Rewards (Sawaab) to await for Imam's Appearance (Zahoor)
It is related to Hzt.Imam Raza(AS) that Rasool
(SW) said: Among the good, virtuous (Nek)
practices of my Ummat one is to
await for Hzt.Hujjat (AS)"s appearance (Zahoor).
Imam Zain-ul-Aabedeen(AS) says: In the last period (Akhri zamana) those
who will be eagerly
awaiting for Imam's (AS) Zahoor are superior to people
belonging to any other age/period, and
these are our true friends.
Imam Md.Baquer (AS) says: Those who awaited for Imam's (AS) Zahoor
and died before
Zahoor are equal to Martyr (Shaheed).
Imam Amirul Momeneen (AS) says: Wait for Zahoor because it is the best
action/practice in
view of God. A person who waits for our orders is like
one who has been martyred in God's path
and wallows in his own blood.
One day Rasool (SW) asked God: Aye, Khuda unite me with my brothers.
Rasool(SW)'s
companions (Ashaab) asked, are we not your brothers? Rasool
(SW) replied, no because you are
my ashaab. My brothers are those who will
belong to last age/period and will have faith on me.
Even though they did
not see me. Each person will be strong footed in his Deen. God will
liberate
them from all evil.
Hzt. Imam Jaffer-e-Sadiq(AS) says: This Ayat from Quran " Hudan lil
muttaqeen al lazeena
yumenoona bil ghaib" refers to those people who have
faith on Hzt.Hujaat (AS)'s occultation and
believe in Zahoor and say
it is the truth (Haq) and will surely happen.
Hzt.Rasool (SW) told Moula Ali(AS): Aye ALi
(AS), those people who have stronger faith in
religion will belong to the
last age/period. Because they have not seen me and at that time Hujjat-
e-Khuda (AS) will also be in occultation. In spite of this they
will have faith only through Ayats and
Akhbaar ( Ahadees).
Imam Zain-ul-Abedeen (AS) says: whichever person who remains firm on
our Wilayat and
friendship during Qayam (AS)'s occultation , God will
bestow upon him Sawab equivalent to that
gained by thousand martyrs of
Battles of Badr and Ohad.
Imam Jaffer-e-Sadiq (AS)
says: Whichever person dies after awaiting for Zahoor then he is like
a
person who is in Qayam(AS)"s camp. In other place it is there that whoever
dies awaiting for
Zahoor is like a person who was martyred in the pious
company of Hazrat (AS).
