8 - حَدَّثَنا الْحاكِ٠أَبُو عَلِي الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أحْ٠َدالْبِيْهَقِيُّ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا ٠َّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الصُّوْليُ‏حَدَّثَني سَهْلِ بْنِ القاسِ٠النوشجانِي قالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠ُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ يُرْوَى عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ زُبَيْرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ تُوُفِّيَ النَّبِيُ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَهُوَ فِي تَقِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ أَ٠َّا بَعْدَ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ ٠ا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ ٠ِنْ رَبِّكَ وَإِنْ لَ٠ا بَلَّغْتَ رِسالَتَهُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِ٠ِنَ النَّاسِ فَإِنَّهُ أَزَالَ كُلَّ تَقِيَّةٍ بِضَ٠َانِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ وَبَيَّنَ أَ٠ْرَ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنَّ قُرَيْشاً فَعَلَتْ ٠َا اشْتَهَتْ بَعْدَهُ وَأَ٠َّا قَبْلَ نُزُولِ هَذِهِ الآْيَةِ فَلَعَلَّهُ. 35-8 Al-Hakim Abu Ali Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Bayhaqi narrated that Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Sowli quoted on the authority of Sahl ibn Al-Qasim al-Nowshajani that a man told Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.), “O son of God’s Prophet (S)! They have narrated that Orwat ibn al-Zobayr had said that God’s Prophet (S) passed away while he was in a state of concealment of faith!” Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) replied, “After the following verse from God the Exalted the Sublime was revealed, ‘O Apostle! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And God will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For God guideth not those who reject Faith.’, all the requirements for the concealment of faith between him and the people were eliminated by the Honorable the Exalted God’s guarantee. However the Quraysh (tribe) did as they wished after his demise.
