They will spend the night in worship and in the morning they will be seen mounted on horses, ready for helping Imam (a.t.f.s.).
They will be devout worshippers by the night and like the lions in the day.
They will be more submissive and obedient to Imam than a maidservant.
They are like burning lamps and their hearts are like glowing beacons.
They are fearful of Allah and testify to His Unity.
