And from him...

And from him, said, ‘It was narrated to us by Al Muzaffar Bin Ja’far Bin Al Muzaffar Al Alawy Al Samarqandy, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Masoud, and Hyder Bin Muhammad Bin Naeem Al Zamarqandy, altogether from Muhammad Bin Masoud Al Ayyashi, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Shaja’a, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘Al-Sadiq Ja’far -asws Bin Muhammad -asws said regarding the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: The day some of the Signs of your Lord do come, a soul will not benefit from its Eman which had not believed from before, or earned goodness during its Eman [6:158] : ‘It means the rising of Al-Qaim -asws , and awaiting one from us -asws ’.

ثم قال (عليه السلام): «يا أبا بصير، طوبى لشيعة قائمنا، المنتظرين لظهوره في غيبته، و المطيعين له في ظهوره، أولئك أولياء الله، الذين لا خوف عليهم و لا هم يحزنون». Then he -asws said: ‘O Abu Baseer! Beatitude is for the Shias of our -asws Qaim -asws , the ones awaiting for his -asws appearance during his -asws occultation, and the followers of his -asws during his -asws appearance. They are the friends of Allah -azwj , those upon whom there would neither be fear nor would they be grieving’’.

From Zurara and Humran and Muhammad Bin Muslim, ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws and Abu Abdullah -asws regarding His -azwj Words: The day some of the Signs of your Lord do come, a soul will not benefit from its Eman [6:158] . He -asws said: ‘Emergence of the sun from the west, and the coming of the walker (upon the earth), and the man would happen to be adamant and would not be doing a deed of the Eman, then the Signs would come, therefore its Eman would not benefit him’’.

[25] عن حفص بن غياث، عن جعفر بن محمد (عليهما السلام) قال: «سأل رجل أبي (عليه السلام) عن حروب أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) و كان السائل من محبينا، قال: فقال أبو جعفر (عليه السلام): إن الله بعث محمدا (صلى الله عليه و آله) بخمسة أسياف: ثلاثة منها شاهرة لا تغمد إلى أن تضع الحرب أوزارها، و لن تضع الحرب أوزارها حتى تطلع الشمس من مغربها، فإذا طلعت الشمس من مغربها آمن الناس كلهم في ذلك اليوم، فيومئذ لا يَنْفَعُ نَفْساً إِيمانُها لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمانِها خَيْراً».
