So be humble for Me and worship Me and trust Me and have confidence in Me...
So be humble for Me and worship Me and trust Me and have confidence in Me, for I am pleased with you as a servant, as a beloved, as a Messenger, as an Apostle; and with your brother as the vicegerent and as the gateway. He is My Hujjah over My servants and the Imam for My creation. Through him, My friends are known from My enemies and through him th party of Satan is distinguished from My party. Through him My religion will be established, and My codes observed, and My rules executed.
Through you, through him, and through the Imams from your progeny, I confer mercy upon My servants and slave girls. ‘And through the Qaim from yours, I will develop My earth with My praise*.* Through him, I will purify the earth from My enemies and bequeath her to My friends. Through him, I will make the word of those who have disbelieved in Me low, and My word high. Through him, I will revive My lands and My servants with My knowledge.
Through him, I will manifest treasures and riches with My will. I will expose the secrets and the hidden to him with My resolve; I will help him through My angels to aide him in the enforcement of My order, and uncovering of My religion. That is My friend rightfully, and the Mahdi of My servants truly.’” The author says: Many such traditions were mentioned in the section of the traditions affirming the Twelve Imams and the section pertinent to the reasons of his holy names.
4- Uyun Akhbar Reza: It is narrated from Abdullah bin Muhammad Saigh from Muhammad bin Saeed from Husain bin Ali from Walid bin Muslim from Safwan bin Amr from Shuraih bin Ubaid from Amr Bakai from Kaabul Ahbar that he said: “The Caliphs are Twelve. When their demise approaches and a virtuous generation comes, Allah will prolong their lives. Such has Allah promised this Ummah.
And a day before your Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
