يؤْتىِ الْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَاءُ وَ مَن يُؤْتَ الحکمة فَقَدْ أُوتىِ َ خَيرًْا كَثِيرًا وَ مَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُوْلُواْ الْأَلْبَاب [بقره/۲۶۹]
Translation:
He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding. [The holy Quran, Sure Al-Baqarah, Verse269]
He said to them,
“Allah will test you at the stream: if any drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand is excused.” but they all drank of it, except a few… [The Holy Quran, Sure Al-Baqarah, Verse 249]
Imam Sadiq (pbuh) stated, “God tested Prophet Moses`s companions (pbuh) by a stream, Qaem1`s companions (hgr) will have the same test, too.” As God stated (in the Holy Quran, sure Al-Baqarah, verse 249), “Allah tests you with a stream!”
هوَ الَّذِیَ أَنزَلَ عَلَیْکَ الْکِتَابَ مِنْهُ آیَاتٌ مُّحْکَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْکِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِینَ فی قُلُوبِهِمْ زَیْغٌ فَیَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاء الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاء تَأْوِیلِهِ وَمَا یَعْلَمُ تَأْوِیلَهُ إِلاَّ اللّهُ و الراسخون فِی الْعِلْمِ… [آل عمران/۷]
He it is who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of
لَنَبْلُوَنَّکُمْ بِشَیْءٍ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَ الْجُوعِ وَ نَقْصٍ مِنَ الْأَمْوالِ وَ الْأَنْفُسِ وَ الثَّمَراتِ وَ بَشِّرِ الصَّابِرینَ [بقره/۱۵۵]
Translation:
We will surely test you with a measure of fear, hunger and a loss of wealth, lives, and fruits; and give good tiding to the patient. ( holy Quran, Sure Al-Baqarah, Verse 155)
Abu Basir narrated, “Imam Sadiq (pbuh) stated:
The features of Imam Mahdi (hgr) `s companions in Quran,
Prophet Messiah (pbuh)’s dissension in Quran,
Some of certain signs of the Emergence [of Imam Mahdi (hgr)],
الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بالغیب وَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاة وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ يُنْفِقُون. [بقره/۳]
Translation:
Righteous are those who believe in the Unseen [the occulted imam], maintain the prayer, and spend out of what we have provided for them [all the gifts by God] (Al-Baqarah, verse 3)
Imam Sadiq (pbuh) stated:
It refers to the very words that prophet Adam (pbuh) learned from his Lord and then he repented;
It was the time that he stated’ O’ God accept my penitence for the sake of Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&h),Imam Ali(pbuh), her majesty Fatima Al- Zahra (pbuh), Imam Hassan(pbuh) and Imam Hussein(pbuh)” and then his penitence was accepted; God is the All-clement, the All-merciful.
