Chapter 10 | Disappearance of the expected Imam
2 - وأخبرنا علي بن الحسين بإسناده، عن محمد بن سنان، عن أبي الجارود، قال: حدثنا أبو بدر، عن عليم، عن سلمان الفارسي أنه قال: لا ينفكّ المؤمنون حتى يكونوا كمواة المعز، لا يدري الخابس على أيّها يضع يده، ليس فيهم شرف يشرفونه ولاسناد يسندون إليه أمرهم.
(2) Ali bin al-Husayn narrated from Muhammad bin Sinan from Abul Jarood from Abu Badr from Olaym that Salman al-Farisi had said: “The believers come to a day that they become like the goats. The lion does not know which of them to catch. They will be with no honor nor will they have an assistant, to whom they refer their affairs.”
