إكمال الدين عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْعَلَوِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ نَجِيحٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَيِّدَ الْعَابِدِينَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يَقُولُ‏ فِي الْقَائِمِ مِنَّا سُنَنٌ مِنْ سُنَنِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ع سُنَّةٌ مِنْ آدَمَ وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ نُوحٍ وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ مُوسَى وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ عِيسَى وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ أَيُّوبَ وَ سُنَّةٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ص

(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ – Ali Bin Musa Bin Ahmad Al Alawy, from Muhammad Bin Hammam from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Nowfaly, from Ahmad Bin Hilal, from Usman Bin Isa, from Khalid Bin Najeeh, from Hamza Bin Humran, from his father, from Saeed Bin Jubeyr who said,

‘I heard chief of the worshippers Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws saying: ‘In Al-Qaim-ajfj from us-asws there are Sunnahs from the Prophets-as – a Sunnah from Adam-as, and a Sunnah from Nuh-as, and a Sunnah from Ibrahim-as, and a Sunnah from Musa-as, and a Sunnah from Isa-as, and a Sunnah from Ayoub-as, and a Sunnah from Muhammad-saww.

فَأَمَّا مِنْ آدَمَ وَ مِنْ نُوحٍ فَطُولُ الْعُمُرِ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَخَفَاءُ الْوِلَادَةِ وَ اعْتِزَالُ النَّاسِ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ مُوسَى فَالْخَوْفُ وَ الْغَيْبَةُ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ عِيسَى فَاخْتِلَافُ النَّاسِ فِيهِ وَ أَمَّا مِنْ أَيُّوبَ فَالْفَرَجُ بَعْدَ الْبَلْوَى وَ أَمَّا مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَالْخُرُوجُ بِالسَّيْفِ

As for from Adam-as and from Nuh-as, it is the long life; and as for from Ibrahim-as, it is the hidden birth and isolation from the people; and as for from Musa-as, it is the fear and the absence; and as for from Isa-as, it is the differing of the people regarding him-as; and as for from Ayoub-as, it is the relief after the afflictions; and as for from Muhammad-saww, it is the rising with the sword’’.[1]

إكمال الدين أَبِي عَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْكَاتِبِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّيْمَرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ‏ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْفَرَجِ فَكَتَبَ إِذَا غَابَ صَاحِبُكُمْ عَنْ دَارِ الظَّالِمِينَ فَتَوَقَّعُوا الْفَرَجَ

(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ – My father, from Al Himeyri, from Muhammad Bin Imran the scribe, from Ali Bin Muhammad Al Seymiry, from Ali Bin Mahziyar who said,

‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan-asws asking him-asws about the relief. He-asws wrote: ‘When your Master-ajfj disappears from the house of the oppressors, then anticipate the relief.[2]
