Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Selected Narrations about the Twelfth Imam volume 2 Section Forty The traditions that indicate he will rise with the sword Comprised of ten traditions Kamāl al-dīn[^1]: Narrated to me my father, may Allah be satisfied with him, from Sa`d b. `Abd-Allah, from Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn b. Abī l-Khaṭṭāb, from al-Ḥasan b. Maḥbūb, from `Alī b.

Ri’āb, from (Imam) Abū `Abd-Allah, peace be on him, concerning the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic be He, “On the day when some of the signs of your Lord will come, becoming a believer will be of no use to he who hadn’t already believed.”[^2] He said: “Signs [refers to] the Imams and the awaited sign is the Qā’im, peace be on him.

On that day, becoming a believer will be of no use for anyone who had not become a believer before the rising of the Qā’im with the sword, even if he had believed in his forefathers, peace be on them.” Ghaybat al-Nu`mānī[^3]: `Alī b. al-Ḥusayn, from Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā al-`Aṭṭār, from Muḥammad b. Ḥasan al-Rāzī, from Muḥammad b. `Alī al-Kūfī, from Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Abī Naṣr, from `Abd-Allah b.

Bukair, from his father, from Zurāra who said: I asked (Imam) Abū Ja`far, peace be on him, “Name for me the Righteous from the righteous ones [and] I mean the Qā’im, peace be on him.” He replied, “His name is my name.” I asked, “Will he follow the customs of Muḥammad, Allah’s blessings be on him and his family?” He answered, “No, no, o Zurāra! He will not follow his customs.” I asked, “May I be sacrificed for you!

Why?” He replied, “The Messenger of Allah adopted the path of gentleness in his nation and was very friendly towards the people. But the Qā’im will adopt the path of killing. He is ordered to adopt the path of killing in the book which is with him. He will not seek repentance from anyone. Woe to he who opposes him!”[^4] Ghaybat al-Nu`mānī[^5]: Informed us Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Sa`īd b. `Uqda, from `Alī b. al-Ḥasan, from Muḥammad b. Khālid, from Tha`labat b. Maimūn, from al-Ḥasan b.

Hārūn who said: I was sitting with (Imam) Abū `Abd-Allah, peace be on him, when Mu`allā b. Khunais asked him, “When the Qā’im appears, will his approach differ from that of `Alī?” He replied, “Yes. Because `Alī, peace be on him, adopted the path of kindness and restraint; because he knew that his followers would be dominated after him.
