I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Ridha (asws) complaining of my alienation from the people of ‘وَاسِطٍ’, and their burdening me, and they were from the Uthmaniyya group, hurting me’. So a reply came in his (asws) handwriting: ‘Surely Allah (azwj) has Taken a Covenant from our (asws) friends for the patience during the government of the falsehood. So be patient for the Judgement of your Lord (azwj). So when the chief of the creatures (Al-Qaim (asws)) makes a stand, they would say: “[36:52] They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent Allah promised and the messengers told the truth”.’
