461- الفضل، عن ابن محبوب، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: خروج القائم من المحتوم. قلت: وكيف يكون النداء؟. قال: ينادي مناد من السماء أول النهار: ألا إن الحق في علي وشيعته. ثم ينادي إبليس لعنه الله في آخر النهار: ألا إن الحق في عثمان وشيعته، فعند ذلك يرتاب المبطلون.
H 461 - It is narrated from Fadhl from Ibn Mahbub from Ali bin Abi Hamza from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) that he said: “The rising of Imam Qaim (a.s) is an inevitable matter.” I asked: “How will it be announced?” He replied: “A caller will call out from the sky in the morning: Know that the truth is with Imam Ali (a.s) and his Shia. And then in the evening, Iblis will call out from the sky: Know that the truth is with Uthman and his followers.” At this time people of falsehood would fall into doubt.
