٥ وَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى- وَ مَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُوماً فَقَدْ جَعَلْنا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطاناً فَلا يُسْرِفْ فِي الْقَتْلِ إِنَّهُ كانَ مَنْصُوراً قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَائِمُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَخْرُجُ فَيَقْتُلُ بِدَمِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فَلَوْ قَتَلَ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُسْرِفاً وَ قَوْلُهُ فَلا يُسْرِفْ فِي الْقَتْلِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيَصْنَعَ شَيْئاً يَكُونُ سَرَفاً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) يَقْتُلُ وَ اللَّهِ ذَرَارِيَّ قَتَلَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) بِفَعَالِ آبَائِهَا
5. Muĥammad ibn Ĥasan ibn Aĥmad narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Ĥasan Al-Šaffār, from ‘Abbās ibn Ma’rūf, from Muĥammad ibn Sinān, from someone who said: I asked Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ), about the verse, “And whosoever is killed unjustly, then We have indeed given his heir an authority, but let him not exceed the limits in killing, verily he is helped” (17:33). Imam  replied: This is about the Qā`im of the family of Muĥammad ﷺ. When he rises, he will kill (many people), avenging the blood of Ĥusain . Even if he kills everyone on earth, he will not have exceeded the limits in killing. “But let him not exceed the limits in killing” (17:33) means that he will not act unconscionably. I swear to Allāh that he will kill the descendants of the killers of Ĥusain  for the deeds of their fathers.
