He asws knew that those people will become dominant. Were he to make them prisoners his followers would have been made prisoners likewise.’ I then asked, ‘Will Al-Qa’im asws , ‘ عَجَّلَ اللَّهُ فَرَجَهُ ’ ‘May Allah -azwj Bring forward the Relief’, deal with people like his dealings?’ He asws replied, ‘No, Ali asws dealt with them with favours due to his asws knowledge of their domination. Al-Qa’im asws will deal with them differently because they will not have any government for them’.

When you arrive to their asws graves, or gesture from the door which is upon the street, if Allah -azwj so Desires and say, السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا يَا وَلِيَّيِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا يَا حُجَّتَيِ اللَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمَا يَا نُورَيِ اللَّهِ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْأَرْضِ The greetings be upon you asws both, O Guardians asws of Allah -azwj ! The greetings be upon you asws both, O Divine Authorities of Allah -azwj .
The greetings be upon you asws both, O Noor of Allah -azwj in the darkness of the earth!
