Hadith 215
۞
(43) Ali bin al-Husayn al-Mass’oodi narrated from Muhammad bin Yahya al-Attar from Muhammad bin Hassaan ar-Razi from Muhammad bin Ali al-Kufi from al-Hasan bin Mahboob from Abdullah bin Jibilla from Ali bin Abu Hamza that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said
“When al-Qa’im (as) rises, people will deny him because he will come back to them as a young man. No one will remain believing in him except those, with whom Allah has made a covenant since the first creation.” In another tradition he had said: “It is a great affliction that when their man (al-Qa’im) appears to them young while they think that he is an old man.”
43 - حدثنا علي بن الحسين المسعودي قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، قال: حدثنا محمد بن حسان الرازي، عن محمد بن علي الكوفي، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن عبد الله بن جبلة، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبي عبد الله
أنه قال: لو قد قام القائم لأنكَرَه الناس لأنّه يرجع إليهم شاباً موفقاً، لا يثبت عليه إلاّ مَن قد أخذ الله ميثاقَه في الذرّ الأول. وإنّ مِن أعظم البلية أن يخرج إليهم صاحبُهم شاباً وهم يحسبونه شيخاً كبيراً.
