Hadith 51
۞
5. We were told by Mudaffar bin Ja’far bin Mudaffar al-Alawi al-Samarqandi, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Ja’far bin Muhammed bin Mas’ud al-Ayyashi, from his father, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Ahmad, that he said: We were told by Sulayman bin Khusayb, that he said: We were told by the truthful, that he said: We were told by Abu Jum’a, Rahma bin Sadaqa, that he said: A man from the sons of Umayya, and he was a heretic, came to Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, and said
The saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, in His Book: «Alif Laam Meem Ssaad», what thing did He intend with it? And what does it include of what is allowed and forbidden? And what does it include of what people benefit from? He said: Then Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, was angered because of that. Then he said: Hold, woe to you. The «Alif» is one, the «Laam» is thirty, the «Meem» is forty and the «Ssaad» is ninety. How much do you have with you? The man said: Thirty one and a hundred. Then Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, said to him: When the year thirty one and a hundred will end, the reign of your people will end. He said: Then we looked, and when the year thirty one and a hundred ended, on the Day of Ashura, the Blacks entered Kufa and their reign came to end.
حدثنا المظفر بن جعفر بن المظفر العلوي السمرقندي - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسعود العياشي، عن أبيه قال: حدثنا أحمد بن أحمد، قال حدثنا سليمان بن الخصيب، قال: حدثنا الثقة، قال: حدثنا أبو جمعة رحمة بن صدقة، قال
أتى رجل من بني أمية - وكان زنديقا - جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام فقال: قول الله عز وجل في كتابه: " المص " أي شئ أراد بهذا؟ وأي شئ فيه من الحلال والحرام؟ وأي شئ فيه مما ينتفع به الناس؟ قال: فاغتاظ من ذلك جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام، فقال: أمسك ويحك " الألف " واحد و " اللام " ثلاثون، و " الميم " أربعون، و " الصاد " تسعون، كم معك فقال الرجل: أحد وثلاثون ومائة. فقال له جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام: إذا انقضت سنة إحدى وثلاثين ومائة انقضى ملك أصحابك. قال: فنظرنا فلما انقضت سنة إحدى وثلاثين ومائة يوم عاشورا دخل المسودة الكوفة وذهب ملكهم.
