The reappearance of Imam Qaim (a.

The reappearance of Imam Qaim (a.s.) will occur only after the advent of Sufyani.” 6- Qurbul Asnad: It is narrated from Ibne Isa from Bazanti from Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) that he said: “Before the reappearance of Imam Qaim (a.s.) there will occur the killing of ‘Buyuh’.” I asked: “What is the meaning of killing of ‘Buyuh’?” He replied: “Continuous bloodshed and killings.” 7- Qurbul Asnad: It is narrated through his chains from Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) that he said: “In the view of Ibne Abi Hamza, Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) thought that my father (Imam Musa Kazim (a.s.)) was the Qaim.

But Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) did not know what command was supposed to come from the Almighty Allah. By Allah, the Almighty Allah mentions the statement of His Prophet in the Holy Quran that he said: وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلَا بِكُمْ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَى إِلَيَّ *** “I do not know what will be done with me or with you: I do not follow anything but that which is revealed to me…” (Surah Ahqaf 46:9)*** And Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) also used to remark: “The reappearance of the Qaim will be preceded by four events: and they will prove the truth of his reappearance.

Three have occurred and only the fourth remains.” We said: “May we be sacrificed on you, what are those events that have already occurred?” He replied: The month of Rajab when the man of Khorasan dismissed the caliphate of Mamun and removed his name from the coins and seals. After that came the Rajab in which he attacked Ibne Zubaidah and removed Amin from the throne.

After that came the Rajab in which Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Ismail bin Ibrahim bin Hasan bin Imam Hasan (a.s.), alias Ibne Tabatabai staged an uprising in Kufa.” We asked: “Is the fourth Rajab a continuation of the same?” He (Imam Ali Reza) replied: “Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) had said only this much.” 8- Qurbul Asnad: It is narrated through his chains from Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) that he was asked: “How near is the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)?

He replied: “Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) has narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) that he said: The first sign of the reappearance will be seen in 195 A.H. Then in 196 A.H. the Arabs will be divested of their kingdom and there is annihilation in 197 A.H. In 198 A.H. there is exile.” Then he said: “Can you not see that the Bani Hashim clan has been uprooted completely?” I asked: “Is there exile for them?” He replied: “For others also and in 199 A.H.
