496- وعنه، عن علي بن عبدالله، عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي عبدالله، عن أبي الجارود قال: قال أبوجعفر عليه السلام: إن القائم يملك ثلاثمائة وتسع سنين كما لبث أهل الكهف في كهفهم، يملأ الأرض عدلاً وقسطاً كما ملئت ظلماً وجوراً، ويفتح الله له شرق الارض وغربها، ويقتل الناس حتى لا يبقى إلا دين محمد صلى الله عليه وآله، يسير بسيرة سليمان بن داود…تمام الخبر.
H 496 - It is narrated from Fadhl from Ali bin Abdullah from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Abdullah from Abul Jarud from Imam Muhammad Baqir that he said: “The Qaim will rule for 309 years equal to the number of years the folks of the cave (Ashab Kahf) remained in their cave. He would fill the earth with justice and equity as it would be fraught with injustice and oppression. After that the Almighty Allah will conquer the east and the west of the earth for him and kill the people till no religion remains, except that of Muhammad (s). He (the Qaim) will operate like Sulaiman bin Dawood. He would call out to the Sun and the Moon and they would respond to him and the earth shall be illuminated by his effulgence and divine revelation would descend for him and he would act according to divine commands and revelation.”
