Morality of the Qur'an and Deep Thinking

Aban ibn Taglib says: I heard Imam Jafar al-Sadiq say, “It is as if I can see the Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)], HE WILL GIRD THE WHITE ARMOR OF RASULULLAH (SAAS) BEHIND NAJAF, AND AFTER GIRDING THAT ARMOR, HIS BODY WILL EXPAND, JUST LIKE THE BODY OF RASULULLAH (SAAS). CLOTHING MADE FROM THE SILKS OF PARADISE WILL COVER HIS ARMOR ...

(Imam Mahdi, Ali Irfan, Velayet Press, p. 94)

Imam Jaffar al-Sadiq, one of the grandsons of Hazrat Ali (as), reveals in a hadith handed down from our Prophet (saas) regarding Hazrat Mahdi (as), who will appear in the End Times, that like the Prophet (saas) he will wear, white, clean and bright clothing. The reference to the silk of Paradise means it will look clean and bright. The reason for the use of the reference to the silks of Paradise is to emphasize the radiance and cleanliness of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Otherwise, the silk of Paradise is a fabric unique to Paradise alone. In addition, this hadith indicates that the body of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be broad and majestic, like that of our Prophet (saas).
