Who is the Caller? By: Joseph McGowen

Qays al Hilali, one of the most
important books to the Shiah, where
Ja'far Al Sadiq (as) said, whoever does
not read this book does not know
anything of our matters..... we find a
hadith where Amir al Mu'minin Ali
ibn abi Talib (as) was addressing the
people on the Minbar and he said: "O
people, very soon I will not remain
with you, I am going to be separated
from you. I will either die or be
killed. The most evil person is
waiting to color my beard with the
blood flowing from my head. By Him
Who opens the seed and created
human being, you will not ask me
about that group that has reached 300
or more than that, from today till the
Day of Judgment. But I can inform
you who is the puller of that discord,
and who its leader is, and who is the
caller. I will tell you when that
ground will become empty and again
be occupied until the Day of
Judgment"
