Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 2 22: We Must Be Submissive As Well As Impatient This topic can be discussed in two parts: Section One: Some traditions narrated from the Holy Imams Abdul Rahman Ibne Kathir is quoted in Al-Kafi that he was present in the assembly of Imam Sadiq (as) when Muhzam entered and said, “May our lives be sacrificed on you!
Please tell us when the affair that we await shall come to pass?” Imam (as) replied, “O Muhzam! Those who fix a time are liars, those who were impatient were destroyed and those who resigned themselves to the situation were saved.[^1] It is narrated by Ibrahim bin Muhzam from his father that he said: In the presence of Imam Abu Abdillah (as) were mentioned rulers of so and so clan and His Eminence (aj) said: Indeed people will perish as a result of their haste in this matter, the Almighty Allah does not advance a matter due to haste of people about it.
Indeed, for it is the last command which will (surely) reach it, thus when it reaches; it will neither be advanced nor delayed by an hour.[^2] It is narrated from Mansoor that he said: His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Imam Sadiq (as) said: O Mansoor, this matter of yours (reappearance) will not occur except after hopelessness. No, by Allah, till you separate from each other. And no by Allah, till you are tested.
And no by Allah, till one who is to be damned is damned and one who is to succeed succeeds.[^3] It is narrated from Muhammad bin Mansoor Saiqal from his father that he said: I, Harith bin Mughaira and a group of our companions were sitting in the gathering of Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) and he was listening to our discussion. He said: What are you worried of? Never! Never! By Allah! That which you await (reappearance) will not happen except till you are sieved.
No by Allah, what you are longing for will not come to pass till you are sifted. No by Allah, that which you are eager for will not come till good is separated from the evil. No by Allah, that which you are looking for will not happen except after hopelessness.
