Prediction about the end of Mutawakkil

Ali bin Muhammad Naufali narrates: When Mutawakkil established the new city of Samarra and initiated the construction of his palace over there, Imam Ali Naqi (a) said, “This tyrant is establishing a new town and his palace would be unfinished when he would be killed at the hands of a Firon-natured Turk.
Ali, remember, Almighty Allah chose Muhammad Mustafa for prophethood and clear evidence and selected us for love and discourse and He has granted me the nobility of His selection. There are 73 great names (Isme Aazam) of Allah. Asif bin Barkhiya was having only one Isme Aazam. When he recited it, the land was folded for him till the Saba Kingdom and he lifted the throne of Bilquis and brought it to Sulaiman. All this occurred in the wink of the eye whereas we are having 72 great names while Almighty Allah has retained one in His knowledge of the unseen.

So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
