Al-Qa’im’s aspects and deeds

(16) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed bin Oqda narrated from Ali bin al-Hasan from Muhammad bin Khalid from Tha’laba bin Maymoon that al-Hasan bin Haroon had said: Once I was sitting with Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq عليه السلام when al-Mu’alla bin Khunays asked him: “Will al-Qa’im عليه السلام, when he appears, act unlike the way, in which Ali عليه السلام has acted?” He said: “Yes, he will. Ali has acted with leniency and forgiving because he has known that his Shia are going to be controlled after him. But al-Qa’im عليه السلام, when appears, will kill and capture because he knows that his Shia will not be defeated after him forever.”
