Narrated to us Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Isaam –ra that he said: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Yaqoob Kulaini: Narrated to us Qasim bin Alaa: Narrated to me Ismail bin Ali Qazwini: Narrated to me Ali Ibne Ismail from Asim bin Humaid Hannat from Muhammad bin Muslim Thaqafi that he said: I heard Aba Ja’far Muhammad -asws bin Ali Al-Baqir -asws say: “The Qaim -asws from us -asws will be aided by awe and helped with Divine assistance.

The earth will fold up for him -asws and the treasures will be exposed for him -asws . His -asws dominions will be in the east and the west and through him, Allah -azwj , the Mighty and Sublime will Make His -azwj religion dominate over all religions even though the polytheists hate this (9:33) . Then no ruin will remain in the earth but that he will restore it. And the spirit of Allah -azwj , Isa -as bin Maryam –as will come down and pray behind him -asws .

I asked: O son -asws of Allah’s Messenger -saww , when will your -asws Qaim -asws appear? He -asws replied: When the men will resemble women and women will resemble men. When men will satisfy their lusts with men and women with women. When women will ride horses. False testimony will be accepted and true testimony will be obstructed. Murder will be considered a minor thing. Adultery and usury will be common. People will fear the talks of the evil people.

Sufyani will arise from Shaam and Yamani will appear from Yemen. The Baida desert will sink. A youth from Aale Muhammad -asws will be killed between the Rukn and Maqam. He will be Muhammad bin Hasan Nafs-e-Zakiyyah. A call will come from the sky that the truth is with him -asws and with all the Shias. At that time will arise our Qaim -asws .

When he reappears he would lean on the Kabah and three hundred and thirteen men (313) would reach him, and the first words he speaks would be: بَقِيَّتُ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ ۚ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَفِيظٍ {86} The remaining one with Allah is better for you if you were Momineen, and I am not a keeper over you [11:86] Then he -asws would say: I am the remnant of Allah -azwj on the earth and the vicegerent of God and His -azwj Divine Proof upon you.

Then no Muslim would greet him except by the words: “Peace be on you, O the remnant of Allah on His earth.” And when the number of his supporters reaches one Iqd, that is 10000 men, he would set out. Then no deity except Allah -azwj , the Mighty and Sublime would remain on the earth.
