Arresting of Women! Security Surveillances!
In historical books of shiites and sunnis has gathered that Mu’atamid Abbasi sends his officers to imam Askari’s home and arrests all women to find a clue of birth of imam’s child!
According to inscription of books like “Tārikh Tabari”, Mu’atamid Abbasi even after the martyrdom of imam Askari was personally in search of imam’s child! [He applied] heavy security surveillances and regulations!
The first people who saw you…
Forty men of creditable Shiites gathered in Imam Askari’s (pbuh) house, to ask him about the next Imam. Uthman ibn Sa’id [1] stood up […]

Blameful adversaries
The first person who due to ignorance of Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s birth, denied the birth of Imam Mahdi (hgr), was Ja’afar (the Imam’s uncle)!
Ja’afar used to strongly inhibit the news of the Imam’s birth!!
Ibn-e-Hazm in the book “Al-Fasl fil-Milal…” impeached [Imam Mahdi’s (hgr)]’s birth. He wrote that Imam Mahdi’s (hgr)’s birth didn’t occur till Imam Askari (pbuh)’s martyrdom!
Worth of knowing Imam (hgr)[ Imam Zaman] in Holy Quran
يؤْتىِ الْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَاءُ وَ مَن يُؤْتَ الحکمة فَقَدْ أُوتىِ َ خَيرًْا كَثِيرًا وَ مَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُوْلُواْ الْأَلْبَاب [بقره/۲۶۹]
Translation:
He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding. [The holy Quran, Sure Al-Baqarah, Verse269]
Trial of waiters [the people who look forward for Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s emergence] in the Holy Quran
He said to them,
“Allah will test you at the stream: if any drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand is excused.” but they all drank of it, except a few… [The Holy Quran, Sure Al-Baqarah, Verse 249]
Imam Sadiq (pbuh) stated, “God tested Prophet Moses`s companions (pbuh) by a stream, Qaem1`s companions (hgr) will have the same test, too.” As God stated (in the Holy Quran, sure Al-Baqarah, verse 249), “Allah tests you with a stream!”
Twelve Caliphs (pbu th) [12 Shiites’ Imams] from Quraysh
Jabir ibn Samorah said: I heard that prophet Muhamad (pbu h & h) stated
“If twelve men[ 12 Shia’ s imams] rule the people, the people affairs will be continuously desired and desirable.”
Then he (pbu h &h) stated a phrase which I hadn’t heard up to that time.
My father said,” He (pbu h &h) stated ‘All of them [twelve men] are from Quraysh tribe.’
This is the result of the true looking forward to the Emergence
The Emergence will come off, if you truly look forward to the Emergence] of imam Mahdi( hgr)! That is accompanied with action, trying, stimulus, and movement.
The time Iranian people revolutionized, it was because of hope!
