Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Jumhur from ’Isma‘il ibn Sahl from al-Qasim ibn ‘Urwa from abu al-Safatij from Zurara from abu Ja‘far (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most High. “When they see the torment approaching, the faces of the unbelievers will blacken and they will be told, “This is what you wanted to (experience)” (67:27).

The Imam (a.s.) said, “This was revealed about Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) and his contemporaries who did what they to him. They will see Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) in such a position that will make them envious. This will cause their faces to show miserable.

It will be said to them, “This is the one whose title ‘Amir al-Mu’minin’ you had assumed.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) وثق - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (5/83))
