ثم يقول...

ثم يقول: كروا عليهم،- قال أبو جعفر (عليه السلام)- و لا يجوز- و الله- الخندق منهم مخبر. I said, ‘And the recruit army?’ He -asws said: ‘Yes, by Allah -azwj , until he -asws ends up at Masjid Ibrahim -as at Al-Nakheela, so he -asws would Pray two Cycles in it.

So there would come out against him -asws from those who were at Al-Kufa from the Murjiites and others from the army of Al-Sufyani, so he -asws would say to his -asws companions: ‘Deal with them!’ Then he -asws would say: ‘Attack them!’ By Allah -azwj ! It is not permissible for an informant from them but in the ditch’.

ثم يدخل الكوفة فلا يبقى مؤمن إلا كان فيها، أوحن إليها، و هو قول أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام)، ثم يقول لأصحابه: سيروا إلى هذا الطاغية، فيدعوه إلى كتاب الله و سنة نبيه (صلى الله عليه و آله) فيعطيه السفياني من البيعة مسلما، فيقول له كلب، و هم أخواله: ما هذا الذي صنعت؟ و الله ما نبايعك على هذا أبدا. فيقول ما أصنع؟ فيقولون: استقبله فيستقبله، ثم يقول له القائم (عليه السلام): خذ حذرك فإنني أديت إليك، و أنا مقاتلك. Then he -asws would enter Al-Kufa.

So there would not remain a Believer except that he would be in it, or yearn for it, and it is the speech of Amir-ul-Momineen -asws . Then he -asws would be saying to his -asws companions: ‘Go to this tyrant, and call him to the Book of Allah -azwj and the Sunnah of His -azwj Prophet -saww ’. So they (the believers) would be coming to him for the pledge of allegiance in submission (Imam -asws ). A dog (an uncle of Sufyani) would say to him (Sufyani), ‘What is this which you are (intending to) do?

By Allah -azwj ! We would never pledge allegiance to them (believers) upon this, ever!’ So he (Al-Sufyani) would be saying, ‘What shall I do?’ They would be saying, ‘Accept him -asws so that he -asws would accept you’. Then Al-Qaim -asws would say to him: ‘Take a warning, for I -asws have blood-money compensation (أديت) against you, and I -asws shall be fighting against you’. فيصبح فيقاتلهم فيمنحه الله أكتافهم، و يأخذ السفياني أسيرا، فينطلق به و يذبحه بيده.

ثم يرسل جريدة خيل إلى الروم فيستحذرون بقية بني امية، فإذا انتهوا إلى الروم قالوا: أخرجوا إلينا أهل ملتنا عندكم- فيأبون، و يقولون: و الله لا نفعل: فيقول الجريدة: و الله لو أمرنا لقاتلناكم، ثم ينطلقون إلى صاحبهم فيعرضون ذلك عليه، فيقول انطلقوا فأخرجوا إليهم أصحابهم، فإن هؤلاء قد أتوا بسلطان So it would become that he -asws would fight against them and Allah -azwj would grant him -asws victory and Al-Sufyani would be taken as a captive.

So he -asws would go to him and slaughter him with his -asws own hands.
