‘I said to Abu Abdullah (asws) the Statement of the Blessed and the High (azwj): “[16:38] And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies. Yea! it is a promise binding on Him, quite true, but most people do not know”, he (asws) said: ‘O Abu Baseer! What do you (peopl

‘I heard Abu Ja’far (asws) saying regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[21:12] Yet, when they felt Our Punishment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it.

I said Abu Ja’far (asws), ‘May Allah (azwj) Keep you (asws) well. We have left our markets (businesses) so as to wait for this matter (Al-Qaim (asws)), to the extent that one of us is about to ask by his hand (beg)’. He (asws) said: ‘O Abu Abdul Hameed, Have you see that the one who confines himself to Allah (azwj) tha

Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement: “[17:4] And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice”, he (asws) said: ‘The killing of Ali (asws) Bin Abu Talib (asws) and the stabbing of Al-Hassan (asws)’. “and most certainly you will behave insolentl

‘Two Signs would occur before the rising of Al-Qaim (asws) which have never occurred since the descent of Adam (as) to the earth – A solar eclipse in the middle of the Month of Ramadhan, and the lunar (eclipse) at the end of it’. So a man said, ‘O son (asws) of the Rasool! The sun gets eclipsed at the end of the month,

‘When Al-Qaim (asws) makes the stand, he (asws) will present the Faith to every Hostile One (Nasibi). Either they enter in it truly or else his neck would be struck, or he will have to hand over the tax just as the people under responsibility (Ahl Al-Dhimma – Christians and Jews) pay today, and tighten their waist and

"If one of you wishes for the Qā'im, let him wish for him in protection (for everyone), for indeed Allah sent Muḥammad (saw) as a mercy, and He will send the Qā'im as a wrath."

329. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-kufy, from Al-Abbas Bin Aamir, from Al-Rabi’e Bin Muhammad Al-Muslyy, from Abu Al-Rabi’e who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying that: ‘When our Qaim (asws) makes a stand, Allah (azwj) will extend the hearing of our (asws) Shites, and their vision to the extent tha

وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْرُجُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَّا قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ الْقَائِمِ ع إِلَّا كَانَ مَثَلُهُ مَثَلَ فَرْخٍ طَارَ مِنْ وَكْرِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَويَ جَنَاحَاهُ فَأَخَذَهُ الصِّبْيَانُ فَعَبِثُوا بِهِ.

Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) has said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! There will not come out any one from us (asws) before the coming out of Al-Qaim (asws) except that his example would be of a nestling trying to come out from its nest before its wings have been formed, so the young boys grab hold of it and play with it’.

Abu Ja’far (asws) regarding the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[38:86] Say: “No reward do I ask of you for this nor am I a pretender [38:87] It is nothing but a reminder to the nations”. He (asws) said: ‘It (the Reminder) is Amir-ul- Momineen (asws)’. “[38:88] And most certainly you will come to know about it a

"Abu Abdullah (asws) having said ‘Every banner that is raised before the rising of Al-Qaim (asws), so its owner is a tyrant who worships someone apart from Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic.'"

‘There are five signs before the rising of Al-Qaim (asws) – The scream, and the Sufyani, and the sinking (of the earth), and the killing of the pure soul (Al-Nafs Al-Zakkiyya) and Al-Yamany’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), if someone from your (asws) Household comes out (in revolt) before these signs,

The differing of the Clan of Abbas is from the inevitable, and the Call is from the inevitable, and the coming out of Al-Qaim (asws) is from the inevitable’. I said, ‘And How would be the Call?’ He (asws) said: ‘A Caller will Call out from the sky at the beginning of the day: ‘Indeed! Ali (asws) and his (asws) Shites,

Hadith.1925 - Abd al-Karim ibn Amr asked Imam (as): "I have made a vow upon myself to fast until the Qa'im (as) rises." Imam (as) said: "Do not fast during travel, on the two Eids, on the days of Tashriq, or on the day of doubt."
