Some people who visit Imam Mahdi (hgr):
In the book Montakhab Al-Athar:

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

“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!”
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!
There is an Inextricably bound between ʻĀshūrā’1 and the Emergence!
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…

لَنَبْلُوَنَّکُمْ بِشَیْءٍ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَ الْجُوعِ وَ نَقْصٍ مِنَ الْأَمْوالِ وَ الْأَنْفُسِ وَ الثَّمَراتِ وَ بَشِّرِ الصَّابِرینَ [بقره/۱۵۵]

We will surely test you with a measure of fear, hunger and a loss of wealth, lives, and fruits; and give good tiding to the patient. ( holy Quran, Sure Al-Baqarah, Verse 155)
