١٠ - وحدثنا محمد بن همام قال: حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مالك، قال: حدثنا عباد بن يعقوب، عن يحيى بن يعلي، عن أبي مريم الأنصاري، عن عبد الله بن عطاء قال: قلت لأبي جعفر الباقر: أخبرني عن القائم . فقال: واللهِ ما هو أنا ولا الذي تمدّون إليه أعناقكم، ولا يُعرف ولادته. قلت: بما يسير. قال: بما سار به رسول الله ، هدر ما قبله واستقبل.
(10) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Malik from Abbad bin Ya’qoob from Yahya bin Ya’la from Abu Maryam al-Ansari that Abdullah bin Atta’ had said: I said to Abu Ja’far al-Baqir : “Would you tell me about al-Qa’im?” He said: “By Allah, it is not me and it is not one, whom you stretch your necks towards. It is the one, whose birth will be unknown.” I said: “What will he do?” He said: “He will do as the Prophet (S) has done. He will annul all heresies that have been established before him and he will establish new principles.”
