(12) Ali bin Ahmad narrated from Obaydillah bin Musa al-Alawi from Ali bin Issma’eel al-Ash’ari from Hammad bin Eessa from Ibraheem bin Umar al-Yamani from someone that Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) had said
“O Shia of Muhammad’s progeny, you are going to be tested like the kohl in the eye. One knows when the kohl is put into his eye but he does not know when it gets out of it. Just in the same way that one believes in our matter in the morning and recants it in the evening or he believes in it in the evening and when morning comes he recants it.”
12 - وأخبرنا علي بن أحمد، قال: أخبرنا عبيد الله بن موسى العلوي، عن علي بن إسماعيل الأشعري، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن إبراهيم بن عمر اليماني، عن رجل، عن أبي جعفر
أنه قال: لتمحصُنّ يا شيعة آل محمد تمحيصَ الكُحل في العين، وإنّ صاحب العين يدري متى يقع الكحل في عينه ولا يعلم متى يخرج منها، وكذلك يصبح الرجل على شريعةٍ من أمرنا ويمسي وقد خرج منها، ويمسي على شريعة من أمرنا ويصبح وقد خرج منها.
