Angels will help blessed Hazrat Mahdi (as)

... from Abu Hamzai Somali:

I heard Imam Muhammad Baqr say:

"When the Qaim (Hazrat Mahdi (as)) appears, Allah will help him with angels who are musawwim (who put entities in order), murdif (who follow one another), munzel (revealed, who descend) and qarrub (the very closest to Allah).

JIBRAIL WILL BE BEFORE HIM, MIKAIL TO HIS RIGHT AND ISRAFIL ON HIS LEFT.  And fear will go before him, from his right and from his left on a monthly path. Angels close (to Allah) will be on his level...

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 274)


JIBRAIL AND MIKAIL WILL TAKE HIM BETWEEN THEM.

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 274)

NINE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED ANGELS WILL DESCEND TO HELP HIM

I asked:  Will he be together with all of them? He said: Yes, they are angels who were with NUH (as) in the ark, with IBRAHIM (as) when he was cast into the flames, with MUSA (as) when the sea parted and with ‘ISA (as) when Allah raised him into the sky. Four thousand of these are known and are together with the MESSENGER OF ALLAH and three hundred and thirteen angels were with him at Badr… They are all awaiting the appearance of the Qaim (Hazrat Mahdi (as)).

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani,  p. 368)

Muhammed ibn Muslim says: "When one in need calls him, who will answer.” Imam Muhammad Baqr has said this about this verse: This verse refers to the Qaim (Hazrat Mahdi (as)), IT IS JIBRAIL WHO WILL COME in the shape of a white bird from the cavity of the Kaaba AND SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) IN FULL SIGHT OF THE PEOPLE.

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 374)
