In the threshold of Minor Occultation, what was happening in the west of Iran?
What happened in Sāmarrā and how did it end?
What areas were under the influence of enemies and what were they doing?
How were Shiites in terms of political, social and mindset levels?
Hemyari said, “Uthman Ibn Sa’eed {the first deputy of Imam al-Mahdi (hgr)} and I were with Ahmad Ibn Isḥāq.
Ahmad Ibn Isḥāq pointed to me that I would ask Uthman Ibn Sa’eed about Imam Askari (pbuh)’s successor.
So, I obeyed and asked him so:
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 […]
In the book Montakhab Al-Athar:
Ibn Okht Abi-Bakr Al-‘Esar
Abo-Ja’afar ‘Ahwal Hamedani
Abol-Hasan Hosaini
Abol-Hasan ‘Amri
Abol-Hasan Ibn-Kathir Nobakhti
Abol-Heytham ‘Anbari
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!
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]
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!”
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.’
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!
It has many years since, the imam Hussain( pbuh) cryed for help.
And the latitudinarian, raise and expand this widespread cry with the utmost rigor till imam Zaman( hgr)’ s emergence. Hence, the world keeps reflecting on it moment by moment…
