The prominent Shaykh, Zaiduddeen Ali bin Yunus Amili Bayazi[1]
says in the book of Siraatul Mustaqeem Ilaa Mustahaqul Taqdeem: I went
out in the company of more than forty persons for the Ziyarat of Qasim bin Moosa
Kazim (a.s.) and reached a place from where a distance of around a mile
remained from the tomb. I saw a rider heading to us and thought that he
intended to rob us. So we concealed from him what we were fearful for. When we
reached him, we saw the signs of his horse, but did not see him. I glanced
around the dome, but did not see anyone. We were surprised, inspite of the open
terrain and presence of sunlight. Thus, it is not unlikely that he might have
been the Imam of the Age (a.t.f.s.) or one of his representatives.

The author says: It will be mentioned that these
incidents prove the blessed existence of the Imam of the Age (a.s.) and the
implication of the Abdaal will also be mentioned and this Qasim is buried at a
distance of eight farsakhs from Hilla and scholars and religious people come
for his Ziyarat regularly. A report very similar to this is famous among Ahle
Sunnat that Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) said:

Thiqatul Islam, Kulaini has in the chapter of the
declaration for Imam Ali Reza (a.s.), narrated a lengthy traditional report
from Yazeed bin Salit from Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) on the way to Mecca. In that it is
mentioned that the Imam said: “O Abu Umara, I can inform you that when I came
out of my house, I gave my will to my son, so and so and in public. I allowed
my other sons to take part in my instructions with him, but I gave my directive
will to him in private and wanted him to be alone. Had it been upon myself I
would have placed my directive will with my son, Qasim because of my love for
him and sympathy. However, it is up to Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, who
places it (Leadership with Divine Authority) wherever He wants…and so on.[3]
And praise be to Allah.
