٢٢٣- أخبرنا جماعة، عن أبي محمد هارون بن موسى التلعكبري، عن أحمد بن علي الرازي قال: حدثني شيخ ورد الري على أبي الحسين محمد بن جعفر الاسدي، فروى له حديثين في صاحب الزمان عليه السلام وسمعتهما منه كما سمع، وأظن ذلك قبل سنة ثلاثمائة أو قريبا منها، قال: حدثني علي بن إبراهيم الفدكي قال: قال الاودي: بينا أنا في الطواف قد طفت ستة وأريد أن أطوف السابعة فإذا أنا بحلقة عن يمين الكعبة وشاب حسن الوجه، طيب الرائحة، هيوب، ومع هيبته متقرب إلى الناس، فتكلم فلم أر أحسن من كلامه، ولا أعذب من منطقه في حسن جلوسه فذهبت أكلمه فزبرني الناس، فسألت بعضهم: من هذا؟ فقال: ابن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يظهر للناس في كل سنة يوما لخواصه، فيحدثهم ويحدثونه. فقلت: مسترشد أتاك فأرشدني هداك الله. قال: فناولني حصاة فحولت وجهي، فقال لي بعض جلسائه: ما الذي دفع إليك ابن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم؟ فقلت: حصاة. فكشفت عن يدي، فإذا أنا بسبيكة من ذهب، (فذهبت). وإذا أنا به قد لحقني فقال: ثبتت عليك الحجة، وظهر لك الحق، وذهب عنك العمى أتعرفني؟ فقلت:اللهم لا. فقال: (أنا) المهدي، أنا قائم الزمان، أنا الذي أملاها عدلا كما ملئت ظلماً وجوراً ، إن الأرض لا تخلو من حجة ولا يبقى الناس في فترة أكثر من تيه بني إسرائيل، وقد ظهر أيام خروجي، فهذه أمانة في رقبتك فحدث بها إخوانك من أهل الحق.
H 223 - A group of scholars has narrated from Harun bin Musa Talakbari and narrates from Ahmad bin Ali Raazi that he said: Once a venerable man in Rayy came to Abul Husain Muhammad bin Ja’far Asadi (a representative of Imam Mahdi) and narrated two incidents in connection with the Imam and I also heard them and I think that this occurred before 300 A.H. approximately. An elderly man narrated from Ali bin Ibrahim Fadki that Oodi said: “I was performing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. I had completed six rounds and was starting on the seventh, when I saw a young man on the right side of Kaaba and fragrance was coming from him. His awe had affected the people and they had surrounded him so that they may speak to him. I have not heard anyone speak in a more pleasant way nor seen anyone with a better demeanor. I went there so that I may also get a chance to speak to him, but the crowd pushed me back. I asked the people who he was. People said that he was the son of Allah’s Messenger, who comes here for one day every year to meet his special followers and to speak to them. I called out: My chief, I also want to speak to you, so that you may guide me. When he heard this, he threw some pebbles towards me, which I picked up. People asked: What did he throw to you? I said: Pebbles. But when I opened my fist, I saw that they were pieces of gold. I began to follow him till I joined him. He said: Now my proof is complete on you, the truth has become manifest and your blindness is gone. Do you know who I am? I said: No, by Allah. He said: I am the same Mahdi. I am the Qaim, who would fill the earth with justice and equity as it would be fraught with injustice and tyranny. Know that the earth is never without Divine Proof and people cannot remain on nature for more than the period Bani Israel remained in the Tiyah desert (for forty years). The time of my reappearance has arrived. What I have said is a trust with you, which you must convey to your Shia brothers.”
