The Book of Occultation — al-Ṭūsī · Hadith 366 (#Ḥadīth #15)

175- وروى سعد بن عبد الله عن داود بن قاسم الجعفري قال: كنت عند أبي محمد عليه السلام فقال: إذا قام القائم يهدم المنار والمقاصير التي في المساجد. فقلت في نفسي: لأي معنى هذا؟فأقبل علي فقال: معنى هذا أنها محدثة مبتدعة لم يبنها نبي ولا حجة.

H 175 - Saad bin Abdullah has narrated from Dawood bin Qasim Ja’fari that he said: I was with Imam Hasan Askari when he said: When the Qaim stages an uprising he will order razing of the minarets and maqsoorahs of mosques. I (the narrator) said: I wondered what it denoted. The Imam turned to me and said: It means that all these are innovations. Neither were they sanctioned by the Prophet nor his true successors.
