إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا، يعني: بآياتنا. وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ‏، يعني:بمواساة الإخوان. وَ تَواصَوْا بِالْحَقِ‏، يعني: الإمامة. وَ تَواصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ، يعني:بالعترة In the book Kamal Al-Din wa Tamam Al-Ni’mah with its chain of transmission to Muhammad bin Sinan, on the authority of al-Mufaddal bin Umar, he said: I asked Al-Sadiq -asws about His -azwj saying: By the time, indeed, mankind is in loss. He -asws – said: The time is the time of the emergence of the Al-Qa’im.

And that has been reported from Ali -asws ’.

[9] و قال علي بن إبراهيم أيضا: قَرَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ‏ «وَ الْعَصْرِ إِنَّ الْإِنْسانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ وَ إِنَّهُ فِيهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الدَّهْرِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ‏ وَ أْتَمَرُوا بِالتَّقْوَى وَ أْتَمَرُوا بِالصَّبْرِ And Ali Bin Ibrahim said as well, ‘And Abu Abdullah -asws recited: (I Swear) by the time [103:1] Surely the human being is in loss, and he would be in it up to the end of times [103:2] Except those who believe and are doing the righteous deeds, and instruct each other with the piety, and instruct each other with the patience [103:3] ’’.
