Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 2 33: Having A Firm Intention Of Helping Imam (aj) In Event Of His Reappearance Apart from the fact that this intention is a necessary requirement of Eimaan (belief) and one of the signs of conviction (Yaqeen), many traditions have been recorded for intention, reward and performing of good deeds and the reward of every person depends upon his intention.

This is also proved from the words of the Master of Pious, Ali Ibne Abi Talib (as), who says: “Halt! Be patient in calamities and difficulties. Do not move your hands and swords under the madness that you utter. And for those affairs where Allah has not made hasty you do not act hastily in them. One who dies sleeping on his bed with correct understanding of the rights of Allah, His Messenger (S) and his family, dies a martyr and his reward is upon Allah.

And he has received the reward of that which he intended to do. This intention of his will be considered as pulling out the sword.

And there is no doubt that there is a fixed time for everything and a particular period.”[^1] That which proves this matter is that which Thiqatul Islam Muhammad bin Yaqoob Kulaini has mentioned in Rauda Kafi through the author’s own chain of narrators from Abdul Hamid Wasiti that he said: I asked His Eminence, Abu Ja’far Imam Baqir (as): May God bless you, we have stopped going to the markets in anticipation of the reappearance.

The Imam said: O Abdul Hamid do you think that Allah will not open the way for one who controls his self for His sake? No, by Allah, Allah will indeed open a way for him. May Allah have mercy on one who controls his self for our sake. May Allah have mercy on one who keeps our matter alive. I said: May God bless you, these Murjiya people say: There is no deviation in what we believe in. Till the time what you say comes about and thus we and you will be same.

He said: O Abdul Hamid, they have said the truth. One who repents, the Almighty Allah accepts his repentance. And one who resorts to hypocrisy, the Almighty Allah humiliates him. And one who exposes our matter, the Almighty Allah makes his blood go waste, [and to such men], the Almighty Allah will sacrifice on Islam, just as a butcher cuts off the neck of the sheep. The narrator says: I asked: Then we and the people will be same on that day?

He replied: No, you shall be the pillars of earth and its rulers. And there is nothing else in our religion.
