It will be appropriate to mention some of them: The Messenger of Allah (S) said: “The rule of al-Mahdi ( ‘atfs ) will be such that two women will keep on moving and traveling at night and yet they will not be afraid of injustice or oppression (against them).”[^11] The Prophet (S) also said: “Surely, God will draw this affair to a close (His religion) in such manner that a person on horseback would travel at night from San‘a to Hadramawt (both in Yemen) and not be afraid of any one except God.”[^12] Perhaps, these two places had been cited due to their formidable deserts because of which they have been sometimes referred to as Mafazah and mentioned to wish one success and safety in traversing the desert.

Imam al-Baqir ( ‘a ) said: “By God! The supporters of al-Mahdi will fight to the extent for God to be worshipped as the Only One Creator and for Him not to be associated with any partner, and to the point where a weak old woman would set off from one point of the world to another and nobody will offend her.”[^13] A person asked Hadrat as-Sadiq ( ‘a ): “Why should we wish for the advent of Hadrat al-Qa’im ( ‘a )? Do we have a sublime station during the period of his occultation ( ghaybah )?
