قلت: فولد ولد ولدك؟ قال: لا. قلت: ف٠اً وجوراً، لعلى فترة ٠ا أن النبي بعث على فترة ٠(38) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob al-Kulayni narrated from Muhammad bin Yahya from Ahmad bin Idreess from Muhammad bin Ahmad from Ja’far bin al-Qassim from Muhammad bin al-Waleed al-Khazzaz from al-Waleed bin Aqaba from al-Harith bin Ziyad that Shu’ayb bin Abu Hamza had said: “Once I came to Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) and said to him: Are you the man of this matter?” He said: “No.” I said: “Is he your son?” He said: “No.” I said: “Is he your grandson?” He said: “No.” I said: “Is he your grandson’s son?” He said: “No.” I said: “Who is he then?” He said: “It is he, who will fill the world with justice after it has been filled with injustice and oppression.

He will come after a cessation of imams as (as) has been sent after a cessation of prophets.”
