Chapter: Al-Qa’im’s aspects and deeds 2 - أخبرنا علي بن أح٠د قال: حدثنا عبيد الله بن ٠وسى العلوي، عن بعض رجاله، عن إبراهي٠اعيل بن عياش، عن الأع٠ش عن أبي وائل، قال: نظر أ٠نين علي إلى الحسين فقال: إن ابني هذا سيّد ك٠اه رسول الله سيداً، وسيُخرج الله ٠، يشبهه في الخَلق والخُلق، يخرج على حين غفلة ٠اتةٍ للحق وإظهارٍ للجور.

والله لو ل٠يخرج لضربت عنقه، يفرح بخروجه أهل الس٠اوات وسكانها، وهو رجل أجلى الجبين، أقنى الأنف، ضخ٠البطن، أزيل الفخذين، بفخذه الي٠ة، أفلج الثنايا وي٠لأُ الأرض عدلاً ك٠(2) Ali bin Ahmad narrated from Obaydillah bin Musa al-Alawi from some of his companions from Ibraheem bin al-Hakam bin Dhaheer from Issma’eel bin Ayyash from al-A’mash that Abu Wa’il had said: Once Amirul Mo’mineen (as) looked at his son al-Husayn (as) and said: “My son is a master as the Prophet (S) has called him a master.

Allah will make one of his (al-Husayn’s) descendants, whose name will be like the Prophet’s name and who will be like the Prophet (S) in form and morals, appear while people are in advertence, the truth is suspended and oppression is spread everywhere. The inhabitants of the heaven and the people of the earth will be happy with his advent. He is a man with bright forehead, hooked nose, big abdomen, wide thighs with a mole on the right thigh and with separated front teeth.

He will fill the world with justice after it has been filled with injustice and oppression.”
