Advent
Of Imam Mahdi (A.S.)
The
Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) said,
"Even if a single day remains for quiyamat, Allah will send a
man from my Ahlul'Bayt. He will fill the earth with justice just like
it is filled with tyranny."
(Sunan Abu Dawood vol.4 Pg.107)
Dibil
Ibne Ali al-Khuzai says:
When
I was reciting the Qasida (Panegeric) before my master, Raza (A.S.), I
reached to the following lines.
" I hope in the advent of my Imam. Who will rise up with the name
of Allah and the divine blessings will accompany him.
He will separate the truth from falsehood (for us) and he will reward
and punish."
Imam
(A.S.) said to me: .
"O Khuzaee ! Ruhul Qudus (the angel) has made you recite these
two couplets. Do you know who this Imam is ? One who will rise ?"
I
replied,
"No my master, I only know that one of you, Imams will rise up and
clear the earth of all injustise and fill it will equity."
Imam
Reza (A.S.) said,
"O Dibil after me my son Muhammad shall be the Imam and after
him his son Ali, and after him his son Hasan al Askari, and after him
his son Al-Qaim who shall be the awaited one during the period of his
ghaibat. And when he shall be revealed, all the world shall bow down to
him. Even if a single day remains for this world, Allah the High and the
Mighty shall prolong this day till he will appear and fill the earth with
justice as it has been filled with tyranny. And who knows when it will
come to pass ! I have heard it from my father, (who had heard it) from
his father, and they had heard it from the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.S.)
when he was asked, "O Prophet of Allah (S.A) when will the Qaem of
your progeny arise ?
He (S.A.W.S.) had replied,
"His likeness is to the Hour (Quiyamat), '.....none but He shall
manifest it at its time; it will be momentous in the heavens and the earth;
it will not come on you but of a sudden'."
(Sura Araf 7 : 187)
(Kamaaluddin vol.2 Pg.372-373, Faraidus Simtain vol.2. Pg.337-338. Al
Fusool al Mohimma Pg. 250-251)
