The Prophet Muhammad used to say:
'There are two draughts which are two of the most beloved ways to Almighty God:
a draught of anger which is repelled by clemency and a draught of calamity which is repelled by patience.

He is not hidden
his presence is more visiable than any other visible existence...
it is you who is absent...
you should be present...
he is awaiting you ...
the appearance of the relief (al-faraj) depends solely upon allah ,therefore those who propose a certain time for it are liars
as to the benefit of my existence in occultation ,it is like the benefit of the sun behind clouds where the eyes do not see,indeed my existence is an amnesty for the people of the earth.
imam Musa Kazim a.s

Imam Hassan Al-Askari (A.S) has said: The signs of a believer are five:
• Performing fifty-one rakats of salat daily,
• Reciting Ziyarat of Arbaeen,
• Wearing a ring in the right hand,
• Placing the forehead on dust [during sajda], and
• Saying "Bismillah al-rahman al-rahim" aloud in salaa.” al-a'mal, p. 589, as stated [by Ibn Tawus]
Imam Hassan Al-Askari (A.S) includes the performance of Ziyarat of Arbaeen as one of the five marks for a believer, in addition to reciting 51 rakats of salat, audible recitation of Bismillah, wearing a ring on one’s right hand and doing sajda on dust.
