يعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ بِسِيمَاهُمْ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِالنَّوَاصِي وَالْأَقْدَامِ [الرحمن/۴۱]
(For) the sinners will be known by their marks: and they will be seized by their forelocks and their feet (Holy Qur`an, Surah AR-RAHMAN, verse 41)
Muʿāwiyah dohni said:
[Once] Imam Sadiq (pbuh) asked me,
“What are the people’s ideas about the meaning of the above verse?”
I answered, ‘They suppose God knows sinners by their marks, in Doomsday…’
[Then], the Imam (pbuh) stated [again],
‘Does God need to know guilty people by their marks, despite the fact that he created them?!’
I asked [again], ‘May I be thy ransomed! What is the meaning of the verse, then?’
The Imam (pbuh) stated, ‘When Imam Qa`em (mgehr) arises, God gives (grant) him the science of knowing [sinners by] their marks (so he knows them by their complexions and confronts them, then)”
