I saw, but did not know him [Imam Mahdī (mgehr)]….

Prof. Qharati said:

 

Sometimes [they] ask if it is possible, that Imam Mahdī (mgehr) knows them but they do not know him?

The answer is yes

[As] It is stated in the Holy Qur`an, Prophet Joseph(pbuh) knew his brothers after about forty years of  being thrown down to the well [by his brothers] till being given power[by the king of Egypt].

But they did not know him.

 

 

فَعَرَفَهُم وَ هُم لَهُ مُنکِرون [یوسف/۵۸]

…, and he knew them, but they knew him not. (Holy Qur`an, Surah YUSUF, verse 58)

So when Imam Mahdī (mgehr) emerges, many people will say, “We saw him during Major Occultation period”

[We] also read in Nudba [mourning] prayer,

«بِنَفسی اَنت» that means “May I be thy ransom!”

And «مِن مُغَیَّبٍ لَم یَخلُ مِنّا» which means although you are in occultation period, you are living among us. ”
