Hadith 506
۞
H 284 - It is narrated from Saad bin Abdullah from Husain bin Isa Alawi from his father from his grandfather from Ali bin Ja’far from his brother, Musa bin Ja’far that he said
“You must continue to protect your religion for the sake of Allah, till the fifth descendant of the seventh Imam does not go into occultation. You must not lose it in any case. Occultation is definite for the master of this affair and it will be such occultation that even those who have faith in it will recant it. It will be a time of a tough examination from the Almighty Allah.”
284- سعد بن عبدالله، عن الحسين بن عيسى العلوي، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن علي بن جعفر، عن أخيه موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام قال
إذا فقد الخامس من ولد السابع من الائمة فالله الله في أديانكم لا يزيلنكم عنها أحد. يا بني إنه لابد لصاحب هذا الامر من غيبة حتى يرجع عن هذا الامر من كان يقول به، إنما هي محنة من الله امتحن(الله تعالى) بها خلقه. s
