(8) Ali bin Ahmad narrated from Obaydillah bin Musa al-Alawi from Muhammad bin Musa from Ahmad bin Abu Ahmad from Muhammad bin Ali from Ali bin Hassaan that Abdurrahman bin Kuthayr had said
One day I was with Abu Abdullah (as) and Muhzim al-Asadi was there too. Muhzim said, “May I be sacrificed for you! When will this matter, which you are waiting for, take place? It has been delayed too much.” He (as) responded: “O Muhzim, the ill-whishers have told lies, the hasteners will perish and the submitters will be saved and will be with us.”
8 - وحدثنا علي بن أحمد قال: حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى العلوي، عن محمد بن موسى، عن أحمد بن أبي أحمد، عن محمد بن علي، عن علي بن حسان، عن عبد الرحمن بن كثير قال
كنت عند أبي عبد الله يوماً وعنده مهزم الأسدي، فقال: جعلني الله فداك، متى هذا الأمر الذي تنتظرونه؟ فقد طال علينا. فقال: يا مهزم، كذب المتمنّون، وهلك المستعجلون، ونجا المسلمون، وإلينا يصيرون.
