وحدثنا جعفر بن علي بن الحسن بن عبد الله بن المغيرة، عن جده الحسن، عن العباس بن عامر، عن موسى بن هلال الضبي، عن عبد الله بن عطا قال: قلت لابي جعفر (ع): إن شيعتك بالعراق كثير، ووالله ما في أهل البيت مثلك كيف لا تخرج؟ فقال: يا عبد الله بن عطا، قد أمكنت الحشوة من اذنيك والله ما أنا بصاحبكم قلت: فمن صاحبنا؟ قال: انظروا من تخفى على الناس ولادته فهو صاحبكم.

5- Al-Ghaiba of Sheikh Tusi: Abu al-Jārūd narrates from Abu Ja‘far, from his father, from his grandfather: Said the Prince of the Believers (a.s) on the pulpit, “A man shall come from my progeny in the latter days; he will be white with a touch of red, of a broad abdomen, with legs of ample width, and of high shoulders. On his back are two signs, one sign of the color of his skin and another like the sign of the Messenger (a.s). He has two names. One name will be hidden and the other proclaimed.

The one that will be hidden is Ahmad and the one that will be announced is M. U. H. A. M. M. A. D. When his standards will wave, the east and the west will be illuminated for him. He will put his hand on the heads of people, so there will remain no believer but his heart will be stronger than a block of iron and Allah will grant him the might of forty men. There will remain no dead, but that gaiety will reach him in his heart and in his grave.

The dead will be visiting each other and felicitating each other for the news of the rise of al-Qā'im (a.s). 6- Ikmāl al-Dīn: Through the same chain of narration from Muhammad Ibn Sanān, from ‘Amr Ibn Shamir, from Jābir, from Abu Ja‘far (a.s): “The knowledge of the Book of Allah, the Exalted, and the conduct of His Messenger (a.s) will grow in the heart of our Mahdi like the best growth of a plant.
