When the adultery is prevalent the earthquakes would appear, and when the tyranny is prevalent in the judgments, the drops (of rain) would be Withheld, and when the non-Muslim taxpayers (Zimmy) are unprotected, the people of Polytheism would be more just than the people of Al-Islam, and when the Zakāt is prevented, the need would appear’.

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Sa’albat Bin Maymoun, from Badr Bin Al-Khaleel Al-Azdy who said: I was seated in the presence of Abu Ja’far -asws , so he -asws said: ‘Two Signs would occur before the rising of Al-Qaim -asws which have never occurred since the descent of Adam -as to the earth – A solar eclipse in the middle of the Month of Ramadhan, and the lunar (eclipse) at the end of it’. So a man said, ‘O son -asws of the Rasool!

The sun gets eclipsed at the end of the month, and the moon in the middle of it’. So Abu Ja’far -asws said: ‘I -asws am more knowing of what you say, but these two Signs have never occurred since the descent of Adam -as ’.
