Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 432
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قُلْ ما أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَ ما أَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعالَمِينَ قَالَ هُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) وَ لَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُ بَعْدَ حِينٍ قَالَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ الْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام) وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَقَدْ آتَيْنا مُوسَى الْكِتابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ قَالَ اخْتَلَفُوا كَمَا اخْتَلَفَتْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ فِي الْكِتَابِ وَ سَيَخْتَلِفُونَ فِي الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي مَعَ الْقَائِمِ الَّذِي يَأْتِيهِمْ بِهِ حَتَّى يُنْكِرُهُ نَاسٌ كَثِيرٌ فَيُقَدِّمُهُمْ فَيَضْرِبُ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَوْ لا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ قَالَ لَوْ لَا مَا تَقَدَّمَ فِيهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا أَبْقَى الْقَائِمُ (عليه السلام) مِنْهُمْ وَاحِداً وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ قَالَ بِخُرُوجِ الْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام) وَ قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اللَّهِ رَبِّنا ما كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ يَعْنُونَ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قُلْ جاءَ الْحَقُّ وَ زَهَقَ الْباطِلُ قَالَ إِذَا قَامَ الْقَائِمُ (عليه السلام) ذَهَبَتْ دَوْلَةُ الْبَاطِلِ.
432. And by the above chain (of narrators), who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام regarding the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[38:86] Say: “No reward do I ask of you for this nor am I a pretender [38:87] It is nothing but a reminder to the nations”. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘It (the Reminder) is Amir-ul- Momineen عليه الصلاة والسلام’. “[38:88] And most certainly you will come to know about it after a time”. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘During the coming out of Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام’. And with regards to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic “[11:110] We certainly gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose therein”. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘They differed just like this community has differed regarding the Book, and they will be differing with regards to the Book with Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام which he عليه الصلاة والسلام will be coming to them with, to the extent that numerous people would deny it. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام will march against them and strike their necks. And as for the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[42:21] And but for a decisive word it would have been judged between them. Lo! for wrong-doers is a painful Punishment”. Had it not been for what had preceded among them from Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic, Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام would not let remain any one among them’. And with regards to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[70:26] And those who accept the truth of the Judgement day”, he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The coming out of Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام’. And the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[6:23] By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists”, he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘It means the Wilayah of Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام ‘. And with regards to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[17:81] And say: The truth has come and the falsehood has vanished; surely falsehood is a vanishing (thing)”, he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘When Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام makes the stand the governments of the falsehood will be destroyed’.
