(14) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Malik from Ahmad bin Ali al-Ju’fi from Muhammad bin al-Muthanna al-Hadhrami from his father from Uthman bin Zayd from Jabir that Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) had said: “The advent of al-Qa’im (as) is like the advent of the messenger of Allah (as). If any of us, Ahlul Bayt, rises before the advent of al-Qa’im (as), he will be like a young bird that flies and falls down and then children play with it.”
