Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Verily you will be put in tense perplexity and be finely filtered, until you are turned upside down; then certain people will surpass [others] after having lagged behind, while those who were ahead fall back.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لَتُبَلْبَلُنّ بَلْبَلةً، ولَتُغربَلُنّ غَرْبَلةً ،حتّى يعودَ أسفلُكُم أعلاكم، وأعلاكم أسفلَكُم، وليَسبقنّ سَبّاقونَ كانوا قَصَّروا، وليُقَصِّرَنَّ سبّاقونَ كانوا سَبَقوا.
