[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!
I asked, ‘Why? My Lord!
The Imam (pbuh) stated,
‘It’s the very time that God stated [in the below verse]:’
يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا قُلْ إِنَّمَا علمها عند ربی لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا إِلَّا هُوَ ثَقُلَتْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةً…[اعراف/۱۸۷]
[Our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)]They ask thee about the (final) Hour – when will be its appointed time? Say: “The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (alone): None but He can reveal as to when it will occur. Heavy were its burden through the heavens and the earth. Only, all of a sudden will it come to you.”… (The holy Quran, Surah AL-ARAF, Verse 187)
O`, Mufazzal! Just God knows the time.
