Fawaaed al-Akhbaar more famous as Ma’ani al-Akhbaar: Narrated unto us Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan, Abu Abdillah al-Husain Ibn Muhammad, Ismaaeel Ibn Abi Owais (Awkas), Maalek Ibn Anas, and Muhammad Ibn al-Munkadir from Jaaber Ibn Abdullah (r.a.) who reports that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said, “One who denies the rise of the Mahdi, indeed he has disbelieved on what has been revealed on Muhammad (s.a.w.a.). One who denies the descent of Eisa Ibn Maryam (a.s.), indeed he has disbelieved. One who denies the emergence of the Dajjaal, indeed he has disbelieved. Whoever does not believe that destiny, both good or evil, is from God – Mighty and Majestic – has indeed disbelieved. For surely, Jibraeel has informed me that Allah – the High – says, ‘Whoever does not believe that destiny, both good or evil, is from God, he should take a lord other than me’!

From Imam Jafar as-Sadeq (a.s.) regarding the words of the Mighty and Majestic: We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth (41:53). He (a.s.) said the lessening of the limit of the horizons upon them and in them a transformation until it becomes clear to them that it is Al-Qaem (a.j.t.f.s.).

Shaykh Al-Mufeed (a.r.) narrates: Abul Husayn Muhammad ibn al-Mudhaffer al-Bazzaz reported to me from Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Hasani, who reported from Idris ibn Ziyad al-Kafrsosi, who reported from Hannan ibn Sudair, from Sudaif al-Makki who reported from Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, peace be upon hm (commenting that I have not seen any believer of Muhammad to match his excellence) who reported from Jabir ibn Abdillah al-Ansari, who said:
Once, the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, caused an announcement to be made among the Muhajir and Ansar, so they assembled with their weapons. The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, climbed the pulpit, praised Allah and expressed his gratitude to Him. Then he said: “O Muslims, whoever hates us, the Ahlul Bayt, Allah shall resurrect him on the day of Judgement as a follower of Judaism.”
Jabir said: I stood up and asked: “O messenger of Allah, will it happen even if I testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah?” He said: “If he testified that there is no god but Allah, that saved him from his blood being spilled and from paying the tax submissively and with humility.”
Then the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny said: “Whoever hates us, the Ahlul Bayt, Allah shall resurrect him, as a follower of Judaism on the Day of Judgement, and if he ever met Dajjal, he would be his partisan. And, even if he did not meet him (i.e. Dajjal), he would be resurrected in his grave, so that he believes in him (i.e. Dajjal). Surely, Allah made the whole of my Ummah appear before me while still in dust, and taught me their names, the way he taught all the names to Adam. So, standard bearers passed by me and I prayed for forgiveness, in favour of ‘Ali and his followers.
Hannan ibn Sudair said: I narrated this Tradition before Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibnMuhammad, peace be upon him, and he said: “Did you yourself hear this from Sudaif?” He said: “It is now seventh night since I heard from him.” He (i.e. Abu Abdillah) said: “I never thought that this narration ever escaped the lips of my father to anyone.”

