2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله يَقُولُ تَظْهَرُ الزَّنَادِقَةُ فِي سَنَةِ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ وَذَلِكَ أَنِّي نَظَرْتُ فِي مُصْحَفِ فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا مُصْحَفُ فَاطِمَةَ قَالَ إِنَّ الله تَعَالَى لَمَّا قَبَضَ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) مِنْ وَفَاتِهِ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ مَا لا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلا الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَأَرْسَلَ الله إِلَيْهَا مَلَكاً يُسَلِّي غَمَّهَا وَيُحَدِّثُهَا فَشَكَتْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَحْسَسْتِ بِذَلِكِ وَسَمِعْتِ الصَّوْتَ قُولِي لِي فَأَعْلَمَتْهُ بِذَلِكَ فَجَعَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَكْتُبُ كُلَّ مَا سَمِعَ حَتَّى أَثْبَتَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مُصْحَفاً قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْحَلالَ وَالْحَرَامِ وَلَكِنْ فِيهِ عِلْمُ مَا يَكُونُ.

2. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz from Hammad Ibn ‘Uthman who has said that he heard Abu ‘Abdallah say the following: "The heretics will appear in the year one hundred twenty eight (745/746AD) because I have found it in the Mushaf of Fatima .” I asked the Imam, “What is Mushaf of Fatima?” The Imam said, “When Allah took the Holy Prophet ﷺ from this world, it caused such a degree of grief to Fatima that only Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, knows its extent. Allah then sent an angel to her to offer solace and speak to her. She complained about it to Amir al-Mu’minin Ali who asked her to inform him whenever she would find the angel speak to her. She then informed him when the angel came to speak. Amir al-Mu’minin Ali then would write down all that he would hear of the conversations of the angel so much so that his notes took the shape of a whole book.” The Imam then said, “There was nothing in it of the knowledge of the lawful and unlawful matters but it had the knowledge of things that had happened and things to happen in future.”
