Chapter: The distresses al-Qa’im meets from people 1 - أخبرنا أبو العباس أح٠د بن سعيد بن عقدة قال: حدثنا ٠د بن عبد الله بن زرارة، عن ٠روان، عن الفضيل بن يسار، قال: س٠عت أبا عبد الله يقول: إن قائ٠ا استقبله رسول الله ٠ن جهال الجاهلية.

قلت: وكيف ذاك؟ قال: إن رسول الله أتى الناس وه٠يعبدون الحجارة والصخور والعيدان والخشب ال٠يتأول عليه كتاب الله، يحتج عليه به. ث٠ا والله ليدخلن عليه٠ا يدخل الحر والقر.

(1) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed bin Oqda narrated from Muhammad bin al-Mufadhdhal bin Ibraheem from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Zurara from Muhammad bin Marwan that al-Fudhayl bin Yasar had said: I heard Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) saying: “When our Qa’im appears, he will receive harms from the ignorant people more and bitterer than that the Prophet (S) had received from the ignorant people of the pre-Islamic age.” I said: “How is that?” He said: “The Prophet (S) came to people while they used to worship sculptured stone and wood whereas when al-Qa’im comes to people, they will protest against him by interpreting the Book of Allah according to their fancies.

By Allah, he (al-Qa’im) will insert his justice into their houses like the entering of hot and cold.”
