Imam Sadiq narrates from his fathers from the Commander of faithful, “I heard from Prophet that he said, “Follow my tradition because acting a little upon my tradition is much better than acting upon your own innovation.”[^4] Imam Mahdi’s Plan According to Ahadith, when Imam Mahdi will reappear, he will declare the global rule for the whole universe to be the tradition of the prophet.
The great companion of Imam Sadiq, Mufaddhal Ibn Amr narrates from our sixth imam, روى المفضل بن عمر الجعفي قال سمعت أبا عبد الله جعفر بن محمد ع يقول إذا أذن الله عز و جل للقائم في الخروج صعد المنبر فدعا الناس إلى نفسه و ناشدهم الله و دعاهم إلى حقه و أن يسير فيهم بسنة رسول الله ص و يعمل فيهم بعمله فيبعث الله تعالى جبرئيل ع حتى يأتيه فينزل على الحطيم و يقول له إلى أي شيء تدعو فيخبره القائم ع فيقول جبرئيل ع أنا أول من يبايعك ابسط يدك فيمسح على يده و قد وافاه ثلاثمائة و بضعة عشر رجلا فيبايعونه و يقيم بمكة حتى يتم أصحابه عشرة آلاف ثم يسير منها إلى المدينة “Whenever God permits our Mahdi to rise he will climb the pulpit and invite people to pay homage.
Imam will make them swear and will invite them to his right. He will deal with people according to the tradition of Prophet and he will act like Prophet. Then Gabriel will come down to him in the place of Hatim and will ask, “What do you invite people to?” Imam will repeat what he initially said, and then Gabriel will say, “I am the first one who makes the homage with you, open your hand”.
At that time Gabriel will take Imam’s hand, three hundred thirteen people will make the homage, and Imam will stay in Makah until he gathers ten thousand companions and will then proceed to Medina”. O Allah help us to model our conduct on his "way of life" and obtain the intercession he is entitled to put forward.
