A number of our companions have narrated from Ja`far b. Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al- Rayyan b. as-Salt.

He said: I heard Abu al-Hasan ar-Rida عليه السلام say – when asked about the Qa’im – he said: His body will not be seen, and his name will not be named. (al-Kafi, Volume 1, hadith 876)

(apparently muwathaq) (موثق على ظاهر)



Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. al-Husayn from al-Hasan b. Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Abu `Abdillah عليه السلام.

He said: The Patron of this Affair is one whom none names by his name except a kafir. (al-Kafi, Volume 1, hadith 877)
