(16) Ali bin Ahmad narrated from Obaydillah bin Musa from Muhammad bin Musa from Ahmad bin Abu Ahmad, who was known as Abu Ja’far al-Warraq, from Issma’eel bin Ayyash from Muhajir bin Hakeem from al-Mugheera bin Sa’eed that Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as) had said
“Amirul Mo’mineen (as) said: “When the two spears (two armies) disagree in Sham, it will not come to an end except with a sign of Allah.” He was asked: “What is it, O Amirul Mo’mineen (as)?” He said: “It is an earthquake in Sham, by which more than one hundred thousands of people will perish. Allah will make it as mercy to the believers and torment upon the disbelievers. When that occurs, you will see the riders of the gray horses with the yellow banners coming from the west until they stop at Sham. There will be great terror and red death. Then you will see a sinking of one of the villages of Damascus called Harasta. Then the son of the livers-eater will come out of the dry valley to sit on the minbar of Damascus. After that you expect the appearance of al-Mahdi (aj).”
16 - أخبرنا علي بن أحمد، عن عبيد الله بن موسى، عن محمد بن موسى، قال أخبرني أحمد بن أبي أحمد المعروف بأبي جعفر الوراق، عن إسماعيل بن عياش، عن مهاجر بن حكيم، عن المغيرة بن سعيد، عن أبي جعفر الباقر
أنه قال: قال أمير المؤمنين: إذا أختلف الرمحان بالشام لم تنجلِ إلاّ عن آية من آيات الله. قيل: وما هي يا أمير المؤمنين؟ قال: رجفة تكون بالشام يهلك فيها أكثر من مائة ألف، يجعلها الله رحمة للمؤمنين وعذاباً على الكافرين، فإذا كان ذلك فانظروا إلى أصحاب البراذين الشهب المحذوفة والرايات الصفر، تقبل من المغرب حتى تحل بالشام، وذلك عند الجزع الأكبر والموت الأحمر، فإذا كان ذلك فانظروا خسف قرية من دمشق يقال لها حرستا، فإذا كان ذلك خرج ابن آكلة الأكباد من الوادي اليابس حتى يستوي على منبر دمشق فإذا كان ذلك فانتظروا خروج المهدي .
