H 404 - It is narrated from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari from his father from Yaqub bin Yazid from Ali bin Hakam, from Hammad bin Uthman from Abi Basir that he said
I heard Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) say: “The similitude of our Order in the Divine Book is the similitude of the owner of the donkey; Allah made him die for a hundred a years and then raised him up again.”
404- وروى محمد بن عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أبيه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن علي بن الحكم، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن أبي بصير قال
سمعت أبا جعفر عليه السلام يقول: مثل أمرنا في كتاب الله مثل صاحب الحمار؛ أماته الله مائة عام ثم بعثه.
