Have they seen al-Mahdi (as) ?

'Ali Ibn Muhammad from Hamdan al-Qalanisi who said: "I asked al-'Amri, has Abu Muhammad (al-Askari) passed away? He said, yes, he has passed away but has left behind among you a person (the succeeding Imam) whose neck is like this. He made a gesture with his hand."
علي بن محمد، عن حمدان القلانسي قال: قلت للعمري: قد مضى أبومحمد (عليه السلام)؟
فقال: قد مضى ولكن قد خلف فيكم من رقبته مثل هذا، وأشار بيده.
- Usul al-Kafi, Vol.1, Page 331, Hadith Number 4
