1 hadith
سَهْلٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ هَلْ أَتاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغاشِيَةِ قَالَ يَغْشَاهُمُ الْقَائِمُ بِالسَّيْفِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خاشِعَةٌ قَالَ خَاضِعَةٌ لَا تُطِيقُ الِامْتِنَاعَ قَالَ قُلْتُ عامِلَةٌ قَالَ عَمِلَتْ بِغَيْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ ناصِبَةٌ قَالَ نَصَبَتْ غَيْرَ وُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ تَصْلى ناراً حامِيَةً قَالَ تَصْلَى نَارَ الْحَرْبِ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى عَهْدِ الْقَائِمِ وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ .
13. Sahl, from Muhammad, from his father has narrated: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام having said when it was said to him عليه الصلاة والسلام “[88:1] Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?”, he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘They will be overwhelmed by the sword of the Rising One (Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام)’. He said, ‘I said, (What about) “[88:2] Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated”?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘They will be so humiliated that they will not be able to bear the exclusion’. He said, ‘I asked. ‘(What about) “[88:3] Labouring”?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Labouring for other than what Allah عز وجل Revealed’. I then asked, (What about) “[88:3] Appointing”?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام replied: ‘Having appointed other than the Master عليه الصلاة والسلام of the Command (Wali Al-Amr)’. He says then I asked, (What about) “[88:4] Entering into burning fire”?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام replied: ‘Entering into the fire of the war in the world during the era of the Rising One (Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام), and in the Hereafter the Fire of Hell’.
