The words of the [infallible Shia] Imams and the scholars about ImÄm MahdÄ«
I asked ‘AllÄmah Tabataba’i if it is possible to visit His Excellency [SÄhib al- ZamÄn (mgehr)] or no?! He returned, ‘Yes, but on three conditions: Being completely pious, feeling a great love [to the ImÄm (mGehr)], and being persistent in reciting ZÄ«yÄra Ä€l YÄsÄ«n (the long version).’ (Gham-e Eshgh, P. 90)
