But write it down for your partners.

But write it down for your partners.” Ali (as) asked: “Who are my partners?” He replied, “Imams from your progeny due to whom the Almighty Allah sends down rain on my Ummah, for the sake of whom He fulfills their prayers, and due to whom He removes calamities from them and due to whom mercy descends from the heavens.

He is the first of them – indicating towards Imam Hasan – then he pointed towards Imam Husain (as) and said: The Imam’s shall be from your progeny.” I say: This tradition, with attention to all its points clearly proves what we have stated.

Ihsaan (Favor) Upon Us The favor of Imam az-Zaman (aj) upon us is having various aspects some of which we will mention in the following pages, if Allah wills…among them are the praying of His Eminence in our favor, the repulsion of the evil of the enemies and removal of hardships…etc.

And it is often that favors enslave the people.” Making Lawful The Rights That Have Come To Us From His Eminence There is a lengthy tradition in Kafi narrated through Masma from Imam Sadiq (as) in which he is reported to have said: “O Abu Yasar, indeed, the whole earth is for us and whatever that the Almighty Allah has brought out from it, is for us.” – Abu Yasar says that he asked His Eminence, “So, shall I bring all the property for you?” The Imam said, “O Abu Yasar, indeed we have made it lawful for you and made it permissible so keep your property with you.

And whatever from the world is in the possession of our Shias, is lawful for them till the time our Qaim will arise and take the possession of its wealth from them and leave the earth in their possession.

However whatever is in the possession of non-Shias, every benefit that accrues from it, is unlawful for them and when our Qaim arises, he will take away the earth from them and he shall expel them from it in a humiliating way.”[^1] Seeking The Help Of His Eminence Relevant discussion regarding the above shall come under the letters (ظ) z’ and (ك) Kaaf in the topic of the similarity of His Eminence with his great grandfather Abu Abdillah al-Husain (as) and the letter (ن) Noon, in the topic of the call of His Eminence, if Allah wills.
