He replied: O Abu Ishaq, you hasten (to hasten the will of Allah).

He replied: O Abu Ishaq, you hasten (to hasten the will of Allah). I said: Yes, by Allah, I hasten, why do I not hasten where I became so old as you see?

He said: O Abu Ishaq, by Allah, that does not occur until you are tried and clarified until none of you remains save the least (then he clenched his hands).[^9] Through the author’s own chain of narrators it is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Kathir from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) that he said regarding the saying of the Almighty: أتى أمر الله فلا تستعجلوه Allah’s commandment has come, therefore do not desire to hasten it… It is our matter.

The Almighty Allah has ordered not to hasten it until He assists it with three armies; the angels, the believers and awe. His (Qaim’s) advent will be like the advent of the Prophet as Allah has said: كما أخرجك ربُك من بيتك بالحق Even as your Lord caused you to go forth from your house with the truth… [^10] In Tafseer Burhan[^11] and Muhajja through the author’s own chain of narrators a similar type of tradition is narrated from Ghaibat of Shaykh Mufeed.

12 - In those two books it is also narrated from Musnad Fatima (S), by Shaykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Jurair Tabari through his own of narrators from Aban from His Eminence, Imam Sadiq (as) that he said: أتى أمر الله فلا تستعجلوه Allah’s commandment has come, therefore do not desire to hasten it… Imam Sadiq (as) said: At that moment His Eminence, Qaim (aj) will appear and perform two rakats prayer at the Place of Ibrahim (as); then he will move with his 313 companions who would be surrounding him.

Indeed, among his companions will be those who had rushed from their beds overnight. Thus they will set out from there. The Qaim will have a stone with him; when it is cast down, vegetables grow from the ground. In Kamaluddin, The chief of traditionists, Shaykh Sadooq has narrated through a correct chain of narrators from Imam Sadiq (as) that he said: “The first to pledge allegiance to Qaim (aj) is Jibraeel who would come down in the form of a white bird and give him oath of allegiance.
