قُلْتُ لِلْعَمْرِيِّ قَدْ مَضَى أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ لِي قَدْ مَضَى وَ لَكِنْ قَدْ خَلَّفَ فِيكُمْ مَنْ رَقَبَتُهُ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ.

4. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Hamdan al-Qalanisi who has said the following. “The narrator has said, ‘I said to al-‘Amri, “Has abu Muhammad (a.s.) left this world?” He said, “He has left this world but has appointed for (a Leader with Divine Authority) whose neck is like this. He made a sign with his hand.” (The hand gesture was an indication of Imam’s good health or perhaps age). *1. Al-‘Amri was the first of the twelfth Imam’s representatives.
