Destruction is done in two ways:
a ) Inducing doubt: They [the enemies] destroy the addresses’ minds and distort the belief, by coining some questions and doubts, in a cunning way!
b) Humiliation and ridiculing: As in the early Islamic Era, the enemies usually ridicule the believers.
When His Excellency ʿAlī (pbuh) showed those brevities and sacrifices in in the Battle of Uhud1, Gabriel called,”الاسیف الّا دوالفقار، ولا فتی الّا علی”2 And the people who were present, heard it from the sky…
Zayd ibn Wahab3 told Ibn Masūd4, ‘ʿAlī resistance in Uhud was the matter of marvel!’
Ibn Masud reacted, ‘You are not the only one who wonders! Even the other angels were verily marveled! Haven’t you heard that while he was ascending to sky, Gabriel called, “الاسیف الّا دوالفقار، ولا فتی الّا علی?!
If you have doubts about the event [The Emergence], you will become sure by: seeing “Prophet of God (pbuh&h)’s promise, the flag, the arm”1, and one of Imām Huṣayn (pbuh)’s offspring “Nafs al- Zakiyyah”. But if you have doubts again, you will become definite by hearing “The Divine Call2” which calls upon his [Imām Mahdī (mgehr)’s] name and his divine duty3. (Tafsīr al- Najashi, Volume 1, Page 65)
There isn’t any valid account of “The goal of Nafs al- Zakiyyah by his activities which will lead him to martyrdom”! Therefore, the following cases aren’t conclusive:
1- He will be sent to Mecca by Imām al -ˈAsre [Imām Zamān (mgehr)], in order to give ultimatum1. So, they won’t later have any excuse not to help the Imām (mgehr).
In one or two narrations, they named [Al- Nafs] “Muḥammad ibn al- Haṣan”. But because they are weak in terms of document, they aren’t reliable.
In most narrations, he wasn’t pointed to by his real name. He was just pointed to, by the title or kind of that. They are such as:
1- Al- Nafs: This refers to the very Nafs al- Zakiyyah.
Zakūt [literally] means purity, growth and evolution. Therefore, Zakiyyah probably has two meaning:
1- Pure (which means, a person who hasn’t committed sin since her/ his birthday).
2- A perfect person, learned and eminent.
To confirm the first meaning, Salmān narrated, “Be aware! A person with a pure and innocent Nafs [ego/soul] will come, who will be killed between Rukn and Maqām
After suppressing the opponents, Sufyanī and his large army, will rush into Iraq. So they will head Iraq. When they reach toQirq (Acity in Syria where khabur and Euphrates rivers meet) there will happen a battle and many people will be killed! Perhaps the reasonof such a decimation, is resisting the rulers of the land against Sufyanī’s avarice.
According to an authentic hadith by Imām Sadīq (pbuh), ‘After Sufyanī occupies the safe zones [Damascus, Homs, Palestine, Chalcis ad Belum [in Halab]and Jordan], he will run for nine months…’ (Al- Ghaybah, Tūsī, Ibid, 452)
He will send two different armies to Median and Iraq, coincidently! Well, Imām Mahdī (mgehr)’s governing station is of special importance for him. Hence, he will rush into Shia- inhabited cities of Kūfah, and his huge attacks will strike the people!
[Many] people’s concern is their bellies and passions. Yet, they don’t care how they earn livelihood [is it legit or not], and how to calm the passion! They care about colorful foods and drinks. And they have got used to be proud of their clothes and ranks! They make firm and beautiful palaces, [but they] teach each other the absurd lessons!
