And whoever wants to see Ibrahim and Ismail...

And whoever wants to see Ibrahim and Ismail, should know that I am that same Ibrahim and Ismail. And whoever wants to see Moosa and Yusha, should know that I am that same Moosa and Yusha. And whoever wants to see Isa and Shamoun, should know that I am that same Isa and Shamoun. And whoever wants to see Muhammad (S) and Amirul Momineen, should know that I am that same Muhammad and Amirul Momineen. And whoever wants to see Hasan and Husain, should know that I am that same Hasan and Husain.

And whoever wants to see the Imams from the progeny of Husain, should know that I am those same purified Imams.

Accept my call and gather near me as I would inform you about all that has been said and all that has not been said.”[^2] I say: This tradition proves that all the qualities of the great Prophets and the morals and manners of the Purified Imams (as) have come together in the being of the Imam of the time – may our souls be sacrificed on him – and they emanate from His Eminence, and also a tradition that we have previously quoted from the Holy Prophet (S) that the ninth of them would be their Qaim and he is their apparent and hidden, proves this point.

In the same way Shaykh Sadooq has narrated through his own chain of narrators from Abu Baseer that he said: I heard His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) say: “Matters related to occultation that occurred from the prophets would also occur in exactly the same way for our Qaim who is from us, Ahle Bayt.” Abu Baseer says: I asked respectfully: “O son of Allah’s Messenger, Who from among you Ahle Bayt, is the Qaim?” He replied, “O Abu Baseer, he is the fifth descendant of my son, Moosa.

He is the son of the best of the slave girls. He shall have an occultation regarding which the followers of falsehood would doubt.
