1 Ḥadīth

سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنِ الطَّيَّارِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ سَنُرِيهِمْ آياتِنا فِي الْآفاقِ وَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ قَالَ خَسْفٌ وَ مَسْخٌ وَ قَذْفٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ قَالَ دَعْ ذَا ذَاكَ قِيَامُ الْقَائِمِ.


181. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Sa’albat Bin Maymoun, from Al-Tayyaar, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (a.s) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[41:53] We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth?”. He (a.s) said: ‘Submerging (in the ground), and metamorphosis, and stoning’. I said, ‘What about “until it will become quite clear to them”?’ He (a.s) said: ‘Leave that. That is the rising of the Rising One (Al-Qaim (a.s))’.
