“I met Abu Ja’far (a.s.)…” and then he mentions a similar tradition, except that he said: Then Abu Ja’far (a.s.) looked at me when he had finished his words and said: “Did you memorize this or should I write them for you.” I said: “If you would like so, please.” Then he called for a sheet of skin or a paper and wrote it and gave it to me. Salim Ashal says: Hasin took the writing out to us and read it for us, saying, “This is the writing of Abu Ja’far (a.s.).” 1
Ghaibat Nomani: It is narrated from Muhammad bin Hamam from Fazari from Ibad bin Yaqub from Hasan bin Hammad from Abul Jarud from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) that he said:

I said to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “May I be your ransom, this matter has prolonged much, so much that our hearts have run out of patience and the grief is killing us.” He said: “When it reaches the highest level of despair and the severest point of grief, a caller will call from the heavens the name of the Qaim and the name of his father.” I said: “May I be your ransom, what is his name?” He said: “His name is the name of a messenger and his father’s name is the name of a successor.” 1

The author says: “When the riders march” means when the news spreads everywhere. “To pledge allegiance to the boy,” that is, the Qaim (a.s.). 1

He may perchance come after a period of absence of Imams, as the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) was sent after a period of absence of apostles.” 1
Ghaibat Nomani: Ali bin Ahmad has narrated from Ubaidullah bin Musa from some persons from Ibrahim bin Husain bin Zahir from Ismail bin Ayyash from Amash from Abu Wabil that he said:
Amirul Momineen (a.s.) looked at Imam Husain (a.s.) and said: “This son of mine is a liege, just as the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) named him a liege. Allah will bring from his progeny a man by the name of your Apostle, who will be similar to him in his creation and in his character. He will rise in a time of oblivion of the people, when the Truth will have died and perversion will be manifest. By Allah, if he does not rise, his neck will be severed. The dwellers of the heavens and its inhabitants will rejoice his rise. He is a man of broad forehead, high nose, thick abdomen, and large legs – his right leg bearing a dark mole – and his teeth are distanced from one another. He will fill the earth with equity and justice, just as it will be replete with oppression and inequity.” 1
