Tranquility and Ease in the Era of the Imam

 

قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ : وَ لَوْ قَدْ قَامَ قَائِمُنَا لأَنْـزَلَتِ السَّمَآءُ قَطْرَهَا وَ لأَخْرَجَتِ الأَرْضُ نَبَاتَهَا وَ لَذَهَبَتِ الشَّحْنَاءُ مِنْ قُـلُوبِ الْعِبَادِ وَ اصْطَلَحَتِ السِّـبَاعُ وَ الْبَهَائِمُ حَتَّى تَمْشِي الْمَرْأَةُ بَيْنَ الْعِرَاقِ إِلـى الشَّامِ لاَ تَضَعُ ُقَدَمَيْهَا إِلاَّ عَلى النَّبَاتِ وَ عَلى رَأْسِهَا زِبِّيلُهَا (زِينَتُهَا) لاَ يُهَيِّجُهَا سَبُعٌ وَ لاَ تَخَافُهُ.

 

The Commander of the Faithful, ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon both of them) said: “When our Qa’im makes his advent, the skies will send down their rain; the Earth will bring forth its produce; enmity will be removed from the hearts of the servants; wild animals and beasts will live [in peace] with one another and will not stampede each other; [and life will be such that] if a woman wanted to walk from ‘Iraq to Sham (Syria), then every step that she took will be on luscious, green grass and she will be able to display her adornments (jewelry, etc…) [and not a single person will try and steal them from her] – no animal will attack her, nor will she have any fear about them [the wild beasts].”
