You will be Sifted until it would be said...
You will be Sifted until it would be said, ‘He -asws died, killed, perished, (Don’t know) by which valley he -asws travelled’, and the eyes of the Momineen would shed tears upon him -asws , and you would be tossed around like the tossing of the ships in the waves of the sea.
فَلَا يَنْجُو إِلَّا مَنْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَهُ وَ كَتَبَ فِي قَلْبِهِ الْإِيمَانَ وَ أَيَّدَهُ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ وَ لَتُرْفَعَنَّ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ رَايَةً مُشْتَبِهَةً لَا يُدْرَى أَيٌّ مِنْ أَيٍّ Thus, he would not attain salvation except the one whose Covenant Allah -azwj has Taken, and Written the Eman in his heart, and Aided him by a Spirit from Him -azwj . And you would be separating into twelve resembling banners, not known which one is from which’.
قَالَ فَبَكَيْتُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى شَمْسٍ دَاخِلَةٍ فِي الصُّفَّةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ تَرَى هَذِهِ الشَّمْسَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَمْرُنَا أَبْيَنُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّمْسِ . He (the narrator) said, ‘So I wept, then I said, ‘So how should we deal with it?’ So he -asws looked at the sunshine entering the pavilion and he -asws said: ‘O Abu Abdullah! Do you see this sunshine?’ I said, ‘Yes’. So he -asws said: ‘By Allah -azwj !
Our -asws matter would be clearer that this sunshine’. [12] الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ خَلَفِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ الْأَنْمَاطِيِّ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عِنْدَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ أُنَاسٌ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ غَيْرِي فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَيَغِيبَنَّ عَنْكُمْ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَ لَيَخْمِلَنَّ هَذَا حَتَّى يُقَالَ مَاتَ هَلَكَ فِي أَيِّ وَادٍ سَلَكَ وَ لَتُكْفَؤُنَّ كَمَا تُكْفَأُ السَّفِينَةُ فِي أَمْوَاجِ الْبَحْرِ لَا يَنْجُو إِلَّا مَنْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَهُ وَ كَتَبَ الْإِيمَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَ أَيَّدَهُ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ وَ لَتُرْفَعَنَّ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ رَايَةً مُشْتَبِهَةً لَا يُدْرَى أَيٌّ مِنْ أَيٍّ Al Husayn Bin Muhammad and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Muawiya, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Ibrahim Bin Khalaf Bin Abbad Al Anmaty, from Mufazzal Bin Umar who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah -asws , and with him -asws were some people in the room.
So I thought that he -asws intended by that, others than me (when) he -asws said: ‘By Allah -azwj !
