[Regarding the Emergence] Mufazzal1 said:
[Once] I asked my lord; Imam Sadiq (pbuh),
‘Does the Awaited Imam; Mahdi (hgr)’s mission have certain time, and should people know that?”
The Imam (pbuh) stated, “Never does God determine his emergence time such that our Shiites know that!
…فَانْتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ [اعراف/۷۱]
…then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting.” (The holy Quran, Surah AL-ARAF, Verse 71)
Imam Riḍā (pbuh) stated:
How pleasant is patience and looking forward to the Emergence!
A large number of Sunni scholars have stated that, believing in the Promised Mahdi (hgr) is an agreement case for Muslims.
Evan some people say, “The denier of Mahdi (hgr)’s emergence, is a heathen.” They also have quoted some narrations in this area.
Some of them believe that “The denier of Mahdi (hgr) must be kiled.”
O ye who believe! if any from among you turn back from his Faith, soon will Allah produce a people whom He will love as they will love Him,- lowly with the believers, mighty against the rejecters, fighting in the way of Allah, and never afraid of the reproaches of such as find fault…(The holy Qur’an, Surah AL-MAEDA, Verse 54)[almost is the same in surah AL-ANAAM, verse 89]
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:
[Here are] the names of some Non-Shiites poets whom composed poems about Ahl Al-Bayt1 and their love toward them; especially to Imam Mahdi (hgr):
Shams Al-Din Muhammad Ibn-Ali [deceased 955 AH], who was of Sunnite scholars and had high dignity to Damascus’s scholars.
Ahmad Jāmi who was entitled as “Shaykh Al-Islam” [deceased 536 AH] was Sunni and of the Sufi [mystic]’s great men.
Attār Neyshāburi [deceased 618 AH], who was of famous Sunni and Hanafi’s mystics [in Islam].
Hemyari said: Uthman Ibn Sa’eed (the first deputy of Imam al-Mahdi (hgr)) and I were near Ahmad Ibn Isḥāq.
Ahmad Ibn Isḥāq insinuate to me to ask Uthman Ibn Sa’eed about the successor of Imam Askari (pbuh).
I swear to Imam Mahdi (hgr)’s Hijazi accent; when he is reading Qurʾān 1
Muhammad ibn Uthman2 (The second particular deputy of Imam Mahdi (hgr)) said:
When Imam Mahdi (hgr); the caliph of Allah was born, a light was emitted from the top of his head to the sky. Then he prostrated for his God.
فَغَيْرَ دِينِ اللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا َ… [آل عمران/۸۳]
“Do they seek for other than the religion of Allah?-while all creatures in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling, bowed to His Will (Accepted Islam)… ” (The holy Qur’an, Surah Al-E-Imran,Verse 83).”
Rifa`a said,” I heard from Imam Sadiq (pbuh) that he (pbuh) stated:
بلَى إِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا وَيَأْتُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْرِهِمْ هَذَا يُمْدِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِخَمْسَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مُسَوِّمِين [آل عمران/۱۲۵
Translation:
“Yea, if ye remain firm, and act aright, even if the enemy should rush here on you in hot haste, your Lord would help you with five thousand angels Making a terrific onslaught.” (The holy Qur’an, Surah Al-E-Imran, Verse 125).”
