Thus whosoever of the sinner believer is interceded by the Imam from us would get deliverance and for whosoever they do not intercede, will fall down.”[^4] Traditional reports on this matter are in large numbers and between this report and that of Ali bin Ibrahim Qummi there is no difference between the meaning of Araaf .

Third: Dua for the Master of the Time (aj) is a cause of getting the intercession of the people of Araaf : In Majmaul Bayan it is narrated from Asbagh bin Nubatah that he said: I was seated with Ali (as) when Ibne Kawwa arrived and asked about the following verse: “And on the most elevated places…” Imam (as) replied: “Woe be on you, Ibne Kawwa, on the Judgment Day we would stand between the Paradise and Hell. Thus we would recognize by the face one who has helped us and make him enter Paradise.

And we would recognize by the face one who had been inimical to us and send him to Hell.”[^5] The point proved from this tradition is same that we stated before: Dua for our master, the Master of the Time (aj) is a type of help of His Eminence by the tongue. And since helping in this traditional report is a medium of getting intercession and being recognized by the folks of Araaf , one who prays for His Eminence would be qualified for this.
