Receive glad tidings! But rather, my-saww community is like the rain. It is not known whether its end is better or its beginning, or whether a garden would be fed from it or a general army. Then a general army would feed from it, perhaps its last would be an army its width would happen to be wide, and its depth would be deep, and its beauty would be excellent. How can a community be destroyed (and) I-saww am its beginning and Al-Mahdi-asws is its middle, and the Messiah-as is its last. But, between that would be crooked middle ones who wouldn’t be from me-saww and I-saww am not from them’’. [44]

He-asws will fill the earth with fairness and justice like what it would have been filled with injustice and tyranny. He-asws will rule for seven years’. And some of the reporters said, ‘Nine years’’. [47]
And from Abu Is’haq having said, ‘Ali-asws said, and he-asws looked at his-asws son-asws Al-Husayn-asws. He-asws said: ‘This son-asws of mine-asws is a chief like what Rasool-Allah-saww had named him-asws, and there will emerge from his-asws Sulb, a man-asws named with the name of your Prophet-saww, resembling him-saww in the physique and not resembling him-saww in the manners.
