1. I was told by Muhammed bin Ali Majilawayh, may Allah grant him mercy, from his paternal uncle, Muhammed bin Abi’l-Qasem, from Muhammed bin Ali al-Qurashi, from Hussain bin Sufyan al-Jareeri, from Salam bin Abi ‘Umra al-Azdi, from Ma’ruf ibn Khazbour, from Abu’t-Tufayl, that
he heard the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, say: Indeed, after me will be darkening, blind, doubt-causing, tribulations in which none will remain except for the sleeper. It was said: O Commander of the Believers, and what is a sleeper? He said: The one about whom people do not know what is in.
حدثني محمد بن علي ماجيلويه - رحمه الله - عن عمه محمد بن أبي القاسم، عن محمد بن علي القرشي، عن الحسين بن سفيان الجريري، عن سلام بن أبي عمره الأزدي، عن معروف ابن خربوز، عن أبي الطفيل
أنه سمع أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام يقول: إن بعدي فتنا مظلمة عمياء مشككة لا يبقى فيها إلا النومة. قيل: وما النومة يا أمير المؤمنين؟ قال: الذي لا يدري الناس ما في نفسه.
