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)…
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!
فلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُبْلِسُونَ [انعام/۴۴]
Translation:
But when they forgot the warning they had received,
We opened to them the gates of all (good) things,
قالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ اسْتَعِينُوا بِاللَّهِ وَاصْبِرُوا إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ [اعراف۱۲۸
Said Moses to his people: “Pray for help from Allah, and (wait) in patience and constancy: for the earth is Allah’s, to give as a heritage to such of His servants as He pleaseth; and the end is (best) for the righteous. (The holy Quran, Surah AL-ARAF, Verse 128)
️… يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا قُلِ انْتَظِرُوا إِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُونَ [انعام/۱۵۸]
..the day that certain of the signs of thy Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith. Say: “Wait ye: we too are waiting.” (The holy Quran, Surah AL-ANAAM, Verse 158)
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]
All who obey Allah and the messenger are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah, – of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! What a beautiful fellowship! … (The holy Qur’an, Surah An-Nisa, Verse 69)”
Imam al-Baqir (pbuh) stated about this verse:
Sufyani2sends an army to Kūfah; the numbers of them are seventy thousand!
[He sends them] to kill kufain and captivate them!!
At these moments, some people get themselves fast to kufa from Khorasan; having flags in their hands. Among whom are Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s true companions …
