Hadith 138

le were two men, one of the two would be the Imam-asws’. And he-asws said: ‘The last one to die would be the Imam-asws, lest anyone could argue upon Allah-azwj and He-azwj had Left him without there being a Divine Authority of Allah-azwj upon him. The intent with the Imam-asws over here is the one who would be the last one to be dying, Al-Husayn-asws, because the Divine Authority would be standing upon the creatures with a warning or guidance’. In summary, besides the indication to him-ajfj is based upon what is reported from them-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, among what has preceded from, that Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, he-asws is the one who would wash Al-Mahdi-ajfj and he-asws shall rule after him-ajfj in the world for as long as Allah-azwj so Desires, and it obligates upon the one who acknowledges to Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww with the Imamate and obligation of the obedience that he should submit to them-asws in what they-asws are saying and not return anything from their Ahadith reported from them-asws, then he would not be opposing the Book and the Sunnah’’. [176]
Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Husayn Bin Musa Bin Babuwayh, from Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Musa Al Daqqaq, from Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Kufy, from Musa Bin Imran Al Nakhaie, from his uncle Al-Husayn Bin Yazeed Al Nowfaly, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from his father, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I said to Al-Sadiq-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! I heard from your-asws father-asws having said: ‘There shall happen to be twelve Imams-asws after Al-Qaim-ajfj’. He-asws said: ‘He-asws had said: ‘Twelve Mahdis (Guided ones)’, and he-asws did not say: ‘Twelve Imams-asws’, but they would be a group of our-asws Shias calling the people to our-asws Wilayah and recognition of our-asws rights’’. [177]
It has been reported in the Hadith from them-asws: ‘Not all what is known is said, nor all what is said, its time has arrived, nor all what its time has arrive, its people would be present’’. [178]
And it is reported as well: ‘Do not be saying ‘Al-Jibt’ and ‘Al-Taghoot’ and be saying Al-Raj’at’. If they said, ‘You have been saying so’. Say, ‘Now we are not saying’, and this is from a door of Taqiyya (dissimulation) which Allah-azwj has Enslaved His-azwj servants with it during the time of the successors-asws’’. [179]
And from the book ‘Al Bisharat’ of the Seyyid Razi Al Deen Ali Bin Tawoos, in a book compiled by Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik Al Kufi, by his chain to Humran who said, ‘The age of the world is one hundred thousand years. For rest of the people are twenty thousand years, and eighty thousand years are for Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, upon him‑saww and upon them-asws be the greetings’’. [180]
