Then the Prophet (S) turned to Ja'far bin Abu Talib and said: “O Ja'far, shall I tell you of good news?” Ja'far said: “Yes please, O messenger of Allah.” The Prophet (S) said to Ja'far: “Gabriel has just been with me and told me that the one, who will deliver the banner to al-Qa'im, will be from your progeny.

He will enter into the mountain lowly and will come out of it nobly surrounded by Gabriel and Michael.” ثم التفت إلى العباس فقال: يا عمّ النبي، ألا أخبرك بما أخبرني به جبرئيل ؟ فقال: بلي يا رسول الله قال: قال لي جبرئيل: ويلٌ لذريتك من ولد العباس.

فقال: يا رسول الله أفلا أجتنب النساء؟ (أو قال: أفلا أجب نفسي؟) قال: إنّ علم الله قد مضى والأمور بيده، وإن الأمر سيكون في ولدي.
