In a long tradition commenting on the “ALMS” in “Alif, Lam, Mim, Sad” - The Holy Quran Al-A’raf 7:1- Imam Baqir (a.s) told Labid: “whoever thinks that there is any vagueness in God's Book is ruined.” He then paused a little and added: “A is one, L is thirty, M is forty and S is ninety.” Then Labid asked him: “This adds up to the number 161. What does that imply?” Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “O' Labid! God shall take away the rule of a tribe in the year 161.”
قال الباقر (عليه السلام) في خبر طويل في تفسير المص في رواية لبيد: فمن زعم إن كتاب الله مبهم فقد هلك، ثم أمسك فقال: الألف واحدة، واللام ثلاثون، والميم أربعون، والصاد تسعون، فقلت: هذه إحدى وستون ومائة، فقال: يا لبيد، إذا دخلت سنة إحدى وستين ومائة سلب الله قوما سلطانهم.
