Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Kamaaluddin wa Tamaamun Ni’ma Vol. 2 Chapter 34: Statements of al-Kazim (a.s.) regarding the occurrence of Ghaibat 1 - Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan - May Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah from Hasan bin Isa bin Muhammad bin Ali bin Ja’far from his father from his grandfather Muhammad bin Ali from Ali bin Ja’far from his brother, Musa bin Ja’far (a.s.) that he said: “When the fifth descendant of the seventh Imam goes into occultation, for the sake of Allah protect your religion.

None of you must let go of your religion. O son, occultation is necessary for the master of this affair. So much so that even those who say that it is a test from Allah, they would also turn away from him.

And if in the knowledge of your forefathers there had been some other religion more correct and better than this, they would have followed that only.” I asked: “Master, tell us who is the fifth descendant of the seventh Imam?” He replied: “Son, your intellects are small, he cannot be accommodated in it.

Your understanding is so restricted that you cannot bear it, but if you live till that time you will indeed find him.” 2 -Narrated to us my father (r.a.): Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah: Narrated to us Hasan bin Musa Khashshab from Abbas bin Aamir Qasbani that he said: I heard Abul Hasan Musa bin Ja’far (a.s.) say: “The master of this affair is one about whom people will say that he is not born yet.” 3 -Narrated to us my father (r.a.): Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah: Narrated to us Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa from Musa bin Qasim from Muawiyah bin Wahab Bajali and Abi Qatadah Ali Ibne Muhammad bin Hafs from Ali bin Ja’far that he asked his brother Musa bin Ja’far (a.s.) that the interpretation of the words of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime: قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَاؤُكُمْ غَوْرًا فَمَنْ يَأْتِيكُمْ بِمَاءٍ مَعِينٍ Say: Have you considered if your water should go down, who is it then that will bring you flowing water?
