وحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ جَابِرًا ، عَنْ قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ الأَرْضَ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ لِي أَبِي أَوْ يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ لِي وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ سورة يوسف آية 80 ، فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ : لَمْ يَجِئْ تَأْوِيلُ هَذِهِ ، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : وَكَذَبَ.فَقُلْنَا لِسُفْيَانَ : وَمَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الرَّافِضَةَ ، تَقُولُ : إِنَّ عَلِيًّا فِي السَّحَابِ ، فَلَا نَخْرُجُ مَعَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ ، حَتَّى يُنَادِيَ مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ، يُرِيدُ عَلِيًّا أَنَّهُ يُنَادِي ، اخْرُجُوا مَعَ فُلَانٍ . يَقُولُ جَابِرٌ : فَذَا تَأْوِيلُ هَذِهِ الآيَةِ ، وَكَذَبَ ، كَانَتْ فِي إِخْوَةِ يُوسُفَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ "
Salamah bin Shabīb narrated to me, al-Humaydī narrated to us, Sufyān narrated to us, he said, I heard a man ask Jābir about the verse: {Thus I will never depart from the land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of Judges}[Yūsuf: 80]. Jābir said: ‘An interpretation has not come to me about these [verses]’. Sufyān said: ‘He lied’. We said to Sufyān: ‘What did he mean by this?’ [Sufyān] said: ‘Indeed the Rāfiḍah say, ‘Alī is in the clouds and we will not emerge along with he who will emerge from his children [the Khalīfah] until a caller calls from the heaven, meaning Alī: ‘Ride out along with so-and-so [meaning the promised Mahdī]’. Jābir said, ‘that is an interpretation for these verses’, and he would lie as they were regarding the brothers of Yūsuf, peace be upon him’.
