Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): On that day the Qa'im (may Allah hasten his noble relief) will be in Makkah. There he will lean his back against the House of Allah, and while taking refuge in it he will say: "O people! We seek help from Allah and from whoever accepts our call. I am from the family of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), your Prophet. We are closer than anyone to Allah and to Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). Whoever wishes to dispute with me about Adam (peace be upon him), let him know that I am closer than anyone to Adam (peace be upon him). Whoever wishes to speak with me concerning Nuh (peace be upon him), let him know that I am closer than anyone to Nuh (peace be upon him). Whoever wishes to dispute with me about Ibrahim (peace be upon him), let him know that I am the closest of people to Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Whoever wishes to dispute with me about Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), let him know that I am closer than anyone to Muhammad. Whoever wishes to dispute with me about the prophets (peace be upon them), let him know that I am closer than anyone to the prophets (peace be upon them). Has not Allah said in His firm Book: إِنَّ اللهَ اصْطَفی آدَمَ وَنُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْراهِیمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرانَ عَلَی الْعالَمِینَ * ذُرِّیَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللهُ سَمِیعٌ عَلِیمٌ [Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations, offspring, one from another, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing]? Know that I am the remnant of Adam (peace be upon him), the treasure of Nuh (peace be upon him), the chosen one of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and the elect of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). Beware! Whoever wishes to speak with me about the Book of Allah (the Quran), let him know that I am more acquainted than anyone with the Book of Allah. Beware! Whoever wishes to dispute with me about the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), I am more acquainted than anyone with the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family). I adjure you by Allah, whoever hears my words, let those present convey them to those absent. I ask you, by the right of Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him and his family) and by my own right, since I am from the household of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), that you help us and drive the oppressors away from us."
