Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kamaaluddin wa Tamaamun Ni’ma Vol. 1 Chapter 26: Statements of Amirul Momineen (a.s.) regarding the occurrence of Ghaibat of the Twelfth Imam 1 - Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Husain -May Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah and Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari and Muhammad bin Yahya al-Attar and Ahmad bin Idrees, all of them from Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab and Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa and Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Khalid Barqi and Ibrahim bin Hashim, all of them from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal from Thalaba bin Maimoon from Malik Juhani.

And narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid (r.a.): Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan al-Saffar and Saad bin Abdullah from Abdullah bin Muhammad Taylisi from Mundhir bin Muhammad bin Qaboos from Nazr bin Abi Sarri from Abi Dawood Sulaiman bin Sufyan Mustariq from Thalaba bin Maimoon from Malik Juhani from Harith bin Mughirah Nasri from Asbagh bin Nubatah (r.a.) that he said: “I presented myself before Amirul Momineen Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) I saw that he was engrossed in some thought and marking with his blessed finger on the earth.

I queried, ‘O Amirul Momineen (a.s.)! What is the matter, I find you today in some perplexity, making signs on the earth, do you love this earth? He replied: I swear by Allah that it is not so. I have never befriended this world, rather I was reflecting about that son, the eleventh one from my progeny. He is the Mahdi (a.t.f.s.), who will fill the earth with justice and equity as it would be filled with injustice and tyranny.

There is an occultation for him in which some people will be deviated while others will be guided. I asked: O Amirul Momineen, would this come to pass? He replied: Yes, just as they are created and O Asbagh, I am telling you that they shall be the best of this Ummah with the righteous ones of this progeny. I asked: What will happen after that? He replied: After that Allah will do whatever He wants.
