(5) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed narrated from al-Qassim bin Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Hazim from Obayss bin Hisham from Abdullah bin Jibilla from Ibraheem bin al-Mustaneer from al-Mufadhdhal bin Umar al-Ju’fi that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said
“The man of this matter disappears twice. The first one lasts long until some people say that he has died, some say that he has been killed and others say that he has gone. None of his companions will still believe in him except a very few people. No one knows his place except the guardian, who manages his affairs.” If there is no any other tradition narrated about the disappearance except this one, it will be sufficient for whoever ponders on it.
5 - وأخبرنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد قال: حدثنا القاسم بن محمد بن الحسن بن حازم من كتابه قال: حدثنا عبيس بن هشام، عن عبد الله بن جبلة، عن إبراهيم بن المستنير عن المفضل بن عمر الجعفي، عن أبي عبد الله الصادق قال
إنّ لصاحب هذا الأمر غيبتين إحداهما تطول حتى يقول بعضهم: ماتَ، وبعضهم يقول: قُتل، وبعضهم يقول: ذهبَ، فلا يبقى على أمره من أصحابه إلاّ نفر يسيرٌ، لا يطلع على موضعه أحدٌ من وليّ ولا غيره إلاّ المولى الذي يلى أمره.
