Es'aaf-ur Raghebeen too has written the same on Page 156.4 The author of 'Nur-ul-Absar' on Page 228 has narrated from Abu Abdullah Ganji as such: "About the interpretation of Allah's words: Sayyid-ibn-Jubair says: "It refers to Mahdi from the progeny of Fatemah - the one who, by decree of this verse shall dominate over all other religions." In "Yanabi-ul-Mawadda" Page 443 it is narrated from Manaqib-Khawrazmi from Jabir-ibn-Abdulla Ansari a lengthy incident wherein a Jew approaches the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.A.) and asks him various questions which results in his converting to Islam.

One of the questions which the convert had asked was about the successors to the Holy Prophet himself and the Prophet's reply that they were twelve in number. He counted each one of them by name until he got to the name of Imam Muhammad Hassan Askari. Thereafter he said: "After him shall come his son Muhammad who will be known as Mahdi, Qa'em and Hujjat.5 Then he will disappear temporarily, reappear again and when he does so he shall fill the earth with equity and justice.

Since by then the earth would have been filled with cruelty and oppression. Blessed are those who are patient during the period of his occultation and blessed are those who are steadfast in. their love towards him. They are those whom Allah has praised in His Book with such words- [Quran is a guide to those who guard (against evil), those who believe in the unseen i.e.

Mahdi and his occultation.] Also, Allah says: - [They are those who belong to the Party of Allah; Know that the Party of Allah are the victorious ones.] (Tradition ends) In the afore-said hook, on Page 448 he quote: from the book of "Fara'ed-us- Semtain" a tradition which Hassan-ibn-Khalid has narrated from Abu Hassan Ali-ibn-Musa Reza (A.S.) about Mahdi where he mentions that he would be the fourth from his descendants and that when he reappears, the earth would be engulfed with the Divine Light.

Thereafter Imam continued as such: He is the one whose reappearance shall coincide with the call of a caller from the sky such that all the inhabitant: of the land shall hear this cry: - "Know that the Hujjat 4-Tafseer-e-Ruh-ul-Ma'ani vol. 25 pg. 95 interprets the afore-said verse and follows: -What is that ha will descend in Damascus when the people will be busy in their morning prayers. Then Imam will stand behind and lie is the Mahdi.

Thereafter ha will give priority to him and will pray while standing behind him.
