Hadith 375

the Angels, you would have despised him and despised what he was indulging in’. He said, ‘Now my heart is tranquil’. Then he said, ‘Until when will these be ruling (us), or until when will we get rest from them (their injustices)? ’ I-asws said: ‘Do you not know that there is a time allocated for everything? ’ He said, ‘Yes’. I-asws said: ‘Would it benefit you if you come to know that this command (Caliphate), when it goes, it would be quicker than the blink of an eye? If you come to know their condition in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and how it would be, you would have been intense in your hatred of them. And if you were to struggle, and the people of the earth were to struggle to include them in more severity than what they are already in from the sins, you would not be able to. So do not let Satan-la excite you. The honour is for Allah-azwj and for His-azwj Messenger-saww, and for the Momineen, but the hypocrites do not know. Indeed! The one who waits for our-asws command and observes patience upon what he see from the sufferings and the fear, tomorrow he would be in our‑asws group. So, if you were to see that the truth has died and its people have gone away, and you will see, that the injustice has encompassed the country, and you will see that for the Quran they are inventing new things which are not in it and giving it a perspective in accordance with their own whims, and you will see that the religion has receded like the receding of the water, And you will see the people of the falsehood to have achieved high positions above the people of the truth, and you will see the evil having been manifested with no one preventing it and actually finding excuses for its committers, and you will see the mischief having appeared, and the males gratifying themselves with the males, and the women gratifying themselves with the females. And you will see the Momin maintaining silence with no one accepting his words, and you will see the mischievous lying and no one refuting his lies and his falsity, and you will see the young ones belittling the grownups, and you will see the relatives with their relationships being cut-off, and you will see the one who is praised for his mischief, and he laughs at it and his words are not being refuted. And you will see the young boy being obedient as the women are, and will see the women getting married to women, and you will see the praises being increased, and you will see the man spending the wealth in ways other than in obedience to Allah-azwj with no one preventing him or holding back his hand, and you will see the onlookers seeking Refuge with Allah-azwj from what they see the (situation of the) Momineen are in from the struggles. And you will see the neighbour hurt his neighbour and there is no one to prevent him, and you will see the Kafirs rejoicing at what they see in the Momin to be in, becoming happier at what he sees
