The Walayat (saintship) will come to an end with Hazrat Mahdi (as)

In his work “al-Jawab al-Mustaqim,” written as an answer to questions posed by al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi in his “Hatm’al-awliya,” Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi writes:

“The age of property will come to an end with him, [Hazrat Mahdi (as)], and walayat will end with him...” (Muhyiddin IbnArabi, al-Jawab al-Mustaqim amma Seele anhu al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi, Bayazid, no: 3750, sheet 242b)
