Hadith 117
۞
H 57 - Sulaiman bin Dawood has narrated from Ali bin Abil Hamza from Abu Basir that he said
I heard Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) say: In the master of this affair [Imamate] are present four similarities from the practices of the prophets. A similarity with Musa bin Imran (a.s), a similarity with Isa bin Maryam (a.s), a similarity with Prophet Yusuf (a.s) and also a similarity with Prophet Muhammad (s). The similarity with Musa (a.s) is fear and anticipation; similarity with Yusuf is prison, similarity with Isa (a.s) is that it would be said with regard to him that he is dead; whereas he is alive and present; and finally a similarity with the Prophet of Islam (s), which is that he would stage an armed uprising.
57- قال: وروى سليمان بن داود عن علي بن أبي حمزة عن أبي بصير قال
سمعت أبا جعفر عليـه السـلام يقـول:في صـاحب هذا الأمر أربع سنن من أربعة أنبياء؛ سنة من موسى وسنة من عيسى وسنة من يوسف وسنة من محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم. أما من موسى فخائف يترقب، وأما من يوسف فالسجن،وأما من عيسى فيقال: مات، ولم يمت،وأما من محمد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فالسيف.
