2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad who has said that Ishaq ibn Ibrahim al-Daynuri narrated to me from ‘Umar ibn Zahir from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.). He has said that
a man asked, “Is al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) is offered the Islamic greeting as the commander of the faithful?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “No, because that is the name that Allah had given to Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.). Allah had not given this name to anyone before him. No one will be called with this name except an unbeliever.” I then said, “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, what form of Islamic greeting would be offered to him?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “They will say, “Peace be up on you, O Baqiyya Allah (Allah’s reserved power to establish His authority on earth). He then recited, “If you are true believers then know that the profit which God has left for you is better for you (than what you may gain through deceitful ways). I am not responsible for your deeds.” (11:86)
2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّينَوَرِيُّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ زَاهِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنِ الْقَائِمِ يُسَلَّمُ عَلَيْهِ بِإِمْرَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ لا ذَاكَ اسْمٌ سَمَّى الله بِهِ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لَمْ يُسَمَّ بِهِ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ وَلا يَتَسَمَّى بِهِ بَعْدَهُ إِلا كَافِرٌ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ كَيْفَ يُسَلَّمُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ يَقُولُونَ السَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا بَقِيَّةَ الله ثُمَّ قَرَأَ بَقِيَّتُ الله خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ.
