See what Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) says to Humran in a correct lengthy tradition, in Rauda Kafi, when he asked His Eminence: How will these (Bani Abbas) people rule? Or when would we rid of them? Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) said: Don’t you know that everything has a tenure? He replied: Why not? I said: Does it benefit you to know that when this matter occurs it will not come even a moment earlier.
Indeed, if you knew their condition in the view of Allah, you will be more angry with them and if with all the people of the world try to worsen their condition from sin and crimes – you will not be able to do so. Thus Shaitan will not deviate and worry you.
Because indeed, honor from the Almighty Allah is for the Messenger of Allah (S), and for the believers, but the hypocrites don’t know, do you not know that one who awaits for our kingdom, and is patient on all hardships and troubles, will be in our group tomorrow [in Qiyamat].[^2] In Tohaful Uqool , it is mentioned among the advices of Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) to Momin Taq: O Son of Noman, a servant will not be a faithful believer before he learns three characteristics; one from God, one from His Messenger, and one from the Imam.
The characteristic he should learn from God is the concealment of secrets. God the Glorified says: عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any, (Qur’an, Surah Jinn 72:26) The characteristic he should learn from the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) is that he should treat people courteously.
The characteristic he should learn from the Imam (peace be upon him) is to be steadfast against situations of misfortune and crises until relief comes about…[^3] Also, in Rauda Kafi, through the author’s own chain of narrators it is narrated from Hasan bin Shazan Wasiti that he said: I wrote a letter to Abul Hasan Imam Reza (as) in which I complained about the oppressions of the people of Wast. Since in that city there were groups of Uthmanis, they used to trouble me.
