Consider a ship, on a story see!
Now if the passengers know that there is no coast to save, for hundreds of kilometers.
and they have a small amount of food.
What will they really do?
Will they do any try?
A lot of Sunni scholars have written books regarding Imam Mahdi (hgr).
For example, the first one who wrote an independent book about Imam Mahdi (hgr)
was “Ibād ibn Ya’qūb Rawajati”.
His book is “Akhbār Al-Mahdi”.
He lived in Imam Askari (pbuh)’s lifetime,
Abdulrahman said, “I told Imam Sadiq (pbuh)
‘Enemies blame and call us; liars!”
[When] we say; there are two voices from the sky,
They react, ‘If both of them are from sky, so how are the call of truth and the call of falsehood descriminized?
The Imam (pbuh) stated, ‘What did you reply?’
[Regarding the Emergence] Mufazzal1 said:
[Once] I asked my lord; Imam Sadiq (pbuh),
‘Does the Awaited Imam; Mahdi (hgr)’s mission have certain time, and should people know that?”
The Imam (pbuh) stated, “Never does God determine his emergence time such that our Shiites know that!
…فَانْتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ [اعراف/۷۱]
…then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting.” (The holy Quran, Surah AL-ARAF, Verse 71)
Imam Riḍā (pbuh) stated:
How pleasant is patience and looking forward to the Emergence!
A large number of Sunni scholars have stated that, believing in the Promised Mahdi (hgr) is an agreement case for Muslims.
Evan some people say, “The denier of Mahdi (hgr)’s emergence, is a heathen.” They also have quoted some narrations in this area.
Some of them believe that “The denier of Mahdi (hgr) must be kiled.”
O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault…(The holy Qur’an, Surah AL-MAEDA, Verse 54)[almost is the same in surah AL-ANAAM, verse 89]
Hemyari said, “Uthman Ibn Sa’eed {the first deputy of Imam al-Mahdi (hgr)} and I were with Ahmad Ibn Isḥāq.
Ahmad Ibn Isḥāq pointed to me that I would ask Uthman Ibn Sa’eed about Imam Askari (pbuh)’s successor.
So, I obeyed and asked him so:
[Here are] the names of some Non-Shiites poets whom composed poems about Ahl Al-Bayt1 and their love toward them; especially to Imam Mahdi (hgr):
Shams Al-Din Muhammad Ibn-Ali [deceased 955 AH], who was of Sunnite scholars and had high dignity to Damascus’s scholars.
Ahmad Jāmi who was entitled as “Shaykh Al-Islam” [deceased 536 AH] was Sunni and of the Sufi [mystic]’s great men.
Attār Neyshāburi [deceased 618 AH], who was of famous Sunni and Hanafi’s mystics [in Islam].
Hemyari said: Uthman Ibn Sa’eed (the first deputy of Imam al-Mahdi (hgr)) and I were near Ahmad Ibn Isḥāq.
Ahmad Ibn Isḥāq insinuate to me to ask Uthman Ibn Sa’eed about the successor of Imam Askari (pbuh).
