Surah al Araaf Verse 159

وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَى أُمَّةٌ يَهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ

“And of Musa’s people there is a group who guide (people) with the truth. And thereby do justice”

Imam Sadiq (as) said, When the Qaem (as) rises from behind the Kaabah, Allah will resurrect twenty seven men for him. Fourteen of them are from the nation of Musa (as) who are described in this verse, “And of Musa’s people there is a group who guide (people) with the truth. And thereby do justice”. There are also seven companions of the cave, Miqdaad, Jabir Al-Ansari, the believer of the nation of Firaun, and Yousha bin Noun – the successor of Musa. ” (Dalael Al Imama, page 463)


Imam Sadiq (as) said, Twenty-seven men will be resurrected for the Qaem (as) from behind the Kaabah. Fifteen of them are from the nation of Musa (as). They are those who used to guide people with the truth and act justly. There are also the seven companions of the cave, Yousha bin Noun, Salman, Abu Dujaana Al-Ansari, Miqdaad bin Aswad and Malik Al-Ashtar.

These men will be the supporters of the Qaem (as) and (they will be) the rulers (who he will appoint) for the people. (Rawzatul Waezeen page 266)
