Al-Kafi 3601

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Salim Bin Salama who said, ‘A man recited to Abu Abdullah^asws and I was listening, certain phrases from the Quran, not being upon what the people are reading it. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Stop from this recitation! Recite it just as the people are reciting it as until the rising of Al-Qaim^asws. So when the Qaim^asws does arise, he^asws would recite the Book of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic upon its limits, and he^asws would bring out the Parchment which Ali^asws had written’. And he^asws said: ‘Ali^asws had brought it out when he^asws was free from (compiling) it, and writing it. So he^asws had said: ‘This is the Book of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majesty just as Allah^azwj had Revealed it upon Muhammad^saww’; and he^asws had gathered it from two Tablets. So they said, ‘It is that which is with us, a comprehensive Parchment, in which is the Quran. There is no need for us with regards to it’. So he^asws said: ‘But, by Allah^azwj! You will not be seeing it after this day of yours, ever! But rather, it was upon me^asws that I should inform you all when I^asws had gathered it, in order for you to be reciting it’.
