Hawzah News Agency – On the auspicious birthday anniversary of Imam al-Mahdi (pbuh):
- رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله: أفضلُ أعمالِ اُمّتي انتظارُ فَرَجِ اللَّهِ عزّ وجلّ.
- The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The best of the deeds of my community is [actively] anticipating relief from Allah, Mighty and Exalted.'
Bihar al-Anwar, v. ۵۲, p. ۱۲۲, no. ۲
- رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله: لا تَقومُ السّاعةُ حتّى تَمْتَلئَ الأرضُ ظُلماً وعُدْواناً ، ثُمّ يخرُجُ رجُلٌ مِن عِترتي فيَملَؤُها قِسْطاً وعَدلاً كما مُلِئتْ ظُلماً وعُدْواناً.
- The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The [Final] Hour will not come until the land has been filled with tyranny and enmity, then a man from my progeny will emerge and will fill it with fairness and justice just as it had been filled with tyranny and enmity.'
(Kanz al-Ummal, no. 38691)
- الامام الصادق علیه السلام: مَن ماتَ مُنتظِراً لهذا الأمرِ كانَ كَمَنْ كانَ مَع القائمِ في فُسْطاطِهِ، لا بَلْ كانَ بمنزلةِ الضّاربِ بينَ يدَي رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله بالسَّيفِ.
- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'One who dies anticipating this rule [of the Mahdi] is as one who will be with al-Qaim in his tent. Not only that, but he possesses the rank of one who fought with the sword in the presence of the Prophet (SAWA).'
