Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Selected Narrations about the Twelfth Imam volume 2 Section Eight The traditions that indicate he is from the descendants of the two grandsons, al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn, peace be on them Comprised of 125 traditions Zakhāīr al-`uqbā[^1]: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be on him [and his family], said: “From these two—meaning al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn—is the Mahdī of this nation.” Al-Mu`jam al-kabīr[^2]: Narrated to us Muḥammad b. Ruzaiq b.

Jāmi` al-Miṣrī, from al-Haytham b. Ḥabīb, from Sufyān b. `Uyayna, from `Alī b. `Alī al-Makkī al-Hilālī, from his father who recounts: I went to the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be on him [and his family], during his sufferings in which he passed away. Fāṭima [peace be on her] was sitting near his head. She began crying until her voice rose. The Holy Prophet, Allah’s blessings be on him and his family, looked up to her and asked, “My beloved Fāṭima!

Why are you crying?” She replied, “I fear neglect after you.” He replied, “My beloved Fāṭima! Do you not know that Allah, Mighty and Glorified be He, searched the earth thoroughly, then chose from it your father and sent him with His message. Then, He searched the earth thoroughly and chose from it your husband. Then he revealed to me that I should marry you to him. O Fāṭima!

Indeed Allah has granted us Ahl al-Bait seven characteristics that have not been given to anyone before us nor to anyone after us: I am the seal of the Prophets, the noblest of Prophets in front of Allah, the most beloved of the creatures to of Allah, Mighty and Majestic be He, and I am your father. My heir (waṣī) is the best of heirs and the most beloved of them to Allah and he is your husband. Our martyr is the best of martyrs and the most beloved of them to Allah and he is Ḥamzat b.

`Abd al-Muṭṭalib, the (paternal) uncle of your father and the (paternal) uncle of your husband. From us is the one who has two green wings by which he flies where he wishes in Paradise along with the angels and he is the cousin of your father and the brother of your husband. From us are the two grandsons of this nation and they are your two sons—al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn—and they are the masters of the youths of Paradise.

I swear by the One Who truly sent me, their father is better than both of them. O Fāṭima! I swear by the One Who sent me with truth, surely from these two is the Mahdī of this nation.
