28-3 Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Masroor - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Al-Hussein ibn Muhammad ibn Aamir quoted on the authority of al-Mo’alla ibn Muhammad al-Basri, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’, “I asked Abil Hassan Al-Reza (s), ‘Will the Earth be left without a Divine Leader?’ The Imam (s) said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘It has been narrated for us that it will not be left without one.

Otherwise God deals hard with the servants.’ The Imam (s) said, ‘It will not be left without a Divine Leader, otherwise it will take in all its residents.” 28-4 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Zaytooni and Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Abi Qatada, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Hilal, on the authority of Sa’eed ibn Soleiman, on the authority of Soleiman ibn Ja’far al-Ja’fari, “I asked Al-Reza (s), ‘Will the Earth be left without a Proof?’ The Imam (s) said, ‘No.

If the Earth is left without a Proof for even a moment, it will take in all its residents.’” 28-5 Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamadani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdul Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi, “I asked Abil Hassan Al-Reza (s), ‘O son of the Prophet of God! What is your opinion about the following tradition narrated on the authority of As-Sadiq (s)?

(The traditions says,) When the Riser (s) comes, he (s) will kill the offspring of Al-Hussein’s (s) murderers.’ The Imam (s) said, ‘That is right.’ Then I asked, ‘Then what is the meaning of the following which the Honorable the Exalted God says? ‘…Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself:..’ [486] The Imam (s) said, ‘God is honest in all which He says. However, the offspring of the murderers of Al-Hussein (s) will even be pleased with the deeds of their forefathers.

They will be even proud of it. Whoever is pleased with something is like one who has actually performed that deed. If someone gets killed in the East and someone else in the West is pleased that he was killed, then he will be considered to be a partner in that crime in the sight of the Honorable the Exalted God.
