Verily, by decree of this tradition, Mahdi possesses these virtues and qualities right from the timeof his birth until his departure from this world. However, it must be said that he was silent duringthe time of his father, Hassan Askari and it was obligatory for him to obey his father. But after hisfather's demise he has been, (till the end of his life) the caliph of Allah, legatee of His Messenger,leader and Hujjat and the essential condition for this matter is that he should be an Imam in thisperiod.Fourthly, there are 'Mustafiza' and rather 'Mutawatir' traditions from Shia and Sunni sources thatthe Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) said: "The leaders, successors and legatees after me are twelve." Insome of those traditions it is mentioned that they are from Quraish while in some other traditionsmention is made that they are from Bani‐Hashim. Yet, some of the traditions speak of Ali as thefirst Imam and Mahdi as the last. Even, the names of each of the Imams have been mentioned oneafter the other and those wishing to have information about them can refer to the books oftradition especially 'Musnad' of Imam Ahmad and 'Mustadrak' of Abu Abdullah Hakem.Similarly, they can refer to the books which have been written about their virtues like 'Manaqib'of Khawrazmi, 'Fara'ed‐us‐Semtain' and 'Yanabi‐ul‐ Muwadda'. Now, in order to substantiate whatwe have written we shall set forth some of them from the book 'Durarul‐Musawiyya‐Fi‐Shar‐ul‐Aqa'ed‐ ul‐ Jafariya'.For example, Bukhari in his 'Sahih' narrates from Muslim who narrates from Jabir‐ibn‐Samara thatthe Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) said: ‐ "Religion shall continue to exist consistently till the time whenthe Hour is established and the twelve successors from Quraish who are the guardians over thePeople have come and gone. Ali‐ibn‐Muhammad too has referred to this tradition and concludesthat nine of them shall be from the rear of Hussein and Mahdi is one of them.Yet, Abdur‐Rahman‐ibn‐Samara narrates: "I asked the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such‐ 'Show methe path of salvation." Hazrat replied: 'O son of Samara. Whenever desires diversify and opinionsdiffer, it is upon you to stick to Ali‐ibn‐Abi Talib. Verily, he is the leader of my 'Ummah' and mysuccessor after me... Surely, from them are the Imams of my 'Ummah' and the two Chiefs of theyouths of Paradise (i.e. Hassan and Hussein) and from Hussein is nine descendants where the lastof them is the 'Qaem' of my 'Ummah'.Also, Ibn‐Mughazali narrates from Abu Imamah that the Holy Prophet (S.A.WA) said: 'Imams afterme are twelve and all of them are from Quraish. Nine of them are from the rear of Hussein andamong them is Mahdi. Moreover, it has been narrated from Abu Saleh who has narrated fromZaid‐ ibn‐Thabit that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) said: "The world shall not come to an end until aperson from the progeny of Hussein emerges for leading my nation. He shall fill the earth withJustice just as it had been filled with oppression."Presented by http://www.alhassanain.com & http://www.islamicblessings.com
