Where is (Sahaab ) his turban...

Where is (Sahaab ) his turban, Yarbu (his horse), Ghazba (his camel), Duldul his horse, Yafoor his donkey and the original horse of the Messenger of Allah (S), Buraq and the Mushaf (scroll) of Amirul Momineen (as)? Then His Eminence will show him all these things. He would take up the staff of the Prophet and hit it upon a hard stone, it would instantly produce sparks. His aim by this is to show the greatness and excellence of Mahdi (aj) to his companions so that they pledge allegiance to him.

Then Sayyid Hasani would remark, “God is the Greatest (Allaahu Akbar), O son of the Prophet, give me your hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you. Mahdi (aj) will stretch out his hand. Sayyid Hasani and his companions will pay allegiance to him. But 40000 persons having the scroll, who will be known as Zaidiyyah, will not pay allegiance, saying: This is great magic. The armies shall confront each other.

Mahdi (aj) will come out towards the deviated group and dispense good counsel to them, inviting them towards himself, but they would persist in their infidelity and rebellion. His Eminence will order that they all be killed and they shall be put to the sword.

Then Mahdi (aj) will say to his companions: Do not take their Qur’ans, leave it as it will cause them despair just as they have changed and tampered it and they have not acted according to it.”[^6] There are numerous reports concerning this matter, some of which shall be quoted in the topic of the elimination of the infidels, if Allah, the Almighty wills.

Hajj Of His Eminence Shaykh Sadooq has reported in Kamaluddin through a correct chain of narrators from Muhammad bin Uthman al-Amari that he said: “The master of this affair shall perform the Hajj rituals every year.

Thus he shall see the people and recognize them and they shall (also) see him but will not recognize him.”[^7] I say: Among the traditions that prove the recommended nature of praying for Hajj pilgrims is a tradition quoted from His Eminence, Sadiq (as) in Faqih that he said: “When it is the time for the overnight halt at Arafat the Almighty Allah sends two angels to search the faces of the people.

So when they do not find anyone having habituated himself to Hajj, one of them tells the other: In what condition is such and such person? The other angel replies: Allah knows better. Then he says: O God! If poverty prevents him from coming, make him self sufficient. And if he is having debts, please liquidate them for him.
