The traditions that indicate he is from the descendants (ṣulb) of Imam
Abū Ibrāhīm Mūsā b. Ja\`far, peace be on him

Comprised of 121 traditions

548. Ghaybat al-Shaykh[^1]: Imam Abū \`Abd-Allah al-Ṣādiq, peace be on
him, said in a lengthy tradition:

Our master (ṣāḥib) who is from the descendants (ṣulb) of this boy—and he
pointed towards Mūsā b. Ja\`far, peace be on them both—will appear and
will fill [the earth] with justice just as it will be filled with
injustice and unfairness. He will take over the world.
