❄️🌱 The first person concerning whom a court of justice will be convened in the righteous government is Muḥsin ibn ʿAlī (peace be upon him); a court will be held between him and his killer. Qunfudh and his master (the second) will be brought forth and lashed with whips of fire. If one of those lashes were struck upon the sea, all the oceans of the world from east to west would boil over. And if one of them were to strike one of the mountains of the world, it would melt and turn to ashes. Those two enemies of God will be lashed with these whips.
