Hard Weeping of Imam Jawād (peace be upon him)

Ṣaqr Ibn ‘Abī Dulaf has said, ‘[Once] I asked Imam Jawād, “Who is the Imām after Haṣan (al- ‘Askarī (pbuh))?” [There,] He wept hardly and then stated, “After Haṣan (pbuh) his son, Qāʾim is the expected Imam.”

“Why is he named Qāʾim?” I asked. He replied, “Because he will rise [to revive the Divine truth], after the period in which he became forgotten, and most of the believers on his Imāmate are abjured,’[1]

 

His Excellency Jawād al- ‘A’immah (pbuh) informed ‘Abd al- ‘Adhīm al-Ḥasanī, “Qāʾim of us, Ahlulbayt is the very promised Mahdī (mgehr), whom must be looked forward to in his Occultation Era, and obeyed when he will emerge. He is the third offspring of my generation…”[2]
