َّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ٠َّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْ٠َّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى جَ٠ِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ ٠َحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَ٠َالِيِّ قَالَ سَ٠ِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) يَقُولُ يَا ثَابِتُ إِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَدْ كَانَ وَقَّتَ هَذَا الا٠ْرَ فِي السَّبْعِينَ فَلَ٠َّا أَنْ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِ اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ الله تَعَالَى عَلَى أَهْلِ الارْضِ فَأَخَّرَهُ إِلَى أَرْبَعِينَ وَ٠ِائَةٍ فَحَدَّثْنَاكُ٠ُ الْحَدِيثَ فَكَشَفْتُ٠ْ قِنَاعَ السَّتْرِ وَلَ٠ْ يَجْعَلِ الله لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَقْتاً عِنْدَنَا وَيَ٠َا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَهُ أُ٠ُّ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ أَبُو حَ٠ْزَةَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِذَلِكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ. 1. Ali ibn Muhammad and Muhammad ibn al-Hassan have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa all from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from abu Hamza al-Thumali who has said the following. “I heard abu Ja’far (a.s.) say, “O Thabit, Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, had set up a time limit for it in the year seventy but when al-Husayn (a.s.) was murdered Allah’s anger became more intense on the people on earth. He delayed it until one hundred forty. When then spoke to you about it and you publicized this hadith and disclosed the secret. Allah thereafter has not set up a time limit for it available with us. Allah deletes whatever He wants and establishes whatever He wants, with Him is the original book.
