Hadith 7

clan of Umayya to be evil lords after me-asws, like the teeth of a canine biting by it, hitting by its hands and striking by its legs and preventing from its pearls. And I-asws swear by Allah-azwj, their Fitna will not cease until not one of you will be able to help himself but like the help of the bad slave for his master, if he is absent he abuses him, and if he is present, he obeys him. And I-asws swear by Allah-azwj, even if you disperse to be underneath each of the stars, Allah-azwj will Gather you all for their evil days. The man said, ‘Will there be a community after that, O Amir Al-Momineen? ’ He-asws said: ‘There will be a diverse community. Your charities and your Hajj and your travels will be one, but your hearts will be different’. One of them said, ‘How will their hearts be different? ’ He-asws said: ‘Like this’ – and tangled his-asws fingers – then said: ‘This one will kill this one, and this one will kill this one. There will be trouble after trouble, and the unfairness of the era of ignorance will remain. There will not be a minaret of guidance or a flag to be seen. We-asws, the People-asws of the Household will be rescued from it, and we-asws will not be preaching ‘calling’ (that will be the time of Taqeeya during that time). One asked, ‘So what shall I do in that time, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws? ’
He-asws said: ‘Look at the People-asws of the Household of your Prophet-saww. If they-asws remain at their-asws homes, you remain at your homes, and if they-asws ask you for your help, help them so that you will be helped and be excused, for they-asws will never exit you from guidance, and will never call you all to destruction, and do not place yourselves in front of them-asws or else you will be killed by the afflictions and your enemies will rejoice over you. He said, ‘So what will happen after that, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws? ’
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj will Effect the Release from the affliction by a man-asws from my-asws Household, but many will turn against him-ajfj. Then He-azwj will Raise them to the one-asws who will swallow up their afflictions and quench them with a consoling cup, and he-asws will neither give them nor will he-asws accept from them anything except with the sword. There will be (at that time) troubles after troubles, he-asws will carry the sword for eight months, to the extent that the Quraysh would wish to give the whole world and whatever it contains (in order to find relief) to be able to see me-asws at least once, so they can give me back whatever they had taken from me. But he (Imam e Zaman-ajfj) will be very severe on them (without giving them any allowances) until they will say, ‘This man is not from the Quraysh. Had he-asws been from the Quraysh and from the children of Fatima-asws, he-asws would be merciful to us’. Thus Allah-azwj will Give him-asws victory over the clan of Umayya. Allah-azwj would Make them: (They are) Accursed! Wherever they are found they shall be seized and killed with a massacre [33: 61] Being a Sunnah of Allah regarding those who have gone before, and you will never find any alteration in the Sunnah of Allah [33: 62]. Having said that, it does not have to be a hand mill in order to grind the misguidance, for the mill stands upon its pole. Indeed! When it is grinding, it has a limit to it, and upon Allah-azwj there is not. Indeed! Myself-asws and my-asws good Family-asws and the good ones from my-asws relatives are the most forbearing of the people when they are young and the most knowledgeable of them in their adulthood. With us is the banner of the truth and guidance, the one who wants to overtake it will exit Religion due to misguidance, and the one who abandons it will perish (meet destruction), and the one who adheres to it will catch up. We People-asws of the Household, we teach from the Knowledge of Allah-azwj, and it is from the Wisdom of Allah-azwj that
