Dr. Fahimi: What was the belief of the Family of the Prophet and the Imams regarding the Mahdi? Mr.

Hoshyar: Following the Prophet’s death the subject of Mahdiism was also under discussion among the Prophet’s companions and the Imams. The Family of the Prophet, as the heirs to the Prophet’s knowledge and to the intricate matters concerning faith, was the most knowledgeable about the Prophetic traditions. They spoke about the Mahdi and replied to the questions that were posed to them on this subject. Let us cite some examples of these communications by them with some attention to the chronology.

Although there are several traditions cited from each one of the Imams and from Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her) we will cite just one from each: (1) Tradition Narrated by Imam ‘Ali about the Future Coming of the Mahdi The following tradition is related by al-Asbagh who heard ‘Ali b. Abi Talib says: The promised Mahdi will emerge at the End of Time from among us. There is no Mahdi in any nation other than him being awaited. There are more than fifty traditions narrated from ‘Ali b.

Abi Talib in connection with the future appearance of the Mahdi and his being from among the Family of the Prophet. (2) Tradition Narrated by Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her) Holy Lady Fatima Zahra told her son, Imam Husayn: When I gave birth to you, the Prophet came to see me. He took you in his hands and said to me: “O Fatima, take your Husayn, and know that he is the father of nine Imams.

From his descendants will appear righteous leaders among whom the ninth will be the Qa’im (1).” (3) Tradition Narrated by Imam Hasan b. ‘Ali (PBUH) Imam Hasan b. ‘Ali said: There will be twelve Imams following the Prophet. Nine of these Imams will be from the progeny of my brother Husayn. The Mahdi of this ummah will be among them (2). (4) Tradition Narrated by Imam Husayn b. ‘Ali (PBUH) Imam Husayn b. ‘Ali said: Twelve Imams will be from among us. The first among them will be ‘Ali b.

Abi Talib and the last will be my ninth descendant, the rightful Qa’im.
