فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَبَقِيَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ لِي هَاتِ قُلْتُ...

So I said to him, ‘So there remains one (question)’. So he said to me, ‘Give’. I said, ‘So (what is) the name?’ He said, ‘It is Prohibited upon you that you should be asking about that nor will I be saying this from myself.

Thus, there isn’t for me that I should permit nor that I should prohibit, but it is from him -asws , for the matter with the ruling authority (Caliph Mu’tasim) is that Abu Muhammad -asws passed away and did not leave behind a son, and he -asws distributed his -asws inheritance, and it was taken by the ones who had no right to it with regards to it, and he -asws is with dependents who are roaming around.

There isn’t anyone bold enough that he should introduce himself to them nor give them anything. And when the name will occur, the seeking (from the ruling authorities) would occur, therefore fear Allah -azwj and withhold from that’.

[23] و عنه، قال: حدثنا المظفر بن جعفر بن المظفر العلوي السمرقندي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسعود، و حيدر بن محمد بن نعيم السمرقندي جميعا، [عن محمد بن مسعود العياشي، قال: حدثني علي بن محمد بن شجاع‏] ، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبي بصير، قال: قال الصادق جعفر بن محمد (عليهما السلام) في قول الله عز و جل: يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آياتِ رَبِّكَ لا يَنْفَعُ نَفْساً إِيمانُها لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمانِها خَيْراً: «يعني خروج القائم المنتظر منا».
