۞
(7) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob narrated from some of his companions from Sa’d bin Abdullah from Ahmad bin al-Hasan from Umar bin Yazeed from al-Hasan bin Abur-Rabee’ al-Hamadani from Muhammad bin Iss’haq from Ossayd bin Tha’laba that Umm Hani’ had said
Once I met Abu Ja’far bin Muhammad al-Baqir (as) and asked him about (the meaning of) these verses, “But nay! I swear by the stars that recede, that run their course (and) hide themselves.” He said: “(The stars) that recede is an imam receding until his news is ignored by people in the year two hundred and sixty then he appears like a burning meteor in the darkness of night. If you live till that time, then your eyes will be delighted!”
7 - محمد بن يعقوب، عن عدة من رجاله، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن الحسن، عن عمر بن يزيد، عن الحسن بن أبي الربيع الهمداني، قال: حدثنا محمد ابن إسحاق، عن أسيد بن ثعلبة، عن أم هانئ قالت
لقيت أبا جعفر محمد بن علي الباقر فسألته عن هذه الآية فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ {15} الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ {16} فقال: الخُنّس إمامٌ يخنس نفسه في زمانه عند انقطاعٍ من علمه عند الناس سنة ستين ومائتين، ثم يبدو كالشهاب الواقد في ظلمه الليل، فإذا أدركتِ ذلك قرّت عينُك.
