وبالقائم منكم أعمر أرضي بتسبيحي وتقديسي وتهليلي وتكبيري وتمجيدي وبه اطهر الارض من أعدائي واورثها أوليائي وبه أجعل كلمة الذين كفروا بي السفلى وكلمتي العليا، به احيي بلادي وعبادي بعلمي وله اظهر الكنوز والذخاير بمشيتي وإياه اظهر على الاسرار والضماير بارادتي وامده بملائكتي لتؤيده على إنفاذ أمري. وإعلان ديني ذلك وليي حقا ومهدي عبادي صدقاً. أقول: قد مضى كثير من الاخبار في باب النصوص على الاثني عشر وبعضها في باب علل أسمائه (ع).
