H 316 - A group of scholars narrated to us from Abu Muhammad Harun from Muhammad Ibn Himam from Abdullah Ibn Ja’far that
In a certain year, after the demise of Imam Hasan Askari (a.s), we performed Hajj. I went to Ahmad Ibn Ishaq at Baghdad and saw Abu Amr with him. I said: “This Shaykh,” pointing to Ahmad Ibn Ishaq, “and he is a trustworthy and admirable man before us, has narrated to us,” such and such. I narrated to him all of the narrative, which we mentioned above on the account of the eminent position of Abu Amr. I said: “You are now someone whose word and truthfulness is not dubitable. I beseech you for the sake of Allah and the sake of the two Imams who have declared you trustworthy, have you seen the son of Abu Muhammad, who is the Master of the Age?” He wept and then said: “You cannot inform anyone with this regard as long as I am alive.” I said: “Sure so.” He said: “I have verily seen him and his neck is like this.” He wanted to say that he has the most beautiful and wholesome of the necks. I asked, “And the name?” He said: “You have been forbidden from that.”
316- وأخبرنا جماعة، عن أبي محمد هارون، عن محمد بن همام، عن عبد الله بن جعفر قال: حججنا في بعض السنين بعد مضي أبي محمد عليه السلام فدخلت
على أحمد بن إسحاق بمدينة السلام فرأيت أبا عمرو عنده، فقلت: إن هذا الشيخ- وأشرت إلى أحمد بن إسحاق-وهو عندنا الثقة المرضي، حدثنا فيك بكيت وكيت، واقتصصت عليه ما تقدم يعني ما ذكرناه عنه من فضل أبي عمرو ومحله، وقلت: أنت الآن ممن لا يشك في قوله وصدقه فأسألك بحق الله وبحق الامامين اللذين وثقاك هل رأيت ابن أبي محمد الذي هو صاحب الزمان عليه السلام؟ فبكى، ثم قال:على أن لا تخبر بذلك أحدا وأنا حي؟قلت: نعم. قال: قد رأيته عليه السلام وعنقه هكذا- يريد أنها أغلظ الرقاب حسنا وتماما–. قلت: فالاسم؟ قال: نهيتم عن هذا.
