كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ وَ ذَكَرُوا سُلْطَانَ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) لَا يَخْرُجُ عَلَى هِشَامٍ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا قَتَلَهُ قَالَ وَ ذَكَرَ مُلْكَهُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ فَجَزِعْنَا فَقَالَ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ سُلْطَانَ قَوْمٍ أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ فَأَسْرَعَ بِسَيْرِ الْفَلَكِ فَقَدَّرَ عَلَى مَا يُرِيدُ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لِزَيْدٍ (عليه السلام) هَذِهِ الْمَقَالَةَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي شَهِدْتُ هِشَاماً وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يُسَبُّ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يُغَيِّرْهُ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِلَّا أَنَا وَ ابْنِي لَخَرَجْتُ عَلَيْهِ.

<a id="_Toc492473730">H 15040</a> – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hisham, from Anbasat Bin Bajaad Al-Abid, from Jabir, who has said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-w">‘W</span>e were in the presence</span> Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, and the authority of the Clan of Umayya was mentioned, so Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No one comes out (rebels) against Hisham except that he gets killed’. ‘And he<sup>asws</sup> also mentioned that his government would last for twenty years’. He (the narrator) said, ‘That grieved us’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is the matter with you? Whenever Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Intends to Destroy the authority of a people, He<sup>azwj</sup> Commands the Angel to quicken the pace of the orbit in accordance to what He<sup>azwj</sup> Intends to’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So we said to Zayd, ‘This is the discussion we had’. So he said, ‘I witnessed Hisham, and the Rasool Allah<sup>saww</sup> was insulted in his presence, so he neither denied that, nor did he change it. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Even if there is no one except for myself and my son, I would come out (in rebellion) against him’.
