Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 Praying during the period of occultation is better than doing it in the time of reappearance ================================================================================================ That which proves this is a tradition mentioned in Usool Kafi and other books quoting Ammar Sabati that he said: “I asked Abu ‘Abdillah, peace be upon him: ‘Which is better, worship in secret with a hidden Imam from among you [in the time] of government by an illegal ruler, or worship in [the time of] the manifestation of the Truth and its government with the manifest Imam from among you?’ He said: ‘O ‘Ammar, [the giving of] Sadaqah , which is a form of worship in secret is better, by Allah, than [the giving of] the alms openly; similarly, by Allah, your worship in secret with your hidden Imam in [the time of] government of an illegal ruler, and your fear of your enemy in [the time of] government of an illegal ruler and in a state of truce [with your enemy], is better than that you should worship Allah, may remembrance of Him be made Mighty and Majestic, in [the time of] the manifestation of the Truth with the Imam of Truth which is manifest in [the time of] the government of Truth.

Worship while you fear in [the time of] government of an illegal ruler is not the same as worship and security in [the time of] the government of Truth.
