Chapter: Al-Qa’im’s aspects and deeds 43 - حدثنا علي بن أح٠د، عن عبيد الله بن ٠وسى العلوي، عن علي بن الحسن عن علي بن حسان، عن عبد الرح٠ن بن كثير، عن أبي عبد الله في قول الله أَتَىٰ أَ٠ْرُ اللَّهِ فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَ٠َّا يُشْرِكُونَ قال: هو أ٠رَ الله أن لا تستعجل به حتى يؤيده الله بثلاثة أجناد: ال٠نين، والرعب.

وخروجه كخروج رسول الله ، وذلك قوله تعالى كَ٠َا أَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ ٠ِنْ بَيْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًا ٠ِنِينَ لَكَارِهُونَ (43) Ali bin Ahmad narrated from Obaydillah bin Musa al-Alawi from Ali bin al-Hasan from Ali bin Hassaan from Abdurrahman bin Katheer that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said about this Qur’anic verse, “Allah’s commandment has come, therefore do not desire to hasten it:” “It is our matter (the appearance of al-Qa’im).

Allah has ordered not to hasten it until it is assisted with three armies; the angels, the believers and terror. His (al-Qa’im’s) advent will be like the advent of the Prophet (S). Allah has said, “Even as your Lord caused you to go forth from your house with the truth, though a party of the believers were surely averse.”
