شعيب بن أعين

I heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s) say: “There will be only a gap of fifteen days between the rising of the Qaim of Aale Muhammad and the killing of the Pure Soul (Nafse Zakiyyah).”

“I asked Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) to explain to me the saying of Amirul Mo’mineen (as) “Islam has begun strange and it will return strange as it has begun. Blessed are the strangers!” He said to me: “O Abu Muhammad, when al-Qa’im (as) appears, he will invite to a new mission as the Prophet (S) has done.” I got up, kissed his head and said to him: “I witness that you are my imam in this life and in the afterlife. I support your guardians and resist your enemies. I witness that you are the guardian of Allah.” He said: “May Allah have mercy upon you!”
