمره نكت في قلبه نكتة فظهر فقام بأمر الله تعالى.

Translation

H 126 - A group of scholars has narrated from Abul Mufaddal from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari from his father from Muhammad bin Husain Ibn Abil Khattab from Musa bin Sadan from Abdullah bin Qasim from Mufaddal bin Umar that he asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) about the Quranic interpretation of Jabir and he said: “Do not mention the interpretation of these verses to those with decadent thinking as they would publicize it. Have you not seen the following verse in Quran? “For when the trumpet is sounded…” (74:8) Indeed one of us Imams will be in occultation and when the Almighty Allah wants to show His matter, He will inspire the Imam and he will reappear and stage an uprising by the permission of Allah.”
