1- Ikmal ad-Din: It is narrated from Muzaffar Alawi from Ibn Ayyash from his father from Jibra’il Ibn Ahmad from Musa Ibn Ja’far Baghdadi from Hasan Ibn Muhammad Sairafi from Hannan Ibn Sudair from his father, Sudair Ibn Hakeem from his father from Abu Sa’id Uqeesa that he said:

When Hasan Ibn ‘Ali (‘a) signed the peace treaty with Muawiyah Ibn Abi Sufiyan, people went to him and some of them criticized him for it. The Imam said: “Woe unto you! You do not know what I did. By Allah, what I have done is better for my Shi’a than all the riches upon which the sun has risen and set. Don’t you know that I am your Imam, whose obedience is obligatory upon you, and one of the two chiefs of the people of the Garden on the virtue of explicit saying of the Messenger of Allah (S)?”

They said: “Indeed so.” He said: “Don’t you know that when Khizr tore the boat and killed the boy and erected the wall, that was very harsh for Musa Ibn Imran (‘a), since its wisdom was hidden to him, which was wisdom and propriety before Allah?

Don’t you know there is no one of us except a pledge of allegiance to the tyrant of his time falls on his neck except the Qa’im behind whom Ruhullah Isa Ibn Maryam will pray? For Allah, the Exalted, will hide his birth and conceal his person, so there will not be any commitment of allegiance on his neck for anyone when he rises. He is the ninth from the children of my brother Husayn, the son of Fatimah, the Mistress of bondmaids. Allah will prolong his life in his occultation. Then he will bring him forth through His power in the figure of a youth of less than forty years, so it may be known that Allah is All-Powerful over everything. “

2- Ikmal ad-Din: It is narrated from Abd al-Wahid Ibn Muhammad Ibn Abdus from Abu Amr Laithi from Muhammad Ibn Masud from ‘Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Shajja from Muhammad Ibn Isa from Ibn Abu Umair from Abdur Rahman Ibn Hajjaj from Ja’far Ibn Muhammad (‘a) from his father Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali (‘a) from his father ‘Ali Ibn Husayn that Imam al-Husayn (‘a) said:

“Blessings of Allah be unto them; in the ninth son of mine there is a tradition from Yusuf and a tradition from Musa, the son of Imran. He is the Qa’im of us Ahl al-Bayt. Allah, the High, will restitute his affair in a single night.”

3- Ikmal ad-Din: Maghazi has narrated from Ibn Uqdah from Ahmad Ibn Musa Ibn Furat from Abd al-Wahid Ibn Muhammad from Sufiyan from Abdullah Ibn Zubair from Abdullah Ibn Sharik on the authority of a man from Hamadan, saying:

I heard Husayn Ibn ‘Ali, Allah’s blessings be unto them both, say, “The Qa’im of this Ummah is the ninth from my progeny. He is the man of the occultation. And he is the one whose inheritance is distributed while he is alive.”

4- Ikmal ad-Din: It is narrated from Hamadani from ‘Ali from his father from Abdus Salam Harawi from Waki Ibn Jarrah from Rabi Ibn Saad from Abdur Rahman Ibn Salit that Imam al-Husayn (‘a) said:

“There are Twelve Guides from us; their first is Amir al-Mu’minin ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib (‘a) and their last is the ninth from my sons and he is the Imam, the Establisher of the Truth. Allah will revive the earth after its death. He will uplift the right religion through him over all religions, dislike may the polytheists. He will have an occultation in which nations will apostatize and many more will stay firm on the religion. They will be maltreated and asked: When is this promise, if you are truthful?

Behold, the one who remains steadfast during his occultation despite maltreatments and falsifications, is in the position of a warrior with the sword in the way of Allah in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (S).”

5- Ikmal ad-Din: It is narrated from ‘Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan Qazwini from Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Hadhrami from Ahmad Ibn Yahya Hawl from Khallad Muqri from Qays Ibn Abu Hasin from Yahya Ibn Wathab from Abdullah Ibn Umar that he said: I heard Husayn Ibn ‘Ali (‘a) say:

“Even if there should not remain but a single day from the world, Allah, the Exalted, will prolong that day so much that a man from my progeny will rise. He will fill the earth with justice and equity as it will be replete with injustice and oppression. So I heard the Messenger of Allah (S) say.”

6- Ikmal ad-Din: Shaykh as-Saduq has narrated from his father from Muhammad Ibn Yahya Attar from Ja’far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Malik from Hamadan Ibn Mansur from Saad Ibn Muhammad from Isa Khashshab that he said:

I said to Husayn Ibn ‘Ali (‘a), “Are you the Awaited Patron of this Enterprise?” He said: “No, rather, the Patron of this Enterprise is the runaway fugitive, the son of a non-avenged father, called by the patronymic of his uncle. He will put his sword on his shoulder for eight months.”

7- Ghaybah at-Tusi: A group has narrated from Talakbari from Ahmad Ibn ‘Ali from Ahmad Ibn Idris from Ibn Qutaibah from Fadhl from Amr Ibn Uthman from Muhammad Ibn Ghazafar from Uqbah Ibn Yunus from Abdullah Ibn Sharik who says in a lengthy narration that al-Husayn (‘a) passed by a group of Umayyads sitting in the Masjid of the Messenger (S). He said:

“Behold, by Allah, the world will not end until Allah sends a man from my seed, who will kill from you one thousand and with the thousand another thousand and with the thousand another thousand.”

I asked, “May I be your ransom. They are the sons of so-and-so and they do not reach this number.” The Imam said: “Look at you! At that time, a man will have from his seed so-and-so many men. And the chief of our people will be from themselves.”
