away my comfort and has deprived tranquility from my heart. My master, your occultation hasfastened my grief and sorrow forever. Due to loss of friends one after the other, our gathering hasbeen broken. I do not feel the tears of my eyes and the yelling and crying of my heart which resultfrom the past calamities and hardships but that I see the same in my imagination which is greater,more sorrowful, severe and unknown than all other difficulties.Sadir says: Our mind became perplexed (by witnessing Imam's condition) and our hearts becameupset as a result of Imam's terrifying words about the destructible events. We thought that thecalamities and misfortunes of the day, which had befallen on Imam, had brought him to this stateof grief and sorrow. So we said: 'O son of the best mankind. May <strong>All</strong>ah not cause you to cry? Forwhat reason are you weeping and what has made you to moan to such earnest?

Imam Sadeq (A.S.) said: The three characteristics which <strong>All</strong>ah has assigned for three ofHis Prophets have been assigned for our 'Qaem' too.

In addition <strong>All</strong>ahhas set the long‐life of Hazrat Khizr as a proof for the Qaem's long‐life.Narrator says: I said: 'O son of Messenger of <strong>All</strong>ah, explain these affairs so that they become clearfor us. He replied: With regards to Musa's birth, it should be said that when Firaun (Pharaon)realized and feared that his kingdom would fall by Musa's hand, he summoned the wizards. Thewizards guided Firaun in the genealogy of Musa and said: "Musa shall come from Bani‐Israel."As a result, Firaun always ordered his men to slit the bellies of the pregnant women belonging tothe tribe of Bani‐Israel.
