Hadith 1

(The book) ‘Al-Ghayba’ of the Sheikh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa Al Tal’ukbari, from Ahmad Bin Ali Al Razi. He said, ‘It is narrated to me by Sheylh who arrived at Al Rayy to Abu Al-Husayn Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al Asady. He reported two Ahadeeth to him regarding Master-ajfj of the Time, and I heard them from him just as he had hear, and I thing that was before the year three hundred or near than it. He said, ‘It is narrated to me by Ibrahim Al Fadaky who said, ‘Al Awdy said, ‘While I was in performance of Tawaaf having completed six circuits and I was intending to perform the seventh, there I was with a circle (of people) on the right of the Kabah, and a youth of handsome face, pleasant aroma, awesome and with prestige, drew near to the people. He spoke. I had not seen anyone better than his speech nor anyone of more freshness from his speaking in the goodness of his gathering. I went to speak to him. The people scolded me. I asked one of them, ‘Who is this? ’ He said, ‘The son-ajfj of Rasool-Allah-saww. He-ajfj appears to the people during one day every year to his‑ajfj special ones. He-ajfj discusses with them and they discuss with him-ajfj’. I said, ‘O my Master-ajfj! A seeker of guidance has come to you-ajfj, so guide me, may Allah-azwj guide you-ajfj! ’
He (the narrator) said: ‘He-ajfj Give me a pebble’. I turned my face. One of his-ajfj gatherers said to me, ‘What is that which the son-ajfj of Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ I said, ‘A pebble’. I uncovered it from my hand, and behold, it was a nugget of gold. I went, and there I was with him-ajfj having caught up. He-ajfj said: ‘The argument has been affirmed upon you, and the truth has been revealed to you, and the blindness has gone away from you. Do you recognise me-ajfj? ’ I said, ‘O Allah-azwj, no! ’
He-ajfj said: ‘I-ajfj am Al-Mahdi-ajfj! I-ajfj am custodian of the Time! I-ajfj am the one who will be filling it with justice just as it would have been filled with injustice and tyranny. The earth cannot be vacant from a Divine Authority, nor can the people remain in a gap period more than the wandering of the children of Israel, and the days of my-ajfj emergence have appeared, so this is an entrustment in your neck. Narrate with it to your brethren from the people of truth’’. [1]
Explanation: Perhaps this is from what wherein is a Change of Decision (Al-Bada’a), and he-ajfj informed with a matter which was other than inevitable attached with conditions, or the intended with the ‘emergence’ is appearance of his-ajfj matter to most of the Shias through the ambassadors, and the more apparent is what is in the report of Al-Sadouq.
