Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Ismail Bin Jabir, from Abu Khalid, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام regarding the Statement of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic: “[2:148] therefore hasten to (do) good works; wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together”. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Good works is a reference to Al-Wilayah, and the Words of the Blessed and the High: “wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together” mean the companions of Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام, three hundred and some ten men’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘And they are, by Allah عز وجل, a numbered community’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘By Allah عز وجل they would gather together in a single moment, like clouds in the autumn’.
