قَالَ الإِمَامُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ : مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ وَ هُوَ مُنْـتَظِـرٌ لِهٌذَا الأَمْرِ كَمَنْ هُوَ مَعَ الْقَائِمِ فِي فِسْطَاطِهِ ... لاَ بَلْ كَمَنْ قَارَعَ مَعَهُ بِسَيْفِهِ ... لاَ وَ اللٌّهِ إِلاَّ كَمَنِ اُسْـتُشْهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللٌّهِ .
Imam Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (peace be upon both of them) said: “The person from amongst you who dies while awaiting this command [the advent of Imam al-Mahdi] is like a person who was with al-Qa’im in his tent … no rather, he would be like a person who was fighting along-side him with his sword … no rather, by Allah, he would be like the person who attained martyrdom along-side the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family).”
