There will be also a fright in Ramadan...

There will be also a fright in Ramadan, which will awaken the sleeping people, terrify those who are awake and bring the girls out of their veils.” It is narrated from Bazanti from Imam Reza (as) that he said, “Before the appearance of al-Qaim, there will be the risings of as-Sufyani, al- Marwani, al-Yamani, Shuaib bin Salih and the protruding hand; then how can he (Muhammad bin Ibrahim bin Ismail known as Ibne Tabataba) say this?” It is reported from Abu Baseer that Imam Sadiq (as) said: “If you see a great fire burning in the east for three days or seven days, then wait for the deliverance of Muhammad’s progeny if Allah wills.

Allah is Mighty, Wise!” Then he said, “The cry will not occur except in the month of Ramadan because Ramadan is the month of Allah and the cry is the cry of Jibraeel to the people.” Then he added, “A call will come from the heavens with the name of al-Qaim. It will be heard by everyone in the east and everyone in the west. The cry will make every sleeper awake, every stander sit and every sitter stand because of fright.

Allah will have mercy upon whoever submits to the cry and obeys the caller because the first cry will be the cry of Jibraeel.” Then he said, “The cry will be in the month of Ramadan, on a Friday eve, which will be the twenty-third of the month. Do never doubt that. Listen and obey! At the end of the day there will be the voice of Iblees, the cursed calling out: So and so (Uthman) is killed unjustly, just to make people doubt and become confused and then go to Hell.

If you hear the call in Ramadan, do not doubt it. It will be the voice of Jibraeel. The evidence is that he will call out the name of al-Qaim and the name of his father. The call will be heard by everyone until the virgins in their veils instigate their fathers and brothers to rise (to join al-Qaim). These two calls must occur before the appearance of al-Qaim. One will be from the heavens calling out the name of al-Qaim and the name of his father. It will be the call of Jibraeel.

The other will be from the earth and it will be the call of Iblees calling out the name of someone claiming that he has been killed unjustly just to create sedition among the people. Obey the first call and beware of being deceived by the second one.” From some of our associates it is narrated that they asked Imam Sadiq (as): “Is the rising of the Sufyani inevitable?” He said, “Yes, it is.
