380. And from him, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Al-Jaroud, similar to it. He said, ‘I said to Ali Bin Al-Hakam, ‘The dead goat (what does it mean)?’ He said, ‘That which has become the same, and there is no preference for one over the other’.

381. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Ays Bin Al-Qasim who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘It is upon you to fear Allah (azwj), One with no associates to Him (azwj), and look into yourselves, for, by Allah (azwj), the man who has sheep and the shepherd for it, if he finds a man who is more knowledgeable about the sheep than him, would let him go and come to that man who is more knowledgeable about his sheep. By Allah (azwj)! If one of you had two souls, he could have fought with one, experimenting by it, then he would have worked with the other one with what has been clarified for it. But, for him there is only one soul, if it goes, by Allah (azwj), the repentance goes (with it). So you are more deserving that you should choose for yourselves the one who comes to you from us (asws), and upon which matter you are coming out, and do not go around saying that Zayd has come out, for Zayd was a scholar, and he was truthful, and he did not call you for himself. But rather he called to the pleasure (Al-Ridha) from the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww), and had he made an appearance he would have been loyal to what he called you to. But rather, he came out against an authority to break it. So the one who comes out from us (asws) today for anything, he will call you to the pleasure (Al-Ridha) from the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww). So we (asws) are testifying to you that we (asws) are not happy with it, and he has disobeyed us (asws) today. And there is no one with him and he with the banners and the flags, more worthy that he should listen from us (asws) except that with him would be gathered the children of Fatima (sa). By Allah (azwj)! What is your Master (asws) (Al-Qaim (asws)) except that there will be gathered around him (asws) in the month of Rajab. So go towards him (asws) in the Name of Allah (azwj), and if you would like to delay it to the month of Shabaan, so it is not harmful, and if you would like to Fast in your situations so that would be more strengthening for you, and let Al-Sufyani suffice for you as a sign’.

382. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e with an unbroken chain, has narrated the following: Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) has said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! There will not come out any one from us (asws) before the coming out of Al-Qaim (asws) except that his example would be of a nestling trying to come out from its nest before its wings have been formed, so the young boys grab hold of it and play with it’.

383. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usmaan Bin Isa, from Bakr Bin Muhammad, from Sudeyr who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘O Sudeyr! Be seated in your houses and remain calm, and stay like that overnight, and when the day arrives, and Al-Sufyani has come out, so get out to come to us (asws) even if you have to walk on your feet’.
