                  It  was  narrated  on  the                So  close  the  doors  of
               authority  of  Imam  Mahdi:  As              asking about what does
               for the reason for what happened             not concern you, and do
               from occultation, then God says:             not    burden     yourself
                      “O you who believe, do                with  the  height  of  what
                      not  ask  about  things               you  have  sufficed  and

                      that  appear  to  you  that           pray more By hastening
                      would cause you distress,             the  relief,  for  that  is
                      for there was not one of              your  relief,  and  peace
                      my  fathers  who  did  not            be  upon  you,  O  Ishaq
                      have     a    pledge    of            bin  Yaqub,  and  upon
                      allegiance  to  the  tyrant           those who follow guidance”.

                      of  his  time,  and  I  will          (Majlisi, 2006, Vol. 52: 91)
                      come out When I go out,
                      and  there  is  no  pledge        In  another  narration  on  the
                      of  allegiance  to  one  of    authority  of  Imam  Sadiq,  he
                      the  tyrants  in  my  neck,    says:
                      and  as  for  the  way  of            “The  owner  of  this
                      benefiting     from    me             matter has a disappointment
                      during  my  occultation,              in which every invalidator

                      it is like benefiting from            will be suspicious”.
                      the  sun  when  it  is            I  said  to  him:  Why  did  I
                      hidden from the clouds,        make your ransom? He said:
                      and  I  am  safe  for  the            “For  a  matter  that  we
                      people  of  the  earth  as            were  not  authorized  to

                      the  stars  are  safety  for          reveal to you”.
                      the people of heaven.
