دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ جَمَاعَةً فَقُلْنَا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نُرِيدُ الْعِرَاقَ فَأَوْصِنَا فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) لِيُقَوِّ شَدِيدُكُمْ ضَعِيفَكُمْ وَ لْيَعُدْ غَنِيُّكُمْ عَلَى فَقِيرِكُمْ وَ لَا تَبُثُّوا سِرَّنَا وَ لَا تُذِيعُوا أَمْرَنَا وَ إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ عَنَّا حَدِيثٌ فَوَجَدْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ شَاهِداً أَوْ شَاهِدَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَخُذُوا بِهِ وَ إِلَّا فَقِفُوا عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ رُدُّوهُ إِلَيْنَا حَتَّى يَسْتَبِينَ لَكُمْ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْمُنْتَظِرَ لِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ وَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ قَائِمَنَا فَخَرَجَ مَعَهُ فَقَتَلَ عَدُوَّنَا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ عِشْرِينَ شَهِيداً وَ مَنْ قُتِلَ مَعَ قَائِمِنَا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ خَمْسَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ شَهِيداً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from a man, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘We went over to him<sup>asws</sup> as a group, so we said, ‘O son<sup>asws</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! We want (to go to) Al-Iraq, so advise us’. So Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Let your strong ones strengthen your weak ones, and let your rich ones assist your poor ones, and neither divulge our<sup>asws</sup> secrets nor broadcast our<sup>asws</sup> matter. And, whenever a Hadeeth comes to you from us<sup>asws</sup>, and you find a proof over it, or two proofs from the Book of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, then take with it, or else, pause during it, then refer it back to us<sup>asws</sup> until it is clarified for you. And know that the one awaiting for this matter (rising of Al-Qaim<sup>asws</sup>), for him would be a Recompense like for the Fasting one (during the day), the standing one (for the Salat during the night). And the one who comes across our<sup>asws</sup> Qaim<sup>asws</sup>, so he goes out with him<sup>asws</sup> and kills our<sup>asws</sup> enemies, for him would be a Recompense like for twenty martyrs. And the one who is killed with our<sup>asws</sup> Qaim<sup>asws</sup>, would have for him a Recompense like for twenty five martyrs’.
