1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from ya‘qub al-Sarraj and Ali ibn Ri’ab from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. “When people pledged allegiance to Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) after the assassination of ‘Uthman he addressed the people from the pulpit and delivered a sermon (that abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) mentioned). In this sermon he has said, “The time for your trial has returned in the same conditions as those of the day Allah sent his Prophet (s.a.). By the One Who has sent him with the truth that you will suffer hideous confusions, will be sifted thoroughly and turned upside down. Of the contestants those who were behind of others will overtake those who were ahead and those who were ahead of others (because of their shortcomings) will be left behind of those who once were behind of others. By Allah I have not concealed any of the marks therein nor have I spoken a lie. I was certainly, told about this place and this day.”

2. Muhammad Yahya and al-Hassan ibn Muhammad have narrated from al-Qasim ibn ’Isma‘il al-Anbari from al-Husayn ibn Ali from abu al-Mighra’ from abu Yah Ya‘fur who has said the following. “I heard abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say as herein below, ‘Woe to the rebellious Arabs from the matter that is coming closer.’0” I then asked, May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, “How many people will be there with Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority)?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “just a very few persons.” I then said, “Those who speak of this matter (the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority) are quite many in number.” The Imam (a.s.) said, “People must be refined, distinguished and sifted. In the sifting process a great deal is taken out.”

2- Muhammad ibn Yahya et al-Hasan ibn Muhammad, de Ja'far ibn Muhammad, de al-Qasim ibn Isma'il al-Anbari, de al-Husayn ibn Ali, d'Abu al-Maghra', d'Ibn Abi Ya'fur, ont rapporté avoir entendu Abu 'Abdullah (sur lui la paix) dire : "Malheur aux oppresseurs parmi les Arabes, d'une affaire qui s'approche." J'ai dit : "Puissé-je être ton sacrifice, combien y aura-t-il de partisans du Qa'im parmi les Arabes ?" Il a dit : "Un petit nombre." J'ai dit : "Par Allah, ceux qui décriront cet événement parmi eux seront nombreux." Il a dit : "Il est nécessaire que les gens soient éprouvés, distingués, purifiés, et qu'une grande quantité de gens soient extraits dans le tamis."

Muhammad ibn Yahya and al-Hassan ibn Muhammad have narrated from Ja’far ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad al-Sayrafi from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Sayqal from his father from Mansur who has said the following. “Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) said to me, “O Mansur, this matter (the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority) will not come to you before despair, and not, by Allah, before (your good ones are) distinguished (from evil ones) and not, by Allah, before you are refined and not, by Allah, before tuning to misfortune of those who act in evil and before reaching salvation of those who seek salvation.”

Muhammad ibn Yahya, Al-Hassan ibn Muhammad, de Ja'far ibn Muhammad, de Al-Hassan ibn Muhammad As-Sayrafi, de Ja'far ibn Muhammad As-Sayqali, de son père, de Mansour, a dit : Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) m'a dit : "Ô Mansour, cette affaire ne vous parviendra qu'après le désespoir. Par Allah, jusqu'à ce que vous soyez distingués, par Allah, jusqu'à ce que vous soyez éprouvés, par Allah, jusqu'à ce que ceux qui souffrent souffrent et que ceux qui sont heureux soient heureux."

4. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Mu‘ammar ibn al-Khallad who has said the following. “I heard abu al-Hassan (a.s.) say, “Do people think they will not be tested because they say, “We have faith?” (29:2). Then he said, “Do you know what al-Fitna, trial is?” I said, May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, in our opinion it is the trial and test in religion. The Imam (a.s.) said, “They will be test and refined as gold is tested.” He then said, “They will be purified as gold is purified and refined.”

Nombre de nos compagnons rapportent d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad, de Mu'ammar ibn Khalad, qui a dit : J'ai entendu Abou al-Hassan (que la paix soit sur lui) dire : "Les gens ne pensent-ils pas qu'ils seront laissés dire 'Nous croyons' sans être éprouvés ?" Puis il m'a demandé : "Qu'est-ce que l'épreuve ?" J'ai répondu : "Je te sacrifie pour celui qui est avec nous, l'épreuve est dans la religion." Il a dit : "Ils seront éprouvés comme l'or est éprouvé, puis ils seront purifiés comme l'or est purifié."

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Sulayman ibn Salih in a Marfu‘ manner from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following. “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.) has said, ‘Your story (belief in the rise of al- Mahdi with Divine authority) causes apprehension in the hearts of people. Those who acknowledge it (belief in the rise of al- Mahdi with Divine authority) you should enlighten him further and those who would deny it you should leave them alone. There must come a period of trial in which all secrets and privacy will be no more even those who would like to split one piece of hair into two pieces to find a better argument would fall until no one would be left except we and our Shi‘a.”

5- Ali ibn Ibrahim a rapporté de Muhammad ibn Isa, de Yunus, de Sulayman ibn Salih, qui a rapporté d'Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) qui a dit : "Vos paroles vont certainement diviser les cœurs des hommes. Celui qui les accepte, renforcez-le, et celui qui les rejette, laissez-le. Il est inévitable qu'une épreuve survienne, où chaque hypocrite et imposteur sera démasqué, jusqu'à ce qu'il ne reste plus que nous et nos partisans."

6. Muhammad ibn al-Hassan and Ali ibn Muhammad have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Sayqal from his father who has said the following. “Once I, al-Harith ibn al-Mughira and a group of our people were in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who could hear our conversations. He asked ask us, “What is the issue in your dialogue? It will not happen and it will never happen. By Allah, what you are looking to will not take place before you are sifted, by Allah, what you are longing for will not happen until you are refined, by Allah, what you are looking will not happen before you are distinguished, by Allah, what you looking for will not take place before you despair, by Allah, what you are looking to will not take place before misfortune would strike those who become unfortunate and before the fortunate ones attain salvation.”

Il nous a dit : 'Dans quoi vous vous engagez ! Par Dieu, ce vers quoi vous tendez ne se réalisera pas avant que vos yeux ne soient purifiés. Par Dieu, ce vers quoi vous tendez ne se réalisera pas avant que vous ne soyez examinés. Par Dieu, ce vers quoi vous tendez ne se réalisera pas avant que vous ne soyez distingués. Par Dieu, ce vers quoi vous tendez ne se réalisera pas avant que vous ne soyez désespérés. Par Dieu, ce vers quoi vous tendez ne se réalisera pas avant que ceux qui méritent le malheur ne soient malheureux et que ceux qui méritent le bonheur ne soient heureux.'"
