He said, “The caller will call out the name of al- Qaim and the name of his father and will say: ‘So and so the son of so and so is the Qaim of Muhammad’s progeny. You are to listen to him and to obey him.’ Every alive thing of the creatures will hear the call. The sleepers will wake up and get out to courtyards and the virgins will get out of their veils.
