وَلَئِنْ أَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ

“And if We hold back from them the punishment until a stated period of time (reappearance of Imam Zamana (a.s.))…”(Surah Hud 11:8)

لَيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهُٓ

“…they will certainly say: What prevents it (reappearance of Imam Zamana)?”

أَلَا يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفًا عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ

“Now surely on the day when it will come to them, it shall not be averted from them and that which they scoffed at shall beset them.”(Surah Hud 11:8)
It is narrated from Amirul Momineen (a.s.) that he said in explanation of this verse: “Ummatun Madooda” implies companions of Qaim of Aale Muhammad (a.s.), who will be 313 in number.
And in Tafsir Ayyashi it is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that he said: The Almighty Allah in a moment will gather the companions of our Qaim like the dispersed clouds of autumn.

And in Ghaibat Nomani it is narrated from Ishaq bin Abdul Aziz from the Imam (a.s.) that he said:

وَلَئِنْ أَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ

“And if We hold back from them the punishment until a stated period of time…”(Surah Hud 11:8)
This punishment is reappearance of Imam Zamana (a.s.) and ‘Ummate Madooda’ are his companions, who will be equal to the number of soldiers of Battle of Badr (313 persons). ¹

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَآ أَنْ أَخْرِجْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَذَكِّرْهُمْ بِأَيَّامِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ

“And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications, saying: Bring forth your people from utter darkness into light and remind them of the days of Allah; most surely there are signs in this for every patient, grateful one.” (Surah Ibrahim 14:5)
“The Days of Allah are three: The Day of the reappearance of the Qaim, the Day of death and Judgment Day.”
In Khisaal Saduq it is narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) that he said: “The Days of Allah are three: The Day of the reappearance of the Qaim, the day of Rajat and Judgment Day. And also Saduq has narrated this traditional report in Maniul Akhbar. ¹

وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِنْ بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ

“And certainly We wrote in the Book after the reminder that (as for) the land, My righteous servants shall inherit it.” (Surah Anbiya 21:105)
And We inscribed in the Psalms following the Reminder. He said: “All Divine Books are Reminders.” My honorable servants shall inherit the earth.
He said: “That is the Qaim (a.s.) and his companions.”
The author says: According to Ali bin Ibrahim, “All Divine Books are Reminders” means that the verse means, “After We wrote in the other revealed Books.” Other interpreters have said that the Torah is intended by the Zabur, which we translated above as Psalms. Some have said that Zabur means all of the Divine Books and “remembrance” is the Protected Tablet (Lawh Mahfuz). ¹

أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ

“Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them;” (Surah Hajj 22:39)
Ibne Abi Umair narrates on the authority of Abdullah Ibne Miskan from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) in the context of the holy verse: “The Ahle Sunnat says that this verse was revealed about the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) when the Quraish expelled him from Mecca. However, it is the Qaim (a.s.) when he rises to avenge the blood of Husain (a.s.), saying, ‘We are the heirs of the blood and the seekers of vengeance.’”
And in Ghaibat Nomani it is narrated from Asbatul Wasiyya of Masudi from the Imam (a.s.) that he said: the verse of:

أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ

“Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them;” (Surah Hajj 22:39)
…was revealed about our Qaim and his companions. ¹

ذَٰلِكَ وَمَنْ عَاقَبَ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبَ بِهِ ثُمَّ بُغِيَ عَلَيْهِ لَيَنْصُرَنَّهُ اللَّهُ

“That (shall be so); and he who retaliates with the like of that with which he has been afflicted and he has been oppressed, Allah will most certainly aid him…” (Surah Hajj 22:60)

And whosoever chastises, that is, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) to the extent that he was chastised, that is, when they desired to murder him, and then again is oppressed. Surely Allah will help him through Qaim (a.s.) from his progeny. ¹

الَّذِينَ إِنْ مَكَّنَّاهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكَاةَ

“Those who, should We establish them in the land, will keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate…” (Surah Hajj 22:41)
“These are the qualities of Aale Muhammad (a.s.) to the last of the Imams, the Mahdi and his companions. Allah will give them the kingdom of the earth, its easts and its wests. Through him, He will manifest the religion and through him and his companions, He will eradicate heresy and falsity, as the foolish have tried to eradicate righteousness, until it will not be visible where is oppression. And they will be encouraging the right and discouraging the wrong.” ¹
