(16) Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed bin Oqda narrated from Ali bin al-Hasan from Muhammad bin Khalid from Tha’laba bin Maymoon that al-Hasan bin Haroon had said: Once I was sitting with Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq when al-Mu’alla bin Khunays asked him:

“Will al-Qa’im , when he appears, act unlike the way, in which Ali has acted?” He said: “Yes, he will. Ali has acted with leniency and forgiving because he has known that his Shia are going to be controlled after him. But al-Qa’im , when appears, will kill and capture because he knows that his Shia will not be defeated after him forever.”
