157. Ja’far, from Anbasar, from Jabir, from Abu Ja’far (asws) having said that
‘If Allah (azwj) Intends to Terminate the affairs of a people, He (azwj) Commands the orbit to be Accelerated, in accordance to what He (azwj) Intends’.
جَعْفَرٌ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ فَنَاءَ دَوْلَةِ قَوْمٍ أَمَرَ الْفَلَكَ فَأَسْرَعَ السَّيْرَ فَكَانَتْ عَلَى مِقْدَارِ مَا يُرِيدُ.
