" "Give my Regards to that Holiness (aj)" One of his disciples said: 'He was always conscious of that noble Presence (aj), never saying the dhikr of Salawat without ending it with the phrase, "Wa 'ajjil farajahum. "(Hasten his reappearance)' His sessions were never held without homage to the Imam al- 'Asr (aj) and supplication for his reappearance.

In the latter years of his life when he felt he would die before the Faraj, he would say to his friends: "If you would find the honor to witness his (Holy Imam's) reappearance give my regards to him." The Purgatory State (Barzakh) of a Young Man Awaiting Imam Mahdi (aj) During the burial of a young man, the Shaykh said: "I saw Harat Imam Musa bin Ja'far (a) stretched his arms to embrace this young man. I asked (the people around) what his last word before dying was.

They said it was this poem: 'The awaiting ones are parting with their souls in their last breaths, O King of the noble, grant us your Succor!"' The Second Coming of some of the People Awaiting Imam Mahdi (aj) The reverend Shaykh believed that those really awaiting Imam al-'Asr (aj) will return to the world after their death to accompany His Holiness (aj) upon his reappearance.[^1] Among the ones he named as those who will return to the world at the time of Imam's (aj) return are: Ali bin Ja'far buried in "Dar-i Bihisht" cemetery in Qum, and Mirza Qummi in a Shaykhan cemetery in Qum.

A Cobbler in Shahr-i Ray One of the Shaykh's disciples said: 'Once I was in his presence and we were talking about the faraj of Mawla Imam al-'Asr (aj) and the conditions of awaiting. He said: "There was once in Shahr-i Ray a cobbler (apparently) named Imam Ali, an Azeri speaking man with no wife and children, who lived in his workshop too. He has been described as being in very outstanding spiritual state. He did not demand anything but the faraj of Mawla Imam al- 'Asr (aj).

He had specified in his will when he died to be buried at the foothill of Shahrbanu mount--on the outskirts of Shahr-i Ray.
