verily he is helped” (17:33) the Imam -asws replied: \u201cThis is about the Qa’im -ajfj of the family of Mubammad -saww . When he -ajfj rises, he -ajfj will kill (many people), avenging the blood of Hussain -asws . Even if he -ajfj kills everyone on earth, he -ajfj will not have exceeded the limits in killing. “But let him not exceed the limits in killing” (17:33) means that he -ajfj will not act unconscionably.

I swear to Allah -zawj that he -ajfj will kill the descendants of the killers of Hussain -asws for the deeds of their fathers.”\u2019 [10] \n The Story of Angel Futrus: \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \n Abu Abd Allah -asws (6th Imam -asws ) said that when Imam Ali -asws was blessed with Al-Hussain -asws , Allah -zawj Ordered Jabrail -as to descend (to the earth) with one thousand angels to congratulate Rasool Allah -saww .

On his way to the Prophet -saww Jabrail -as descended on an island in the sea where an angel named Futrus lived. Futrus was one of the carriers (of the Throne). At one point, Futrus had delayed in carrying out Allah -zawj \u2019s Command. Therefore, his wings were broken and he was thrown onto this island. He continued worshipping Allah -zawj on that island for six hundred years, after which the Zahoor of Imam Hussain -asws took place.

Upon seeing Jabrail -as and his group of angels Futrus asked Jabrail -as , \u2018Where are you going?\u2019 Jabrail -as answered: \u2018Allah -zawj has blessed with a (child), and I have been sent to congratulate him on behalf of Allah -zawj and myself -as .\u2019 Futrus (requested), \u2018O Jabrail -as ! Take me with you. Perhaps Rasool Allah -saww would pray for my forgiveness.\u2019 So Jabrail -as carried Futrus.

When they arrived, Jabrail -as congratulated the Rasool Allah -saww on behalf of Allah -zawj and himself -as , and then informed him -saww of Futrus. \n Rasool Allah -saww told Jabrail to bring Futrus inside. After Futrus was brought inside, he informed the Prophet -saww of his situation.

The Prophet -saww prayed for him and said to him, \u2018Rub (your wings) on the (cloths\/cradle) of Hussain -asws and (you will) return to your (original) position (health).\u2019 Futrus rubbed his wings on Hussain -asws and started ascending (to the Heavens). As he was ascending, he said, \u2018O Messenger of Allah -saww ! Verily your nation will kill him -asws .
