(6) Ali bin Ahmad al-Bandaneeji narrated from Obaydillah bin Musa al-Alawi from someone from Ja'far bin Yahya from his father that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said: “How about you when the companions of al-Qa'im (as) set up their pavilions in the mosque of Kufa and then he (al-Qa'im) appears with new ideals and a new rule?
He will be severe with the Arabs.”[^7] 7 - أخبرنا محمد بن همام قال: حدثني جعفر بن محمد بن مالك، قال: حدثنا أبو طاهر الوراق، قال: حدثني عثمان بن عيسى، عن أبي الصباح الكناني، قال: كنت عند أبي عبد الله فدخل عليه شيخ وقال: قد عقّني ولدي وجفاني إخواني. فقال أبو عبد الله: أوَما علمت أن للحق دولة وللباطل دولة كلاهما ذليل في دولة صاحبه، فمن أصابته رفاهية الباطل اقتص منه في دولة الحق.
(7) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ja'far bin Muhammad bin Malik from Abu Tahir al-Warraaq from Uthman bin Eessa that Abus-Sabah al-Kinani had said: “Once I was with Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) when an old man came to him and said: “My sons became undutiful to me and my brothers turned away from me.” Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) said: “Do you not know that the truth has a government and the untruth also has a government? Each of them is low in the state of the other.
(8) Abu Sulayman Ahmad bin Hawtha narrated from Ibraheem bin Iss’haq an-Nahawandi from Abdullah bin Hammad al-Ansari from Muhammad bin Ja'far bin Muhammad that his father (Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq) (as) had said: “When al-Qa'im appears, he will send a man to every country of the world. He will say to him: “Your covenant is in your hand.
Whenever a matter faces you that you do not understand or do not know how to judge on it, you are to look at (the covenant in) your hand and act according to it.” Then he will send an army to Constantinople. When the army reaches the sea, the soldiers will write on their feet something and will walk on the surface of the water.
