حدثنا محمد بن الحسن قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار. قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد، عن عثمان بن عيسى عن صالح بن ميثم، عن عباية الأسدي، قال: سمعت أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام وهو مسجل وأنا قائم عليه: لآتين بمصر مبيرا ولأنقضن دمشق حجرا حجرا، ولأخرجن اليهود والنصارى من [كل] كور العرب، ولأسوقن العرب بعصاي هذه. قال: قلت له: يا أمير المؤمنين كأنك تخبرنا أنك تحيي بعد ما تموت! فقال: هيهات يا عباية ذهبت في غير مذهب يعقله رجل مني. قال مصنف هذا الكتاب - رضي الله عنه -: إن أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام اتقى عباية الأسدي في هذا الحديث وأتقي ابن الكواء في الحديث السابق لأنهما كانا غير محتملين لأسرار آل محمد عليهم السلام.
82.	We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed, from Uthman bin Isa, from Saleh bin Maitham, from ‘Abaya al-Asadi, that he said: I heard the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, while he was sitting and I was standing: I will surely come to Egypt to bring death, and I will surely come to demolish Damascus, stone by stone, and I will surely bring the Jews and the Christians out of all the nests of the Arabs, and I will surely drag the Arabs with this staff of mine. He said: I said to him: O Commander of the Believers, it is as if you are informing us that you will be revived after you die? He said: May such not be, O ‘Abaya. You thought into another direction of thoughts which a man from me knows. The compiler of this book, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Indeed, the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, used Taqiya with ‘Abaya al-Asadi in this narration, and he used Taqiya with Ibn al-Kawra’ in the previous narration, because they could not bear the secrets of the Family of Muhammed, peace be upon them.
