H 403 - It is narrated from Fadhl bin Shazan from Musa bin Sadan from Abdullah bin Qasim Hadhrami from Abi Saeed Khurasani that he said
I asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s), “Why is he named as Qaim?” He said: “Because he will rise after his name dies. He will establish a mighty enterprise. He will rise up by the command of Allah, the Glorified.”
403- الفضل بن شاذان، عن موسى بن سعدان، عن عبد الله بن قاسم الحضرمي، عن أبي سعيد الخراساني قال
قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: لأي شيء سمي القائم؟ قال: لأنه يقوم بعدما يموت، إنه يقوم بأمر عظيم يقوم بأمر الله سبحانه.
