H 207 - In another narration on the authority of a number of great scholars, it says that Lady Hakima narrated this narrative and mentioned that it was the night of mid-Shaban and that his mother was Narjis. The narrative continues like the previous one until her saying
“There I was, sensing my Master and hearing the voice of Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) as he was saying, ‘O my aunt, bring my son to me.’ So I removed the curtains from my Master, and there he was, prostrating, touching the earth through his forehead, palms, knees and toes. On his right forearm it was written: “The truth has come and the falsehood has vanished; surely falsehood is a vanishing (thing).” (17:81) I pulled him to myself and found him pure and clean. He did not need any sort of attention. I wrapped him in a sheet and carried him to Imam Hasan Askari (a.s). They have mentioned the narrative the same way until his saying, “I bear witness that a god other than Allah is not and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and that Ali is rightfully Amirul Momineen (a.s).” Then he mentioned the Imams one by one until himself. He prayed for the relief of his devotees at his hands. Then he stopped. She says: “Then something like a veil was erected between me and Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) and I did not see my Master. I said to Imam Hasan Askari (a.s), ‘My Master, where is my lord?’ He said: ‘Someone who is worthier than you and us took him.” Then they have mentioned the whole narration and added: Forty days later, I came to Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) and there was our Master, the Patron. He was walking about the house. I had never seen a face more beautiful than his, nor heard any tongue more eloquent than his. Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) said: “This is the baby who is dignified before Allah, the Glorified.” I said: “My Master, I see him in this condition and he is only forty days old.” He smiled and said: “My aunt, don’t you know that we Imams grow in a day to the extent that others grow in a year.” I arose and kissed his forehead and returned. Then I came back and sought him, but did not see him. I asked Imam Hasan Askari (a.s), “What have you done to our Master?” He said: “Aunt, we have entrusted him to the one mother of Musa entrusted.”
207- وفي رواية أخرى عن جماعة من الشيوخ أن حكيمة حدثت بهذا الحديث وذكرت أنه كان ليلة النصف من شعبان وأن أمه نرجس،وساقت الحديث إلى قولها: فإذا أنا بحس سيدي وبصوت أبي محمد عليه السلام وهو يقول: يا عمتي، هاتي إبني. فكشفت عن سيدي فإذا هو ساجد متلقيا الارض بمساجده، وعلى ذراعه الايمن مكتوب ﴿جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقاً﴾. فضممته إلي فوجدته مفروغا منه فلففته في ثوب وحملته إلى أبي محمد عليه السلام…وذكروا الحديث إلى قوله: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله وأن عليا أمير المؤمنين حقا، ثم لم يزل يعد السادة الاوصياء إلى أن بلغ إلى نفسه، ودعا لاوليائه بالفرج على يديه ثم أحجم. وقالت: ثم رفع بيني وبين أبي محمد عليه السلام كالحجاب فلم أر سيدي، فقلت لابي محمد: يا سيدي، أين مولاي؟ فقال: أخذه من هو أحق منك ومنا… ثم ذكروا الحديث بتمامه وزادوا فيه: فلما كان بعد أربعين يوما دخلت على أبي محمد عليه السلام فإذا مولانا الصاحب يمشي في الدار، فلم أر وجها أحسن من وجهه ولا لغة أفصح من لغته. فقال أبومحمد عليه السلام: هذا المولود الكريم على الله عز وجل. فقلت: سيدي، أرى من أمره ما أرى وله أربعون يوما! فتبسم وقال: يا عمتي، أما علمت أنا معاشر الائمة ننشؤ في اليوم ما ينشؤ غيرنا في السنة؟ فقمت فقبلت رأسه وانصرفت. ثم عدت وتفقدته فلم أره، فقلت لابي محمد عليه السلام: ما فعل مولانا؟ فقال: يا عمة،استودعناه الذي استودعت أم موسى.
