Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Book of Occultation Narrations From Imam Al-jawād 1- Ikmāl al-Dīn: ‘Abd al-‘Adhīm al-Hasani says, I entered upon my master Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali (a.s) intending to ask him about the Qā'im whether he is the Mahdi or someone else. However, he initiated the topic before I brought it up, saying, “O’ Abu al-Qāsim, the Qā'im from us and he is the Mahdi. It is obligatory to wait for him in his occultation and to obey him in his appearance.

He is the third from my sons. By the One Who sent Muhammad with Prophethood and distinguished us through Imamate, even if it does not remain from the world but a single day, Allah will prolong that day until he rises. He will fill the earth with equity and justice, as it will be replete with injustice and oppression.

Allah, the Exalted, will rectify his order in one night, as He rectified the order of His Converser Moses (a.s) who went to fetch some fire for his family and returned a prophet, an apostle.” Then he said, “The best action of our Shī‘a is to wait for the salvation.” 2- Al-Ghaiba of al-Ne ‘ māni: ‘Ali al-Qaisi says, I said to Abu Ja‘far Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali al-Redhā (a.s), “Who is the heir after you?” He said, “My son ‘Ali, my son ‘Ali.” Then he lowered his head down briefly in contemplation and then raised it and said, “There will be a considerable perplexity.” I said, “When it happens, to whom we should turn to?” He remained silent.

Then he said, “No where,” and repeated it three times. I asked again. He said, “To the cities.” I asked, “Which city?” He said, “This city of ours; and is there a Medina other than this?” 3- Al-Ghaiba of al-Ne ‘ māni: ‘Abd al-‘Adhīm says that he heard Abu Ja‘far Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali al-Redhā (a.s) say, “When my son ‘Ali dies, the light after him will come into view and then disappear. Woe is for the doubter and bliss is for the believer, who will run with his religion for refuge.

Then after that there will be events in which forelocks would go grey and times will be very severe.” 4- Kifāya al-Athar: ‘Abd al-‘Adhīm al-Hasani says, I said to Muhammad Ibn ‘Ali Ibn Musā, “I hope that you would be the Qā'im from the Household of Muhammad, who will fill the earth with equity and justice as it will be replete with injustice and oppression.” He said, “O’ Abu al-Qāsim, there is no one of us but he is a Qā'im with the order of Allah and guide to the religion of Allah.
