The Book of Occultation · Hadith 425 (#Ḥadīth #2)

3 - أخبرنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد بن عقدة قال: حدثنا علي بن الحسين التيملي قال: حدثنا الحسن ومحمد بنا علي بن يوسف، عن سعدان بن مسلم، عن رجل، عن المفضل بن عمر، قال: قال أبو عبد الله: إذا أذن الإمام دعا الله بأسمه العبراني فأتيحت له صحابته الثلاثمائة وثلاثة عشر قزع كقزع الخريف. فهم أصحاب الألوية منهم من يُفقد من فراشه ليلاً فيصبح بمكة، ومنهم من يُرى يسير في السحاب نهاراً يعرف بأسمه واسم أبيه وحليته ونسبه. قلت: جعلت فداك، أيّهم أعظم إيماناً. قال: الذي يسير في السحاب نهاراً، وهم المفقودون، وفيهم نزلت هذه الآية وَلِكُلٍّ وِجْهَةٌ هُوَ مُوَلِّيهَا ۖ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِ ۚ أَيْنَ مَا تَكُونُوا يَأْتِ بِكُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

(3) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed bin Oqda narrated from Ali bin al-Hasan at-Taymali from al-Hasan and Muhammad, the sons of Ali bin Yousuf, from Sa’dan bin Muslim from a man that al-Mufadhdhal bin Umar had said: “Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq said: “When the imam (al-Mahdi) calls out the azan, he will pray Allah with His Hebrew name and then his companions, who will be three hundred and thirteen men, will be permitted to join him. They will gather like the cloudlets of autumn. They will be the bearers of the banners. Some of them will be missed in their beds in the night and in the morning they will find themselves in Mecca. Some of them will be seen walking on the clouds during the day. They will be known by their names, their fathers’ names and their lineages.” I said: “May I die for you! Which of them is greater in faith?” He said: “It is those, who walk on the clouds during the day. They are the missed ones. About these companions Allah has revealed this verse, ‘Wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together.’”
