And it is the day when ‘Our Al-Qaim -ajfj ’ will appear...

And it is the day when ‘Our Al-Qaim -ajfj ’ will appear together with his -ajfj supporters and relief (after a very long time) will only come through him -ajfj . And today Allah -azwj will give victory to our ‘Al-Qaim -ajfj ) against ‘Dajjal’ who will be executed at the door of city of Kufa [10] . And there is not a single day of Nouroz on which we do not expect relaxation and blessings, this day is remembered by the people of Persia but the inhabitants of Arab have abandoned it’.

Then Imam -asws described an account of a Prophet -as who was sent to the Children of Israel, the Prophet -as prayed to his Lord -azwj to resurrect those people who had ran away from their houses out of fear of being killed by ‘plague’, they were thousands in number. Allah -azwj inspired the Prophet -as to recite ‘اللَّهُ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ’ on them in their beds and sprinkle over them some water, it was the ‘day of Nouroz’ when water was poured on them and they came back to life.

They were thirty thousand in number. This is the reason behind the tradition of sprinkling water on the day of Nouroz, no one knows about it but those -asws who are perfect in knowledge (الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ ). This also happens to be the first day of the year for the Persians. Al-Muala says Imam -asws dictated me this tradition and I wrote it down.
