In response to the question “How many of those who accompany [the Mahdi] Al-Qa'im are `Arabs?” Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq, the sixth Shi`i Imam, said, “Very few.” Then the man replied “But there are numerous `Arabs who profess this Cause” and Imam Ja`far, replied; “People will inevitably be chosen, separated, sifted through, and many are those who will fall through the sifter.”
