“Al-Qa’im will appear on the day of Ashura.” All these signs that have been mentioned by the infallible imams (as) throughout the current true traditions, which are so numerous, must occur before the appearance of al-Qa’im (as) because the infallible imams (as) have said that they are inevitable and surely their sayings are the most truthful. It has been said to them: “We hope that al-Qa’im (as) appears without being preceded by the rising of as-Sufyani.” They said: “By Allah it is inevitable and it must occur.” They have confirmed that the five signs will be the greatest evidences, after which al-Qa’im (as) will appear. They have denied timing and said: “Whoever narrates from us traditions talking about timing, do not hesitate in considering him as a liar whoever he is because we do not time.” This is clear evidence showing the falseness of whoever claims that he is al-Qa’im before the occurrence of these signs.
