الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّكُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ رَحْمَةٍ اخْتَصَّكُمُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ كَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا نُدْخِلُ أَحَداً فِي ضَلَالَةٍ وَ لَا نُخْرِجُهُ مِنْ هُدًى إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَا تَذْهَبُ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَجُلًا مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ يَعْمَلُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ لَا يَرَى فِيكُمْ مُنْكَراً إِلَّا أَنْكَرَهُ.
597. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa’, from Abu Baseer, from Ahmad Bin Umar who said: ‘Abu Ja’far  said, when a man came up to him , so he said to him , ‘You  all are the People  of the Household of Mercy which Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has Specialised you  all with’. He  said: ‘That is what we  are, and the Praise is due to Allah (azwj) that we  do not enter anyone into misguidance, nor do we  take anyone out of Guidance. The world will not end until Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic would Send a man  from us  the People  of the Household, who  will act by the Book of Allah (azwj). He  will not see any evil among you all except that he  will forbid it’.
