Chapter: Islam began strange and returns strange 3 - وبهذا الإسناد عن ابن سنان، عن عبد الله بن ٠الك الجهني قال: قلت لأبي جعفر: إنا نَصِف صاحب هذا الأ٠ر بالصفة التي ليس بها أحد ٠ن الناس.

فقال: لا والله، لا يكون ذلك أبداً حتى يكون هو الذي يحتج عليك٠(3) The previous narrators narrated from Muhammad bin Sinan from Abdullah bin Miskan that Malik al-Juhani had said: “I said to Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as): “We describe the man of this matter (al-Qa’im) with the aspects that no one of the people has ever had.” He said: “No, By Allah, it is not so. It is he himself, who will argue with you about that and will invite you to it.”
