Once, Imām Ṣādiq (pbuh) stated to his companions, ‘Can you recognize whether the disaster you suffer, will last long or not?’ The companions said, ‘No!’ The Imām reacted, ‘whenever reading is inspired [and you perform it] to each of you, it means the disaster doesn’t last [and it will be]!’ (Kāfī, Vol. 2, P. 470)
2- Why are the healthy people expected to read prayers as the sick people?
Imām Zamān (mGehr)’s duties while he is unknown are of two types, based on Sayyid Muḥammad Ṣadr:
1- Protecting his Shiites and friends and observing their social relations with other people. Also he observes them, since they are supposed to teach Islamic taught as good as possible, and implement Islamic laws.
Regarding the issue, Ahl al Bayt1 (pbu th) presented some reasons for The Occultation:
1- Protecting the Imām (mGehr)’s life from the enemies’ dangers/ detriments.
[In this relation,] Zurārah2 narrated from Imām Ṣādiq (pbuh):
إِنً لِلْقَائِمَ غَیْبَۀِ قَبْلُ ظُهُورِهَ قُلْتَ وَ لِمُ قَالَ یَخَافوِ أَوْمَىبِیَدِهِ إِلَىَ بَطْنِهُ قَالزُرَارَۀَ یَعْنِیاَلْقَتْل
Indeed, the Qā’im will be absent before his appearance.
Imām Alī (pbuh): Whoever sees small sufferings as big, will be affected by big sufferings
Amīr al Mu’menin (pbuh) stated,
مَن عظَّم صغارَ المصائبِ ابتلاهُ اللهُ بِکِبارِها
(Nahj al Balāghah, Sermon 448)
“Whoever sees small sufferings as big, big sufferings will affect them.”
Once I went to Kūfah Mosque. I saw my Sir, Walī Aşr (mGehr) was busy with worshipping. There, I stood up and said Hi. He answered my hello and ordered me to get nearer. I just went a little forward, because of the ethics. He stated, ‘Come nearer!’ And I just went a little forward. Again he stated, ‘Come nearer!’ When I got nearer, he affectionately embraced me and kept me tight on his chest.
Then, whatever The Almighty God wanted, was transferred to my heart and chest….
Followers of Aḥmad Hamboushī claim that, according to authentic narrations from Ahl al-Bayt (pbu th), Imām Zamān (mgehr) had some children during his Major Occultation. One of whom is Aḥmad Ismail Hamboushī, whose one of the followers wrote, “I have proven in this research that, surly the narrations him are numerous, from the authentic documents, helpful for faiths”
Surely, I have proven in this research, that the narrations about the offspring are great in number, as well as having authentic document, which may be advantageous to the faith.