The Old Man & Imam Sadeq (a.s)
Masadeh says, I was with Imam Jafar as-Sadeq (a.s.), when suddenly an old man with an arched back walked in, leaning on his stick. He conveyed his salam to Imam (a.s.) and Imam (a.s.) answered him.
The old man said, O son of the Messenger of God (a.s.), give me your hand so I can kiss it, so he (a.s.) gave him his hand and he kissed it and then wept.
Imam (a.s.) asked him: O Shaikh! Why are you crying?
He replied, may I be your ransom. I have been waiting for Qaem (a.t.f.s.) for the last hundred years. I keep saying that it will (reappearance) take place in this month and this year.
But my age is advancing and my bones are getting brittle and my death is nearing. But I do not like to see you sick, far from home, and your enemies flying with their wings, so how can I not cry?
Imam Sadeq (a.s.)’s eyes welled up and he said: O Shaikh! If Allah keeps you alive till you see our Qaem, you will be at the highest level with us. And if death befalls you (and you do not see the Imam), you will come with the weight of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and we are his weight.
He (s.a.wa.) said, “I leave among you two weighty things, so hold on to themto, and if you cling to them, you will never go astray. Those two precious gems are the Book of Allah and my progeny, that is, my family.”
After hearing this, the old man said, “After hearing this news, I am no longer afraid of dying.”
Imam Sadeq (a.s.) continued:
O Shaikh! Indeed, our Qaem is the offspring of Hasan (Askari), Hasan is the offspring of Ali(an-Naqi), Ali is the offspring of Muhammad (al-Jawwad), Muhammad is the offspring of Ali (ar-Raza) and Ali is the offspring of my son Musa (al-Kazim), peace be upon them all. And at this time, he pointed to him and said: Musa has also come out of my loin.
We are Ahl al-Bayt, the twelve people, all of whom are infallible and purified.”
Ref: Kifayatul Asar 264-265
‘There are 12 Imams in this nation’
Abi Tufayl Aamir bin Wathila narrates:
“We witnessed the funeral prayer of Abu Bakr after that we gathered around Umar bin Khattab and paid allegiance to him and visited him in the masjid for some days, till we addressed him by the title of chief of believers. One day we were seated with him when a Jew, who claimed to be a descendant of Prophet Harun (a.s.), brother of Prophet Musa (a.s.) came and stood before Umar and said: O chief of believers,
who among you is most knowledgeable regarding the Sunnah of your Prophet and the Book of your Lord so that I can ask questions? The narrator says: Umar pointed out towards Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.). The Jew said: O Ali, are you such? He replied: Yes, ask me whatever you want.
The Jew said: I have three, three and one question. Imam Ali (a.s.) said: Why don’t you say that you have seven questions? He replied: If you answer the first three questions correctly, I will ask the next three and if you reply to them also correctly, I will ask the remaining one. But if you answer the first three questions incorrectly, I will not ask any more questions. Imam Ali (a.s.) asked: How would you know whether the replies I have given are right or wrong?
The narrator says: The Jew put his hand inside his garment and took out an old book and said: I have inherited this book from my ancestors. It was dictated by Musa (a.s.) and written down by Harun (a.s.). It contains replies to all the questions. I am going to ask you.
Imam Ali (a.s.) said: If I reply to all your questions correctly, will you accept Islam? “Yes,” he said, by Allah, if you reply to my questions, I will immediately embrace Islam at your hands. Imam Ali (a.s.) said: You may ask. He said: Which was the first stone to come down to the earth? Which was the first spring of water that gushed out on the earth? And which was the first tree that grew on the earth?
Imam Ali (a.s.) said: O Jew, you people say that the first stone is that of Baitul Muqqadas. It is a lie. The first stone is the Black Stone which came with Prophet Adam (a.s.) from Paradise. Which he placed at the Rukn of the House of Allah. People touch and kiss it and through it renew their covenant with Allah.
The Jew said: By Allah, you are right. Imam Ali (a.s.) said: Jews say that the first tree that grew on the earth is olive. It is a lie. The first tree is that of Ajwa dates that came down with Adam (a.s.) and his wife. The Jew said: By Allah, you are right. Imam Ali (a.s.) said: You people say that the first spring that gushed forth is the spring of Baitul Muqqadas. You lie. The first spring is that in which the companion of Musa (a.s.) forgot the salted fish and when the water of the spring of life reached it, it became alive and swam away and Musa and his companion followed it and met Khizr.
The Jew said: By Allah, you are right. Imam Ali (a.s.) asked: Ask the next three questions? He said: How many just Imams are there after the Prophet in this nation? What is the place of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) in Paradise? And who all will stay with him in his house in Paradise?
Imam Ali (a.s.) replied: O Jew, there are twelve Imams in this nation and their enemies cannot do them any harm. The Jew said: By Allah, you are right. Imam Ali (a.s.) said: The house of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) in Paradise is in the Jannat of Adn. It is at the center of Paradise and nearest place to the throne of the Beneficent.
The Jews said: By Allah, you are right. Imam Ali (a.s.) said: And those who will stay with him in his house are the twelve Imams. The Jew said: By Allah, you are right. Imam Ali (a.s.) said: You may ask the remaining question also. He asked: For how many years will the successor of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) live?
Would he have a natural death or will be murdered? Imam Ali (a.s.) replied: O Jew, he would live for thirty years after the Prophet. This will be dyed with this. Saying this he pointed towards his beard and his blessed head. The narrator says: At that moment the Jew got up from his place and said: I bear witness that there is God except Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and you are the successor of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.).”
‘Mahdi is from my descendants’
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny) informed his companion Jabir ibn Abdullah Al Ansari (May Allah’s mercy be on him)
“Mahdi is from my descendants. His name is my name and his agnomen (Kunniyat) is my agnomen. He most closely resembles me in appearance and behavior than all other people. There will be occultation and confusion for him. So much so that people will deviate from their religion. Then a time will come when he will appear like a shooting star and he will fill up the earth with equity and justice just as it will be filled with injustice and oppression.”

Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s) Similarity to His Eminence, the Chief of the Martyrs, Imam Husain (a.s.).
In His Name And With The Remembrance of His Last Proof (a.s.) on Earth
Many similarities exist in the circumstances of Imam Husain (a.s.) and Imam Mahdi (a.s.). Among them are:
1 – The fervor and importance with which they are mentioned in the Holy Quran and the traditions of prophets in the heavenly scriptures as is not hidden from the researchers. If one likes one may refer to the book of Al-Muhajja Feema Nazala minal Quran lil Qaaimil Hujja and the tenth volume of Biharul Anwar
2 – Special efforts of the past prophets to lament for His Eminence, Imam Husain (a.s.) and their arranging of assemblies and gatherings of mourning for the martyrdom of His Eminence. In the same way the special care of the past Imams when they prayed for the success of the Master, Hujjat Ibnul Hasan (a.t.f.s.) and supplicating for his reappearance before his occultation.

When Imam Husain (a.s.) was born
In his epic work Kamal-al deen wa tamam al-nemah, Shaikh Sadooq (a.r.) narrates a tradition which leads to Ibne Abbas.
Ibne Abbas says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) say:
“There is an angel of Allah named Dardaeel. He is having sixteen thousand wings and the distance between each wing is equal to that of the distance between the earth and the sky. One day a thought crossed the mind of this angel that is there anything greater than the Almighty Allah? The Almighty Allah gave him the same number of wings again and now he had thirty-two thousand wings. Then the Almighty Allah ordered him to fly. So, he continued to fly for fifty years but could not reach any end of the heavens. When he was tired, the Almighty Allah told him: O angel come back to your original place, Our greatness is effective on all great things and there is no one greater than Me, nor can I be related to a particular place. Then the Almighty Allah confiscated his wings and expelled him from the rows of angels.
When Imam Husain (a.s.) was born on a Thursday night the Almighty Allah commanded Maalik, the caretaker angel of hell to extinguish the fire as a mark of celebrating the birth of the son of the Prophet and told the caretaker of Paradise Rizwan to decorate Paradise.
