For instance...

For instance, there was another claim reported by Omar Bin Homaq to this effect, that he had visited Ali Bin Abi Taleb and that Ali (AS) had been wounded by Ibn Muljim. He told him that he would soon leave him and that in the year seventy there would be havoc and calamity. The narrator proceeds and says that he asked Ali (AS) as to whether after the havoc there would be ease and comfort, but Ali (AS) condition worsened and he did not reply. OmKulsoom cried.

The Imam asked OmKulsom not to cry which was torture to him, and that she did not see what he had been seeing then - Angels that were in the skies and behind them the prophets and apostles who had come to receive him. And that, the Prophet had held his hands and told him to come, for it was a better place. The narrator adds that hence once more repeated his question which Ali (AS) replied that every clamity is followed by comfort and that there is ease after every havoc.

He said: “God eradicates what He desires and establishes what He wants and with Him is the gist of the Book.” As can be observed in this narration the information is watery. Nothing is said directly. The Holy Quran says; “Indeed, after every hardship there is ease.” This report has nothing to do with the appearance of Mahdi. To take this narration for something else is an exaggeration. Here ‘DADA’ has no part. There are many such narrations.

I would like to apologize from all dear reader in having dwelt over this subject too long. If any one would like to learn more about ‘DADA’ he can refer to my book ‘SIR AL-BADA’ (Secret of DADA), in which I have gone into much detail - there are other books too useful in this field. What my intention was from this discourse; was to bring to the attention of the writer and the readers that the subject of DADA is not a simple one.

Such a complicated matter can not so easily be understood, and when a thing is not fully understood it is not wise to give or pass a judgment. Likewise, without proper knowledge information and proofs it would be far from justice to accuse and attack Shiasm, and it’s school of Imamate. My point was just to make the writer understand that he has gone astray.
