[Machine] Ali, then, shook his hand seven times and said, "This will come out at the end of time when a man says, 'Allah, Allah, I am killed,' and Allah, the Exalted, will gather for him a scattered people like the scattering of clouds. Allah will join their hearts, and they will not depend on or rejoice in anyone who joins them, comparing them to the number of the Companions of Badr. The first will not precede them, nor will the latter overtake them, and they will be like the number of the Companions of Talut who crossed the river with him." Abu Tufail said, "Ibn Hanafiyyah said, 'Do you want to see them?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'They will come out from between these two wooden beams.' I said, 'By Allah, I will not see them until I die.' So Makkah was guarded by Allah, the Exalted."  

عَلِيٌّ هَيْهَاتَ ثُمَّ عَقَدَ بِيَدِهِ سَبْعًا فَقَالَ ذَاكَ يَخْرُجُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ اللَّهَ اللَّهَ قُتِلَ فَيَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ قَوْمًا قُزُعًا كَقَزَعِ السَّحَابِ يُؤَلِّفُ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ لَا يَسْتَوْحِشُونَ إِلَى أَحَدٍ وَلَا يَفْرَحُونَ بِأَحَدٍ يَدْخُلُ فِيهِمْ عَلَى عِدَّةُ أَصْحَابِ بَدْرٍ لَمْ يَسْبِقْهُمُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَلَا يُدْرِكُهُمُ الْآخِرُونَ وَعَلَى عَدَدِ أَصْحَابِ طَالُوتَ الَّذِينَ جَاوَزُوا مَعَهُ النَّهَرَ قَالَ أَبُو الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ ابْنُ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ أَتُرِيدُهُ؟ قُلْتُ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ إِنَّهُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ هَذَيْنِ الْخَشَبَتَيْنِ قُلْتُ «لَا جَرَمَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أُرِيهِمَا حَتَّى أَمُوتَ» فَمَاتَ بِهَا يَعْنِي مَكَّةَ حَرَسَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى
