Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, together from Muhammad Bin Saalim Bin Abu Salma, from Al-Hassan Bin Shazaan Al-Wasity who said: I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Ridha (asws) complaining of my alienation from the people of ‘وَاسِطٍ’, and their burdening me, and they were from the Uthmaniyya group, hurting me’. So a came in his (asws) handwriting: ‘Surely Allah (azwj) has Taken a Covenant from our (asws) friends for the patience during the government of the falsehood.

So be patient for the Judgement of your Lord (azwj). So when the chief of the creatures (Al-Qaim (asws)) makes a stand, they would say: “[36:52] They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent Allah promised and the messengers told the truth”.’ يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) ن يعده ضعيفا - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/217))
