Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Book of Occultation His Attributes, Traits and Lineage 1- ‘Uyūn Akhbār al-Redhā: Ahmad al-Qasri narrates from Abu Muhammad al-‘Askari, who narrates from his forefathers, from Musā Ibn Ja‘far (a.s) saying, “No one can be the Qā'im but an Imam the son of an Imam and a Successor the son of a Successor.” 2- Ikmāl al-Dīn: ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Atā' said, I asked Abu Ja‘far (a.s), “Your Shī‘a in Iraq are many and by Allah, there is no one in the Ahl al-Bait like you.

So why don’t you make an uprise?” He said, “O’ Abdullah Ibn ‘Atā’, base people have filled your ears. By Allah, I am not your Awaited Patron*.”* I asked, “So who is our Awaited Patron*?”* He said, “Watch for the one whose birth will be hidden from the people. He will be your Patron.” Explanation: That is, you listen to the words of ignorant members of the Shī‘a community and accept their assertion that we have extensive numbers of supporters and that we must rise and that I am the promised Qā'im.

3*- Al-Ghaiba of Sheikh Tusi:* Sufyān al-Jurairi says, I heard Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdi’r-Rahmān Ibn Abi Lailī say, “By Allah, the Mahdi will not be but from the progeny of Husain (a.s).” 4- Al-Ghaiba of Sheikh Tusi: Through the same chain of narration on the authority of al-Fudhail Ibn al-Zubair: I heard Zaid the son of ‘Ali Ibn al-Husain (a.s) say, “The Awaited Savior is from the progeny of Husain Ibn ‘Ali, from the children of Husain and from the heirs of Husain.

Husain is the victim about whom Allah said, Whosoever is killed innocently, We have assigned to his heir the authority. His heir is a man from his progeny, from his children.” Then he recited, And He made it a word to continue in his posterity. [Al-Zukhruf: 28] So he may not exceed the just limit in slaying.

[Al-Isrā’: 33] Zaid (a.s) said, “His authority is in his proof over all God’s creation, so much so that his proof will prevail over all people and no one will have a reason against him.” صفاته صلوات اللـّه عليه وعلاماته ونسبه {dir="RTL"} 1- عيون أخبار الرضا: محمد بن أحمد بن الحسين البغدادي، عن أحمد بن الفضل، عن بكر بن أحمد القصري، عن أبي محمد العسكري، عن آبائه، عن موسى بن جعفر (ع) قال: لا يكون القائم إلا إمام بن إمام ووصي بن وصي.

2- إكمال الدين: أحمد بن هارون، وابن شاذويه، وابن مسرور وجعفر بن الحسين جميعا، عن محمد الحميري، عن أبيه، عن أيوب بن نوح، عن العباس بن عامر.
