This article explores why Imam al-Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) regarded Lady Fāṭimah al-Zahrāʾ (peace be upon her) as an excellent example to follow. It highlights two aspects of this connection: adherence to God’s will and the Imam’s love, mercy, and compassion toward the Shiʿa.
1- piety:
The Messenger of God (pbuh&h) introduced the growth of the wealth as the factors for improving religiosity and piety.
Our Prophet (pbuh&h) who is the best prophet…, the most modest among people, the most tolerant, the most generous and open- handed person, and the bravest in supporting his household. (Kashf al Ghumma: Vol. 4, Page 26)
*There is a need for us to be connected to His Excellency, through reciting honest Du’a al-Baha1. We are expected to hold the religious meetings, for reciting all the worshipping and Mathur prayers2 which where stated by the Excellency.
*Our main Dawn prayer, is expected to be for Imām Zamān (mGehr). It shouldn’t be recited in our language, but narrated from [Infallible] Imāms. One of them, is the Adh Prayer3. The other, is Imām Riḍā (pbuh)’s prayer for Imām Zamān (pbuh) which looks very important, to me. It is as follows:
There is an astounding narration by Imām Kādhim (pbuh), which is as follows:
If I investigate among my Shiites, I see that they only claim to act! And if I test them, they will turn to commit heresy (disbelief)!
If I purify them, there will be just one pure and honest among one thousands! Also, if I sift the people, just my special ones and family members will be around me!
None of my ancestors were under suspicion [by some of the Shiites], as much as me! (Ikmāl al- Dīn, Vol. 1, P. 222)
Similarly, most of the Shiites and the friends of Imām Hādī (pbuh) referred to Imām Ḥasan Askarī (pbuh) as an Imām, after Imām Hādī (pbuh)’s martyrdom. But, a few people called the other son of Imām Hādī (pbuh), Ja’far ibn Alī “Ja’far Kaddhab [liar]”, as their Imām! Also, another group considered Sayyid Muḥammad who died at the time of Imām Hādī (pbuh), their Imām!

Imam Sadiq (pbuh) said:
