Sorrow And Grief Of Imam Mahdi (A.S.)
Imam
Reza (A.S.) said:
"The most pious of believing men and women are those who are sorrowful
for the (time of) flowing water (Imam Mahdi A.S)"
Flowing
water indicates that it is a part of the ayat:
"Say
! Have you considered if your water should go down, who is if then that
will bring you flowing water?"
(Sura Al Mulk 67 : 30)
According
to Imam as-Sadiq (A.S.) "the flowing water" in this Ayat means
Hazrat Mahdi (A.S.). Hence the exegesis of this Ayat is as follows:
"Say,
if your Imam (A.S.) goes into ghaibat, who is it that will bring back
your Imam to you. Who, like a gushing spring will teach you what is haraam
and what is halal, and quench you thirst with good tidings (news) of the
sky and the earth."
