And as for the similarity with Muhammad (S) it will be his advent and rising up with the sword.”[^9] Again the same book, Kamaluddin quotes a statement of His Eminence, Sadiq (as) from his father (as) that he said: “When Qaim (aj) rises up he would say: فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ “So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles…” (Qur’an, Surah Shuara 26:21) [^10] And also in this book we have the author’s own chain of narrators reporting from Zurarah that he heard: His Eminence, Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammad (as) say: “For Qaim (aj) before his uprising there will be an occultation.” I asked: “May I be your ransom, why is it so?” He replied: “He shall fear (for his life),” so saying the Imam gestured towards his belly and neck.[^11] In al-Muhajja it is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) that he said under the exegesis of the verse: وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَىٰ لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا ۚ يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا “Allah has promised to those of you who believe and do good that He will most certainly make them rulers in the earth as He made rulers those before them, and that He will most certainly establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them, and that He will most certainly, after their fear, give them security in exchange; they shall serve Me, not associating aught with Me.” (Qur’an, Surah Noor 24:55)…
