What affords you -asws to sit back (not rise up against the ruling authorities)?’ So Imam -asws said: ‘And why (Shouldn’t I -asws do so) O Sadeyr!’ I said, ‘Due to the abundance of your -asws friends and your -asws Shias, and your -asws helpers. By Allah -azwj !
Had there been for Amir Al-Momineen -asws what is for you -asws from the Shias and the helpers and the friends, neither the (Clan of) Taym (Abu Bakr’s clan), nor (the Clan of Uday (Umar’s clan) would have been greedy with regards to it (the Caliphate)’. فَقَالَ يَا سَدِيرُ وَ كَمْ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونُوا قُلْتُ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ قَالَ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَ مِائَتَيْ أَلْفٍ قَالَ مِائَتَيْ أَلْفٍ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَ نِصْفَ الدُّنْيَا So, Imam -asws said: ‘O Sadeyr!
And how many could they (Shias) be?’ I said, ‘One hundred thousand’. He -asws said: ‘One hundred thousand?’ I said, ‘Yes, and two hundred thousand’. He -asws said: ‘Two hundred thousand?’ I said, ‘Yes, and half the world’.
