Hadith 578

(The book) ‘Kifayat Al Aser’ – Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Mundah, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Al Kufy, from Ismail Bin Musa Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Bin Jabeeb, from Shareek, from Hakeem Bin Jubeyr, from Ibrahim Al Nakhaie, from Alqamah Bin Qays who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws addressed us upon the pulpit of Al-Kufa, sermon of the pearls (Al-Lulu wal Marjan)’. He-asws said among what he-asws said in its end: ‘Indeed! And I-asws shall be departing very soon and go to the unseen, so await the Fitna of Umayya and the government of Chosroe, and the death of what Allah-azwj has Revived and revival of what Allah-azwj has Killed off, and take to your silences in your houses, and close your eyes (be patient) upon the likes of mighty afflictions, and mention Allah-azwj a lot, for His-azwj Mention is the greatest if only you knew’. Then he-asws said: ‘And a city called Al-Zowra’a would be built between Dajlah and Al-Dujeyl, and the Euphrates. If you could see it, constructed with the plaster, and the bricks, and decorated with the gold and the silver, and blue (water) quenchers, and the alabaster, and the marble, and the doors of ivory, and the ebony, and the tents, and the domes, and the curtains. And it is decorated with the teak, and the juniper shrubs, and the pines, and the evergreen trees, and constructed with the castles. And the twenty-four kings of the clans of Sheysaban shall rule upon it upon a number of my-asws old age – among them are Al-Saffah, and Al-Miqlas, and Al-Jamouh, and Al-Hazwu, and Al-Muzaffer, and Al-Muannas, and Al-Nazar, and Al-Kabsh, and Al-Mahtour, and Al-Ayyar, and Al-Mustalam, and Al-Mustasa’ab, and Al-Allam, and Al-Rahbany, and Al-Khalie, and Al-Sayyar, and Al-Mutraf, and Al-Kadeed, and Al-Aktab, and Al-Musrif, and Al-Aklab, and Al-Waseem, and Al-Saylam, and Al-Aynouq. And the earther domes would be made with red wilderness (soil), and after them would be Qaim-asws of the truth, travelling from its direction between the territories like the moon illuminating between the shining stars. Indeed! There are ten signs of his-asws emergence. The first of these is emergence of the stars with tails, and they (people) would draw closer to the atheists, and troubles and mess and riots would occur, and these are signs of Blessings. And from the signs to the signs are wonders. So, when the ten signs expire, then the blossoming moor would appear from us-asws, and the sincere Word of Allah-azwj would be completed upon the Tawheed’. A man called Aamir Bin Kaseer stood up to him-asws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! You-asws have informed us about the imams of Kufr and the false caliphs, so inform us about the Imams-asws of the truth and the truthful tongues after you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘Yes, it is a pact pacted to me-asws by Rasool-Allah-saww that this command, twelve Imams-asws would control it, nine being from the Sulb of Al-Husayn-asws. And
