Al-Kafi 15201

Translation

<a id="_Toc492473542">H 14860</a> – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Hashim, from Al-Fazl Al-Katib who said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-i">I</span> was in the presence</span> of Abu Abdullah^asws when a letter of Abu Muslim came to him^asws’. So he^asws said: ‘There is no answer to your letter. Exit from us^asws’. So some of us left the others. He^asws said: ‘Which thing are you walking upon, O Fazl? Allah^azwj does not Make Haste due to the hastiness of the servants. And removing a mountain from its place is easier than toppling a government whose term has not ended’. Then said: ‘So and so, son of so and so’ – until he^asws reached seven from the sons of so and so’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws, so what are the signs with regards to what is in between us and you^asws?’ He^asws said: ‘The earth will not depart (end), O Fazl, until the Sufyani comes out. So if the Sufyani comes out, so answer to us^asws (to our^asws call)’. And he^asws said it thrice: ‘And it is inevitable’.
