28-3 Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Masroor - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn Aamir quoted on the authority of al-Mo’alla ibn Muhammad al-Basri, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’, “I asked Abil Hassan Al-Ridha’ (a.s.), ‘Will the Earth be left without a Divine Leader?’ The Imam (a.s.) said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘It has been narrated for us that it will not be left without one.

Otherwise God deals hard with the servants.’ The Imam (a.s.) said, ‘It will not be left without a Divine Leader, otherwise it will take in all its residents.” 28-4 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Zaytooni and Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Abi Qatada, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Hilal, on the authority of Sa’eed ibn Soleiman, on the authority of Soleiman ibn Ja’far al-Ja’fari, “I asked Al-Ridha’ (a.s.), ‘Will the Earth be left without a Proof?’ The Imam (a.s.) said, ‘No.

If the Earth is left without a Proof for even a moment, it will take in all its residents.’” 28-5 Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamadani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdul Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi, “I asked Abil Hassan Al-Ridha’ (a.s.), ‘O son of the Prophet of God! What is your opinion about the following tradition narrated on the authority of As-Sadiq (a.s.)?

(The traditions says,) When the Riser (a.s.) comes, he (a.s.) will kill the offspring of Al-Husayn’s (a.s.) murderers.’ The Imam (a.s.) said, ‘That is right.’ Then I asked, ‘Then what is the meaning of the following which the Honorable the Exalted God says? ‘…Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself:..’ [^1] The Imam (a.s.) said, ‘God is honest in all which He says.

However, the offspring of the murderers of Al-Husayn (a.s.) will even be pleased with the deeds of their forefathers. They will be even proud of it.
