From Abdurrahman Ibn Salit; Imam Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib narrated “... IT IS HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WHO WILL APPEAR WITH THE TRUTH. ALLAH WILL BRING THE EARTH BACK TO LIFE, BY MEANS OF HIM, AFTER IT HAS DIED, AND ALLAH WILL MAKE HIS RELIGION VICTORIOUS OVER ALL OTHER RELIGIONS, WHETHER THE MUSHRIQUN WISH IT OR NOT... THEY WILL BE OPPRESSED AND TOLD, “IF YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH, WHEN WILL THIS PROMISE BE MADE GOOD?” Know that, DISPLAYING FORTITUDE IN THE FACE OF OPPRESSION AND WOES DURING HIS OCCULTATION IS LIKE WAGING JIHAD WITH THE SWORD ALONGSIDE RASULULLAH (SAAS).” (Uyun Al-Ahbar, vol. 1, p. 68) |
