Rasulullah (saas) said: “A community within my Ummah will strive intellectually to elevate the truth until Doomsday, and ‘ISA (AS), SON OF MARYAM, WILL DESCEND TO EARTH. WHEN THEIR LEADER [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] TELLS HIM “LEAD US IN THE SALAT” HE WILL SAY “NO” ... AND WILL BESTOW THE RANK OF IMAM ON THE “IMAM MAHDI.” (Sahih Muslim, vol. 1, p. 209) |
