Afdala al-ibadati Intidharul-faraji-“The most superior worship is anticipating relief.”-Hadith. To wait-Intidhar an for an opening from Allah is worship. Since we are waiting an opening of Mercy-rahma, then it is considered worship-ibadat. So wait for an opening by keeping to worship.
The only way to save ourselves from the terrible troubles expected to appear soon and which are now happening and before the advent of al-Mahdi (as), is to spend our time in worship.Thus the importance of Qasidah Munfarijah- 'The Poem of Relief' the poem that asked for Help againest Problems and against Oppressors.
“The first of those who are called to Paradise are the ‘praisers’ those who praise Allah in ease and hardship.”-Hadith. And that is what Qasidah Munfarijah- 'The Poem of Relief' is it 'Prasies Allah in in ease and hardship'.

A common saying in the twelfth-century Fez was: "I seek refuge in God from the curse of Ibn Nahwi!"
to illustrate the truth of this saying, at-Tadili reports that when Ibn
Nahwi lived in Sijilmasa he stayed at a certain mosque, where he taught
usul al-fiqh.
One day an official
notary ('adil) passed by the door to the mosque and asked, "What is the
discipline that this person is teaching?" When told that Ibn Nahwi was
conducting lessons on the scripturally passed sources of jurisprudence,
the notary, who followed only the early unreformed-Maliki tradition,
replied derisively, "How is this one allowed to teach us subjects we do
not know of?" and ordered the Shaykh to be thrown out of the mosque.
Before leaving, Ibn Nahwi rose to his feet and said to his tormentor, "You killed knowledge. Now God will kill you in this very place!" The next day, when the man went to the mosque in order to notarise a marriage contract, he was killed by a tribesman whose clan was feuding with his own.

Another Qasidah al-Munfarijah of Sidi Ibn al-Nahwi
The Story of Qasidah al-Munfarijah
After his leaving his hometwon of Tawzar he headed towards Algeria and stayed in the Masjid of Bani Hammad in Masaylah.
A man there complained to
him of his suffering from his having to flee from the oppressor of his
homeplace and requested him to raise the issue with the oppressor so
that he may permit him to return.
The ruler saw a dream which
troubled him and resulted him in halting his acts of oppression whilst
admitting to his sins. He instructed that this mans wealth be returned
because he saw in his dream the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him
peace) who said: Send to Abul Fadl bin al-Nahwi in the masjid known as
such in Algeria, and carry out what he orders. The Khalifah did this and
sent someone in search of him.
When he entered and found
him he said: What is your need O Abul Fadl? He infomed him of his order
and wrote for him to return of all that he had been informed about. Then he was asked: What is yor means with the Messenger of Allah? He then informed him of his poem.
