Anyway, here is the hadith I am talking about that not only will inspire us to work more diligently to bring us to the level of consiousness so that our Qaem (mahhr) will appear fast AND that somehow, by some miracle we may be one of his army. This hadith also shows us...WE KNOW NOTHING!! Which is GREAT because, we can only go UP!
2. Expounding the Sciences for the people
This unprecedented expounding and unveiling of sciences and learning was not present in any period of time and will not be there in any period except the time of the reappearance. In Basair it is related by the author through his own chain of narrators from Saad bin Tareef from Asbagh bin Nubatah that he said:
Amirul Momineen (a) was such that whenever a person came to him he used to tell him: “O so and so, be ready for the journey of the Hereafter, and gather for yourself all the provisions that you want as on such and such day at such and such time illness would strike you and the cause of your illness is such and such, and you will die in so and so month on such and such day at such and such hour.” Saad says: I mentioned this statement to Imam Muhammad Baqir (a). He said it was right. I said: “May I be sacrificed on you, why do you not give us such information so that we may be ready for the journey of the Hereafter?” He replied: “Ali Ibnul Husain (a) has closed this door till the time our Qaim (a) arises.”[2]
In Biharul Anwar it is narrated from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (a) that he said:
[1] Biharul Anwar; Vol. 52, Pg. 390
[2] Basairud Darajaat, Part 6, Pg. 262
[3] Biharul Anwar; Vol. 52, Pg. 336
(230)
In that same book is related in a lengthy tradition from His Eminence, Abu Ja’far Baqir (a) with reference to the qualities of Imam Qaim (a) and the practice of His Eminence during the period of his reappearance that he said:
“…then he would return to Kufa and send those three hundred and thirteen persons to all the parts of the world. He would (also) stroke their shoulders and chests, (by which) they would not face any difficulty in any judgment and every part of the earth would echo with the call of:
And that is the implication of the words of the Almighty Allah:
“And to Him submits whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and to Him shall they be returned.”[1]
And the master of this affair is not such that he would agree to accept Jizyah like the Holy Prophet (s). And that is the meaning of the statement of the Almighty Allah:
“And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah.”[2]
In another tradition from His Eminence it is mentioned that he said:
“And in his time, wisdom would be bestowed to you; so much so that a woman would dispense justice from her home on the basis of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (s).”[3]
In another report from His Eminence it is stated that he remarked:
In Kharaij there is a tradition from the Chief of the Martyrs (a) that he said:
“Then the Almighty Allah would bestow a miracle to our Shias, such that nothing would be hidden from them. So much so, that a man from them would like to know what his family knows. He would inform them of what they know.”[5]
In Biharul Anwar, in a lengthy tradition from Amirul Momineen (a) it is mentioned that he said:
“Allah will render them both free from want out of His ampleness.”[6]
[1] Surah Aale Imran 3:83
[2] Biharul Anwar; Vol. 52, Pg. 345, Surah Anfaal 8:39
[3] Biharul Anwar; Vol. 52, Pg. 352
[4] Biharul Anwar; Vol. 52, Pg. 365
[5] Al-Kharaij; Pg. 138
[6] Surah Nisa 4:130
(231)
Would be realized on that day and the earth would expose its treasures for them and the Qaim (a) would say:
“Eat and drink pleasantly for what you did beforehand in the days gone by.”[1]
