Signs preceding the reappearance of Imam Mahdi عليه السلام

H 475 - Ibn Abi Umair has narrated from Jamil bin Darraj from Zurarah bin Ayin from Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام that he said: If Almighty Allah wishes, He has the right to admit the deviated ones to Paradise and it is preferable for Him and not a defect. Zurarah asked: May I be your ransom, how is that possible? Imam عليه السلام replied: The speaking one [Imam] passes away and the silent one also does not say anything. On the basis of this a person who dies between these two in this period would be admitted to Paradise by Almighty Allah.
