Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s moaning and praying, at the time of the Emergence

️أمَّنْ يُجِيبُ المضطر إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ [نمل/۶۲]

Who listens to the (soul) distressed when it calls on Him, and Who relieves its suffering, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? :….( Holy Qur`an, Surah Al-Naml, verse 62)

[Once], Imam al-Baqir (pbuh) stated:

This verse is about our Qa`em (hgr);

when he arises he wears his turban,

prays beside Maqām Ibrāhīm (pbuh) [standing place]1,

, prays God and his flag will hoist since then.

It has been stated in a narrative, he wails to God so much

that he faints and falls on the ground.

 

 

1- Maqām Ibrāhīm is a stone associated with Ibrahim, Ishmael (pbu th) and their rebuilding of the Ka’bah. The stone is located near the Ka’bah in the Great Mosque of Mecca
