Ḥujjat al-Islām Ghera’ati:
We always say, “O’ Ḥujjat-ibn-al-Hasan1! May God expedite your reappearance”
Well, what will we do if Imam Zamān (mgehr) emerges now?
How can they pretend to look forward to the Emergence, the ones who [even] did not play any role in the revolution2?!
Those who feared and did not send their children to the war, ought to feel shy when they say ‘O,’ Imam Zamān (mgehr), Emerge.
Yes, when he emerges he will order, ‘Fight with the enemies”
While they have been hidden and scared!
Do you want to be a helper for Imam Zamān (mgehr)?
Those who cry two liters [cry a lot] for Imam Zamān (mgehr) but fear [even]to be slapped [by people] for Imam Zamān (mgehr), don’t deserve to be his majesty’s helper.

1- In fact, Shia Islam believes his majesty Mahdī (Imam Zamān) is considered as the last proof of Allah. That’s why he (Imam Zamān) is famous as Ḥujjat-ibn-al-Hasan. (Bihar-al-Anwār, Volume97, Page 343.)
2 – Here, it refers to the 1979 revolution in Iran
