om it as well, from Masoud Bin Sa’ad Al-Jufy, from Jabir, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj will Cast awe into the hearts of our-asws Shias. So, when our-asws Qaim-asws rises and our-asws Mahdi appears, the (Shia) man would be braver than a lion, and sharper than blades’’. [52]
And it is reported as well from the book ‘Al-Firdows’, from Anas (well-known fabricator), ‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘We-asws, community of the clan of Abdul Muttalib-asws, are chiefs of the people of Paradise – I-saww, and Ali-asws, and Hamza-asws, and Ja’far-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws and Al-Mahdi-asws’’. [53]
And from it as well, by the two chains from Abu Saeed who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Mahdi-asws will happen to be in my-saww community. So, if his-asws life is short, then seven, or else eight or nine. My-saww community will enjoying bounties in his-asws era with such bounties, not having enjoyed the like of it (before), the righteous from them and the immoral. The sky will send upon them downpours and the earth will not withhold anything from its vegetation, and the wealth would become like a harvested heap. The man would come to him-asws and ask him-asws, and he-asws would scoop for him in his cloth whatever would be his capacity to carry it’’. [54]
And from him, from Ibn Umar who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Mahdi-asws will emerge and upon his-asws head would be an Angel calling out: ‘This is the Mahdi-asws, so follow him-asws! ’’. [55]
And it is reported from the book ‘Fazaail Al-Sahaba’ of Al-Sam’any, by his chain from Abu Haround Al-Abdy, from Abu Saeed Al-Khudri who said, ‘(Syeda) Fatima-asws entered to see Rasool-Allah-saww. When she-asws saw what weakness there was with Rasool-Allah-saww, the tears choked her-asws until her-asws tears flowed upon the cheek of Rasool-Allah-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww said to her: ‘What make you-asws cry, O Fatima-asws? ’ She-asws said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I-asws fear the neglect from after you-saww’. Rasool-Allah-saww said to her-asws: ‘O Fatima-asws! Do you-asws not know that Allah-azwj Noticed to the people of the earth with a Notice and Chose your-asws father-saww from them, then He-azwj Sent him-saww as a Rasool-saww. Then He-azwj Noticed secondly and Chose your-asws husband-asws from them. He-azwj Commanded me-saww that I-saww get you-asws married to him-asws. So, I-saww got you-asws married to the greatest of the Muslims in wisdom, and most abundant of them in knowledge, and most advance of them is submissiveness (to Allah-azwj). I-saww did not get you-asws married, but Allah-azwj Married you-asws to him-asws’. He (the narrator) said, ‘(Syeda) Fatima-asws smiled and rejoiced. Then he-saww said: ‘O Fatima-asws! We-asws, People-asws of the Household have been Given seven characteristics not one from the former ones had been Given, nor anyone from the latter ones would come across it. Our Prophet-saww is best of the Prophets-as, and he-saww is your-asws father-saww, and our successor-asws is best of the successors-as, and he-asws is your-asws husband, and our martyrs is best of the martyrs, and he-as is the uncle-as of your-asws father-saww, Hamza-as, and from us-asws there is one having two wings for him-as. He-as flies with these in the Paradise wherever he-as so desires to, and he-as is Ja’far-as, and from us-asws are two chiefs of this community, and they-asws are your-asws son-asws Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and from us-asws is Mahdi-asws of this community’’.
