It is through them that Allah will help the true Imam.”[^8] It is narrated from His Eminence that he said: “When the Qaim (aj) rises up, he will slay the grandsons (descendants) of the killers of Husain (as).”[^9] A tradition of His Eminence, Reza (as) has explained the logic behind this and it says that they would be killed due to their satisfaction at the deeds of their ancestors and because they used to boast and feel proud of it.

And it is well-known that one who is satisfied at something, it is just as if he has committed it. In the book, Al Muhajja Feema Nazala Lil Qaaimil Hujjah it is mentioned that Imam Sadiq (as) said regarding the verse: وَمَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا “And one who is killed unjustly… (Qur’an, Surah Isra 17:33) This verse is revealed about Husain (as). If his Wali (successor) kills the people of the earth it will not be Israaf (extravagance). And his Wali is Qaim (aj).”[^10] [^1]: Kamaluddin; Vol. 1, Pg.
