They say [the twelve caliphs] are as follows: Abubakr, Umar, UthmÄn, Imam Ali (pbuh), Yazid, Mu’Äwiyah bin Yazid, MarwÄn ibn Hakam, Abd-ol-Malik ibn MarwÄn, Walid ibn Abd-ol-Malik, SolaymÄn ibn Abd-ol-Malik and Umar ibn Abd-ol-Aziz. (‘Awn al-Ma’bud, V.11, P.361)
But there is a question as:
Did YazÄ«d who martyred the Prophet’s very dear grandson [Imam Ḥusayn (pbuh)],
Imam Ḥusayn (pbuh) stated:
“Of our family there will be twelve Mahdis (pbu th), whose first is Amir al-Mu`minin; Ali ibn Abi Talib (pbuh) and the last is my ninth descendant.
He is the Imam [Mahdi (hgr)] who arises for truth [Qa`im (hgr)]
, God restores the earth to life after its death because of him (hgr), God dominates true religion on all religions by him (hgr)…
For researching and reasoning in the principle of ImÄmate, we must first know God and His Prophet [Muhammad (Pbuh&h)]
As they are the prerequisites for the discussion of Imamate.
Therefore, the texts which are loaded with the subject of “rational proofs of Imamate and [Shiite] Messianicâ€,
Are following: Monotheism, resurrection, prophecy, and divine justice). It means, one is expected to have researched, understood and accepted these truths, in advance
If someone doesn’t know [how to play] soccer,
Neither the national team, nor the low rated teams will admit him [to be a member of]!

Consider a ship, on a story see!
Now if the passengers know that there is no coast to save, for hundreds of kilometers.

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 “IbÄd ibn Ya’qÅ«b Rawajati”.
His book is “AkhbÄr Al-Mahdi”.
He lived in Imam Askari (pbuh)’s lifetime,
While there are many differences in people and nation’s ways of thoughts and customs,
they are unexceptionally fond of these two: Love for peace and love for justice.
Hasn’t it always been the case that, our thirst means there is somewhere water?!
Abdulrahman said, “I told Imam Sadiq (pbuh)
‘Enemies blame and call us; liars!â€
[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?â€
The Imam (pbuh) stated, “Never does God determine his emergence time such that our Shiites know that!
