Some distinctive Qualities of Imam Zamana (a.s.)
We continue with the description of 12 distinguishing characteristics of Imam Mahdi (atfs) out of the 48 special characteristics mentioned about him in this chapter.
7-He will dispense justice among the people according to the divine hidden knowledge
It is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), that he said:
“When the Qaaem of Aale Muhammad (a.s.) arises, he will judge according to the judgment of Prophet Dawood a.s. and Prophet Sulaiman (a.s.) and he will not ask for evidence.”
8-Exposition of all the parts of Knowledge
It has been narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that he said:
“Knowledge consists of twenty-seven letters – all that the prophets brought is two letters and people have not received till date more than two letters. And when our Qaaem arises, he would bring another twenty-five letters and spread them among the people and add them to the two letters and spread the knowledge of all the twenty-seven letters.
9-Some people will be resurrected to accompany the Imam(as)
As mentioned by Shaykh Mufeed a.r. in Irshaad, 27 people from the nation of Hazrat Moosa(as), 7 from the companions of the Cave, Yusha bin Nun, Salman, Abu Dujana Ansari, Miqdad and Malik Ashtar(pbut) will be the companions of Imam Mahdi (a.s.).
Sayyid Ali Ibne Taaoos a.r. has narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that the one who recites Dua e Ahad for forty mornings, will be among the helpers of the Qaaem(as); if he dies before the reappearance of the Imam, the Almighty Allah will resurrect him from his grave.
