Hadith 169
۞
(7) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated that Abdullah bin Atta’ al-Mekki had said
I said to Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as): “Your Shia in Iraq are so many and there is no one like you from among your family. Why do you not rise?” He said: “O Abdullah bin Atta’, you have given your ears to the fools. By Allah, I am not your man (the one, whom you think to be al-Qa’im).” I said: “Then who is he?” He said: “See whose birth will be vague to people, it will be him. No one of us, who is pointed at with fingers or circulated by tongues, unless he will be killed or will die.” The same was narrated by Muhammad bin Ya’qoob al-Kulayni from al-Husayn bin Muhammad and others from Ja’far bin Muhammad from Ali bin al-Abbas bin Aamir from Musa bin Hilal al-Kindi from Abdullah bin Atta’ al-Mekki from Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as).
7 - حدثنا محمد بن همام بإسناد له عن عبد الله بن عطاء المكي قال
قلت لأبي جعفر: إن شيعتَك بالعراق كثيرة وواللهِ ما في أهل بيتك مثلك، فكيف لا تخرج؟ فقال: يا عبد الله بن عطاء، قد أخذتَ تفرش أذُنَيك للنوكى! إي واللهِ ما أنا بصاحبكم. قلت: فمَن صاحبنا؟ فقال: انظروا مَن غُيّبتْ عن الناس ولادتُه، فذلك صاحبكم، إنه ليس منّا أحدٌ يُشار إليه بالأصابع ويمضغ بالألسن إلاّ مات غيظاً أو حتف أنفه.
