Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 Eligibility For Intercession Of The Holy Prophet (S) And Attaining The Great Intercession ============================================================================================= That which proves this matter – in addition to that which was mentioned previously that mediation of the Imam of the Age (aj) is the mediation of the Holy Prophet (S) – are traditions that the chief of the traditionists has mentioned in Khisaal through his own chain of narrators from His Eminence, Reza (as) from his respected forefathers from Amirul Momineen (as) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (S) said: “I will intercede for four kinds of people even if they come to me with the sins of all humanity: one who has helped my Ahle Bayt, one who fulfills their need while they are in need of it, one who loves them with words and deeds and one who removes their distress practically.”[^1] Allamah Hilli (r.a.) has narrated from the Messenger of Allah (S) directly that he said: “I will intercede for four kinds of people even if they come to me with the sins of all people of the world: one who has helped my descendants, one who spent his wealth in the difficult times of my progeny, one who loved my descendants with words and deeds and one who tried to fulfill the needs of my descendants while they are persecuted and in flight.”[^2] In Biharul Anwar through his own chain of narrators it is mentioned from His Eminence, Reza (as) from his Purified Forefathers from Amirul Momineen (as) that the Holy Prophet (S) said: “I will intercede for four people on the Judgment Day: one who honored my progeny, one who fulfilled their needs, one who performed their work in their times of distress, and one who loved them with the heart and the tongue.”[^3] I say: It is clear that three topics can be derived from it to apply for praying for an early reappearance of Maula Sahib al-Amr (aj) because it is type of help, verbal love and fulfillment of need as shall be explained ahead.

Among the matters that prove this aim are the advices of Allamah Hilli to his son in which he quotes the following tradition of Imam Ja’far Sadiq (as): “On the Judgment Day a caller would call out: Silence! And pay attention, as Muhammad (S) would like to address you.
