Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 The Letter Sheen (Sh) Shuja-At (Valor) Of His Eminence Points pertaining to this discussion have already been presented in the topic of the Jihad and battles of His Eminence, and again in the heading of the knowledge of His Eminence, we shall present additional arguments and further clarify the matter.

Shafa-At (Intercession) Of His Eminence For Us – If Allah, The High Wills In Ghayat al-Maraam it is mentioned through Sunni channels from Amirul Momineen (as) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (S) said: “I will be at the Hauz (Kauthar) with you, and you O Ali is the dispenser of drinks at the Pool and Hasan is an assistant and Husain is the commander, Ali bin al-Husain the distributor, Muhammad bin Ali is propagator, Ja’far bin Muhammad is mobilizer, Moosa bin Ja’far is counter of the friends and enemies and restrainer of the hypocrites, Ali bin Moosa is the beautifier of the believers, Muhammad bin Ali is the escort of the folks of Paradise to their places and stages, Ali bin Muhammad is the speaker and sermon giver for his Shias and the one who would wed them to the Hoor al-Ein, Hasan bin Ali is the lamp for the people of Paradise through whom they would get light.

Mahdi is their intercessor on the Day of Judgment, on the day when the Almighty Allah will not permit intercession except to those He would allow and with whom He is satisfied.”[^1] I say: The important point is that intercession is special for our Maula, Hazrat Hujjat (as) – even though all of them (as) are intercessors on the Day of Judgment – their intercession will not be for anyone who is a denier in our master, the master of the time, (thus for them there shall neither be any intercessor nor any helper),[^2] even though they may believe in the Imamate of all the Imams (as).

It is from this aspect that in Kamaluddin it is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as) that he said: “Whosoever believes in the Imamate of my forefathers and descendants but denies the Mahdi from my descendants is just like one who has faith in all the prophets but denies Muhammad (S).”[^3] There are other narrations also on this topic that we could have quoted but for the intelligent people this much would be sufficient.
