Khalid khuzaz narrates that once I went to see Imam Musa Kazim(as) .He was in his house at maqame rameela.

Then I went near him and kissed his forehead and knelt down in front of him and sat down. He turned towards me and said: Ibn Khalid! We are better aware of this affair .Don’t be distressed about it. If we want, power can turn and come towards us right now but Allah has given them chance till a determined time and it is necessary that this period should get over. I said: O son of the Messenger of Allah(saw) next time, I will never bring such a thing in my heart. Ref: Dalail ul Imamata, pg. 159
