Then Al-Sadiq (Mighty is His Glory) said: "Indeed, seventy thousand angels of the harsh and severe angels surrounded al-Husayn (Mighty is His Glory) on that day, each of them saying: 'O my Master, command me with your order! For by the Might of the One who does not die, if you commanded me to destroy it upon them, to collapse it over them, to drown them, and to burn them, I would have done so.'"

So He (Mighty is His Glory) said: "Indeed, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has appointed a time for Iblis that we shall not fail to keep."

Then He called for the people of the Two Weighty Things (al-Thaqalayn) and gathered them in [a space] narrower than the ring of a signet ring. Then He said to the angels and those of the believers with Him: "He whose power is executed thus—does he lack anything, or is anything hidden from him?" They said: "No."

Then He sent them forth, and every one of them returned to his land.

Then He came to the mountains of Radwa, and no one remained of the believers but that he came to Him, while He was upon a throne of light. And Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and all the Prophets (peace be upon them) had surrounded Him; and behind them were the believers, and behind them were the angels, looking to what al-Husayn (Mighty is His Glory) would say.
