️إذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ [مطففین/۱۳]
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, “Tales of the ancients!” (Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-MUTAFFIFIN, verse 13)
Imam Sādiq (pbuh) stated:
The above verse shows they [disbelievers’] denied Imam Qa`em (mgehr)
[Once] Abū Khālid al-Kābulī narrated from Imam al-Bāqir (pbuh): When Imam Qa`em (hgr) arises, he (hgr) goes everywhere and he (hgr) reaches Moor (which is located at Lower Yemen) There [Some people] inform him, ‘They murdered the governor whom you appointed [to rule] in Mecca!’ [So] Qa`em (hgr) returns to Mecca and just kills the murderers. […]
Imam Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated,
“As God tested [prophet] Moses (pbuh) `s companions by a stream, Qa’em (mgehr)’s companions will be tested [by something] too.”
Do you still remember the event of Imam Ṣādiq and the Khorāsāni man?!
Sometimes [they] ask if it is possible, that Imam Mahdī (mgehr) knows them but they do not know him?
The answer is yes
[As] It is stated in the Holy Qur`an, Prophet Joseph(pbuh) knew his brothers after about forty years of being thrown down to the well [by his brothers] till being given power[by the king of Egypt].
But they did not know him.
قالُوا رَبَّنَا أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ…[غافر/۱۱]
They will say: “Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life, and twice hast Thou given us Life! ….). (Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-GHAFIR, verse 11)
About the interpretation of the above verse, Ali Ibn Ibrāhīm said, “
Imam al-Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated, ‘This verse is about Raj`a.’
[Once] a group of our friends (Shiites), Harith and I were sitting in presence of Imam Ṣādiq (pbuh);
talking [quietly] about the advent of the Truth Government[Imam Mahdī (mgehr)’s]
The Imam (pbuh) heard us and stated,
‘What are you talking about?’
اصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ [ص/۱۷] Have patience at what they say, and remember our servant David, the man of strength: for he ever turned (to Allah).( (Holy Qur`an, Surah Sad, verse 17) About above verse, Abū Baṣīr said: Imam al-Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated, ‘اِصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونmeans: […]
The above verse shows they [disbelievers’] denied Imam Qa`em (mgehr)
As they will say to him (mgehr),’We do not know you. And you are not of Fatima (pbuh)’s descendants.’
Just like what polytheists said to Prophet Muḥammad (pbuh&h)!
…. If they had been apart,We should certainly have punished the Unbelievers among them with a grievous Punishment.
(Holy Qur`an, Surah AL-FATH, verse 25)
This is God’s destiny that [sometimes] disbelievers and hypocrites carry the deposits1of believers in their loins.
Hence Imam Ali (pbuh) didn’t kill their fathers [ancestors], in order for those deposits to be born [afterward].
️وأُخْرَى تُحِبُّونَهَا نَصْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فتح_قریب وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِين [صف/۱۳]
And another (favour will He bestow,) which ye do love,- help from Allah and a speedy victory. So give the Glad Tidings to the Believers. (Holy Qur`an, Surah AS-SAFF, verse 13)
Imam al-Bāqir (pbuh) stated:
By victory, it refers to the victory [Emergence] of Qa`em (mgehr) of Ale Muḥammad2 (pbu th) in the world.
