11. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn Qays from one of the security men jalawiza, plural of jilwaz, from the (al-Sawad) rural area of Iraq who has said the following.
“I saw Sima’(a man) soon after the death of abu Muhammad (a.s) in Surra man ra’a (a city in Iraq) who had just broken the door (of the tenth Imam (a.s.). He (the twelfth Imam) came out to him with an ax in his hand and said, “What are you doing to my house?” Sima said, “Ja‘far thinks that your father has passed away with leaving any son behind. If it is your house, I then get out.” He went out of the house. Ali ibn al-Qays has said, “A servant of the servants of the house came out to us and I asked about this new. He asked me, “Who has told you a such thing.?” I said, “A security man of rural area has told me.” He then said, “Almost nothing remains hidden from people.”
11ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ جَلاوِزَةِ السَّوَادِ قَالَ
شَاهَدْتُ سِيمَاءَ آنِفاً بِسُرَّ مَنْ رَأَى وَقَدْ كَسَرَ بَابَ الدَّارِ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِ وَبِيَدِهِ طَبَرْزِينٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا تَصْنَعُ فِي دَارِي فَقَالَ سِيمَاءُ إِنَّ جَعْفَراً زَعَمَ أَنَّ أَبَاكَ مَضَى وَلا وَلَدَ لَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ دَارَكَ فَقَدِ انْصَرَفْتُ عَنْكَ فَخَرَجَ عَنِ الدَّارِ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا خَادِمٌ مِنْ خَدَمِ الدَّارِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ فَقَالَ لِي مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ بِهَذَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ جَلاوِزَةِ السَّوَادِ فَقَالَ لِي لا يَكَادُ يَخْفَى عَلَى النَّاسِ شَيْ‏ءٌ.
