other names for the promised saviour

Mu岣mmad b. 士Uthm膩n 士Amr墨 has narrated, 鈥淲hen our Lord, his majesty S膩hib al Amr (mgehr) was born, the Excellency Im膩m Ha峁n Askar墨 (pbuh) asked for my father and ordered [him] to deliver ten thousand rotls1 of bread, which is about thousand Mann2, and [also] ten thousand rotls of meat as almsgiving between Ban奴 H膩shim and other of them, and to sacrifice many ships as 士Aq墨qa3.

 

And the bondwomen of the Excellency Askar墨 (pbuh), Nas墨m and M膩r墨ya, have narrated, 鈥淲hen his majesty Qa鈥檌m (mgehr) was born, [he] sat down on his knees and pointed his Shah膩datayn鈥檚 fingers4 to the sky, sneezed and then stated:

芦 丕賻賱賿丨賻賲賿丿購賱賱賾賴賽 乇賻亘賾賽 丕賱賿毓丕賱賻賲蹖賳賻 賵賻 氐賻賱賾賻賶 丕賱賱賾賴購 毓賻賱賶 賲購丨賻賲賾賻丿 賵賻 丌賱賽賴賽 禄

鈥 All praise belongs to God, Lord of the Universe; and peace be upon Muhammad (pbu &h) and his family.鈥

Then he kept on, 鈥淭he oppressors assumed that God鈥檚 岣jjat5 will not emerge. [But] If God permits me to talk, there will remains no doubt.鈥

And also Nas墨m has narrated, 鈥極ne night after the birth of his majesty, I was sitting in his presence. There, I sneezed. [his majesty] stated: 鈥淕od bless you鈥. I became glad, [then] he stated: 鈥 Would you like, I give you glad tiding about sneezing?鈥. I said yes. [Then] he stated, 鈥業t is a refuge from death, until three days鈥.

And about his majesty鈥檚 glorious names and titles; So know that our Sheykh, late Thiqat al-Isl膩m6 Nour墨 (may God blesses him) has mentioned, one hundred and eighty-two names for his majesty in 鈥楴ajm th膩qib鈥. And here, for the blessing, we refer to some of them.

1-聽 芦亘賻賯賽蹖賾賻丞賻 丕賱賱賾賻賴賽聽禄

The first, 鈥楤aq墨yyatull膩h鈥 (remainder of Allah): 聽It has been narrated that,

when his majesty emerges, he will turn his back to Ka始bah. Then,

three hundred and thirteen men will gather [around him]. The first

thing that he states, is the following verse:

芦亘賻賯賽賷賻賾鬲購 丕賱賱賻賾賴賽 禺賻賷賿乇賹 賱賻賰購賲賿 廿賽賳賿 賰購賳賿鬲購賲賿 賲購丐賿賲賽賳賽賷賳賻禄聽

鈥淏aq墨yyatull膩h (What remains with Allah) is better for you, if you are

believers (9)鈥.

Then he will state, 鈥業 am Baq墨yyatull膩h and his [God]

Hujjat and his caliph for you. So no one will say just 鈥渉ello鈥 to him, but they say,

芦丕賱爻賾賻賱丕賻賲購 毓賻賱賻蹖賿讴賻 蹖賻丕 亘賻賯賽蹖賾賻丞賻 丕賱賱賾賻賴賽 賮賽蹖 兀賻乇賿囟賽賴賽禄

鈥淥鈥 Baq墨yyatull膩h on his earth. Peace be upon you (10)鈥.

2- 芦丨噩鬲 禄

The second, 鈥楬ujjat鈥: It is one of the famous titles of his majesty, which

in many prayers and narrations, he has been titled with it and

most of the narrators of A岣ツ乨墨th mentioned it. Although, other Im膩ms (pbu th)

share this title and all are Hujjats of God for the people, but it

specifically belongs to his majesty. Therefore, wherever this title is mentioned

with no background or in any certain case, it refers to his majesty.

Also, some have said that his majesty鈥檚 title is Hujjat-Allah which means,

God鈥檚 domination or kingdom on the creatures. It is because, both of

Them will happen through the Emergence of his majesty. In

Addition, the symbol of his majesty鈥檚 signet ring is 鈥業 am Hujjat-Allah鈥.(11)

 

3- 芦禺賭賱賮 賵 禺賱賮 氐丕賱丨禄

the third is, Khalaf, 鈥淭he Righteous Khalaf鈥 (which is the consistent title, mentioned in the words of [12 infallible] Im膩ms (pbu th). By Khalaf, it means 鈥淭he subsequent鈥. The Excellency [Mahd墨 (mgehr)] is, all prophets鈥 and their successors (pbu th)鈥 Khalaf. Also, he owned all divine knowledge, moods, features and inheritance, which were inherited between them, one after another. All of them were have been gathered in The Excellency.

In the famous Hadith on Devine Memory[7], which J膩bir learnt by Sediqa Tahira[8][Her Excellency F膩tim膩 (pbuh)], it was mentioned:

 

After describing 驶Askar墨 (pbuh), I will make it complete with his son Khalaf, who will be blessing for all the creatures in two worlds. He will have [the prophets (pbu th)鈥 features. like] Adam鈥檚 the most perfect elected, [prophet] Idr墨s鈥檚 mercy, [prophet] Noah鈥檚 dignity, [prophet] Ibr膩h墨m鈥檚 forbearance, [prophet] Moses鈥檚 intensity, [prophet] Jesus鈥檚 value, and [prophet] Ayyub鈥檚 patience.

In Mafzal鈥檚 hadith additionally, this point was famous as following:

When The Excellency emerges, he will lean against Ka始bah and state, 鈥極, groups of creatures! Be aware, whoever likes to see Adam and Sayth, and鈥, looks at me now!鈥 And he will keep on telling the names of other prophets (pbu th) as: Noah, Sam [Samuel], Ibr膩h墨m, Ishmael, Moses, Yusha, Shamun, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh&h) and also the infallible Im膩ms (pbu th).

 

4- 芦 卮乇蹖丿

The fourth is, 鈥淪har墨d鈥, a title which has been frequently used in the words of [infallible] Im膩ms, especially his majesty Amir al-Mu’minin (pbuh) and the Excellency [Im膩m] B膩qir (pbuh).

鈥淪har墨d鈥 means expelled. It is used to denote the perverted the people who neither have known his Excellency, nor his blessing existence. Also, they were not grateful about him and did not fulfill his right.

Rather, after disappointing his majesty; since the beginning, they intended to overcome and dominate his Excellency, murder and suppress his pure descendants, and tried to deny him and remove [his affection] from hearts. They did it by means of words and writings. And they provided [the fake] evidence of his non- existance and denial of his birth, so they removed his memories from [some people]鈥檚 minds.

As in this regard, his majesty stated to Ibr膩h墨m ibn Ali ibn Mahzi膩r al-Ahv膩z墨:

My father advised me, not to have a house on the earth [anywhere], except a place where is more hidden and far from all other places. [That is] to keep your goals and save your place from the deception of depraved people.

He ended with,鈥橫y father stated to me: 鈥淥鈥 my son! You may take the hidden place of the earth and have the furthest of them; because, for every guardian of the Almighty God, there are enemies and contentious oppositions. (13)
