“I asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s): O son of Allah’s Messenger, Amirul Momineen (a.s) used to say: There will be sedition till 70 A.H. and after that there will be peace and prosperity; but 70 A.H. has passed and we are still in problems?” Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) said: “O Thabit, it was initially fixed as 70 A.H., but meanwhile Imam Husain (a.s) was martyred and the Almighty Allah postponed it to 140 A.H. When we informed you about it, you publicized it and the Almighty Allah postponed it further and even we don’t know about the definite time.” “Allah makes to pass away and establishes what He pleases, and with Him is the basis of the Book.” (13:39) Abu Hamza Thumali says that when he asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) about it, he also verified that it was true.
