Pearl of Wisdom

was once asked, 'A believer intentionally kills a believer, does he have the right to repent?' The Imam replied, 'If his killing him was due to his belief, then he does not have the right to repentance. But if he killed him due to anger or any other worldly reason, then his repentance is that he be killed for it.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
al-Kafi, v. 7, p. 276, no. 2

What's the believe behind this?
Answer: Bismillah

Salaam Alaikum. Inshallah all is well.
We have many reports about people coming towards the end of time which will falsely claim to be the Mahdi (aj) or the representative of the Mahdi (aj).
We are supposed to follow the instructions we've received from our Imam's in regards to our responsibilities during the time of the occultation. We have no report on having to help this individual.
Also, the claims he is making are at times contradictory. He is feeding of the ignorance of the people and the simplicity of some of the believers.
The pious scholars of the Hawza in Qom and Najaf have looked into the matter and have warned the believers of falling pray to this mans claims.
We ask Allah to guide us to his light.
