Allah will send their Mahdī so that he may give them honor and humiliate their enemies.” Al-Anwār al-muḍī’a[^13]: It has been narrated that the verse “And We intend to bestow a favor upon those who have been weakened in the earth and make them the Imams and make them the heirs” was mentioned in the presence of Imam al-Ṣādiq, peace be on him.
