“When they say, ‘You are the Mahdi’ he will deny it...” (Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar fi Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, Portents of the Awaited Mahdi, p. 40) “They will say to him, ‘this is your name and this is your father’s name, all the signs are upon you,’ but he will not admit it...” (Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar fi alamat Al-Mahdi Al-Muntazar, Portents of the Awaited Mahdi, p. 40) “... They will say to Hazrat Mahdi (as), ‘if you cannot protect us against the Dajjal and the oppression of the unbelievers, then may all our sins and our blood that is spilled be upon your head.’ After those words Hazrat Mahdi (as) will accept the spiritual leadership (in order not to assume any spiritual responsibility).” (Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar Fi alamat Al-Mahdi Al-Muntazar, Portents of the Anticipated Mahdi, p. 40) |
[HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL ONLY CONSENT TO LEAD THROUGH COERCION. (Al-Qawl Al-Mukhtasar Fi alamat Al-Mahdi Al-Muntazar, p. 48) People will eventually come to Hazrat Mahdi (as) and … TAKE THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE ON HIM AGAINST HIS WILL. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi, p. 31) THEIR OWNER [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL BE RELUCTANT AND EVENTUALLY as many people as were at Badr will take the oath of allegiance on him, ALBEIT AGAINST HIS WILL. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi, p. 34) |
