Holy Quran, Chapter 25 Verse 11

بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالسَّاعَةِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا

“Nay, they belie the hour.  We have prepared a blazing fire for him who belies the hour”

Imam Sadiq (as) said, There are twelve hours in a night. There are twelve hours in a day. There are twelve months (in a year). There are twelve Imams and the number of the chiefs (of Bani Israel) was twelve. Allah is one hour from the twelve hours, and this is the meaning of the words of Allah, “Nay, they belie the hour. We have prepared a blazing fire for him who belies the hour” (Chapter 25 verse 11). (Al Ghaybah by Nomani page 40)
