Some characteristics of Hazrat Mahdi's (as) followers

THEY ARE THE GENUINE SERVANTS OF ALLAH. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah)

Their hearts are like iron, and they are lions by day and devout believers by night. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-zaman, p. 57)

It is certain they are banners of the true path. (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, 1/153)

They are select Muslims who will fear the condemnation of no critics on the path of Allah. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/259)

His [Hazrat Mahdi’s (as)] friends are heroic, select, pure and devout people, who strive hard in obedience. They are always victorious in whatever work they turn to... (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 52, p. 279 and Vol. 53, p. 12; Sheikh al-Saduq, Kamal al-Din, Vol. 2, p. 367)

Hukaim Ibn Sa’d says: I heard Hazrat Ali (ra), the commander of the faithful, say: The followers of the Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] are young, and there are no elderly people among them. They are as few in number as kohl on the eye or salt in victuals, and salt is the smallest component of victuals. (Seikh Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim Numani, Ghaybah al Numani, p. 374)

The force and spiritual army this duty depends on is some followers in full possession of titles of loyalty and solidarity. No matter how few they may be, they are spiritually as powerful and valuable as an army. (Emirdag Addendum, p. 259)
