Hadith 186
۞
185. Sahl, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from one of his men, who has narrated the following
Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘It is as if I (asws) am with Al-Qaim (asws) ascended upon the Pulpit of Al-Kufa having a gown from which he (asws) takes out a sealed letter sealed with a golden seal. So he (asws) opens it and reads it out to the people. They run away from him (asws) like the frightened sheep. So there does not remain any except for the heads (commanders). So he (asws) speaks by a speech and they do not find a shelter until they return back to him (asws). And I (asws) know of the speech that he (asws) will be speaking by’.
سَهْلٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَأَنِّي بِالْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام) عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ عَلَيْهِ قَبَاءٌ فَيُخْرِجُ مِنْ وَرَيَانِ قَبَائِهِ كِتَاباً مَخْتُوماً بِخَاتَمٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَيَفُكُّهُ فَيَقْرَؤُهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَيُجْفِلُونَ عَنْهُ إِجْفَالَ الْغَنَمِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا النُّقَبَاءُ فَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِكَلَامٍ فَلَا يَلْحَقُونَ مَلْجَأً حَتَّى يَرْجِعُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ الْكَلَامَ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ.
