Hadith 115
۞
H 55 - Bahar bin Ziyad has narrated from Abdullah Kahili that he said
I heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) say: If someone informs you that my son has fallen ill and that he has witnessed his death and attended his funeral, do not believe him, because there is no option, except that this matter should come to Imam Kadhim (a.s). Meanwhile Muhammad bin Ziyad Tamimi [a companion of Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s)], who was present in Mecca, heard this and said: O Abu Yahya (agnomen of Abdullah Kahili) by God, this is a great evil. Kahili replied: Part of God in this matter is greater, while he is an old man, he would be concealed from the people and he would return as a young man, and in this he would be following the practice of Prophet Yunus (a.s).
55- قال: وروى بحر بن زياد عن عبد الله الكاهلي
أنه سمع أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: إن جاءكم من يخبركم بأنه مرض ابني هذا وهو شهده وهو أغمضه وغسله وأدرجه في أكفانه وصلى عليه ووضعه في قبره وهو حثا عليه التراب فلا تصدقوه. ولا بد من أن يكون ذا. فقال له محمد بن زياد التميمي وكان حاضر الكلام بمكة: يا أبا يحيى،هذه والله فتنة عظيمة. فقال له الكاهلي: فسهم الله فيه أعظم،يغيب عنهم شيخ ويأتيهم شاب فيه سنة من يونس.
