سورة المدثر

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Mufaddal ibn Umar narrates from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) that regarding this verse: فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِی النَّاقُورِ [For when the trumpet is sounded], he said: "Indeed, among us there will be an Imam, victorious and hidden, and whenever Allah the Mighty and Majestic wishes to bring His command into manifestation, He places a mark upon the heart of that hidden Imam (may Allah hasten his noble reappearance), and that Imam will appear and carry out the command of Allah the Mighty and Majestic."

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): Jabir ibn Yazid narrates from Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) that he said: فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِی النَّاقُورِ [For when the trumpet is sounded] — the Naqur is a call from the heavens which says: your guardian is so-and-so son of so-and-so, the one who rises with the truth. Jibril will repeat that call three hours on that day, and that day is a difficult day, not easy for the disbelievers. What is meant by "the disbelievers" is the Murji'a sect, who disbelieved in the blessings of Allah and in the wilaya of Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him).

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him) who said: When the verse فَإِذا نُقِرَ فِی النَّاقُورِ [For when the trumpet is sounded] was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: "How can I be at ease, while the master of the trumpet has taken the horn into his mouth and bent his forehead, listening for when he will be commanded?" We said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), what should we say?" He said: "Say: حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَکِیلُ [Allah is sufficient for us and He is the best Guardian] (Aal Imran/173), وَ عَلَی اللهِ تَوَکَّلْنا [and upon Allah alone we have relied] (Al-A'raf/89)."
