Ikmaaluddin: Shaibani has narrated from Asadi from Sahal from Abdul Azeem Hasani from Imam Ali Naqi (a.s.) from his honorable forefathers from Amirul Momineen (a.s.) that he said:
“Our Qaim will have an occultation, the duration of which is long. As if I see the Shia, roving about like cattle searching for pasture and not finding it. Behold, whoever from them stays firm on his religion and will not become stone-hearted because of delay in occultation of his Imam, he will be with me in my rank on Judgment Day.” Then he said: “When he rises, our Qaim will not have allegiance to anyone on his shoulders. For this reason, his birth will be concealed and his person will be hidden.”

Ikmaaluddin: It is narrated from Ibne Walid from Saffar from Ibne Yazid from Ayyub Ibne Nuh that:
I said to Imam Reza (a.s.), “We hope that you will be the Patron of this Affair and that may Allah, the Exalted, confer this to you without use of violence. You have been pledged allegiance to and coins have been minted on your name.”
He said: “There is no one of us that letters come and go to him, is asked questions, pointed with fingers, and religious dues taken to, but he will be assassinated or he will die on his bed, until Allah, the Exalted, sends for this Order a man whose birth and place of growth will be hidden and he will not be hidden in his lineage.”

QURAN SURAH QASAS 28:5-6
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
{5}وَ نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ نَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَ نَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِثِينَ
{6}وَ نُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ نُرِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ هَامَانَ وَ جُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَحْذَرُونَ
“AND WE DESIRED TO BESTOW A FAVOR UPON THOSE WHO WERE DEEMED WEAK IN THE LAND, AND TO MAKE THEM THE IMAMS, AND TO MAKE THEM THE HEIRS, AND TO GRANT THEM POWER IN THE LAND, AND TO MAKE FIRON AND HAMAN AND THEIR HOSTS SEE FROM THEM WHAT THEY FEARED.” (SURAH QASAS 28:5-6)
Ghaibat Tusi: It is narrated from Ahmad bin Idris from Ali bin Fadhl from Ahmad bin Uthman from Ahmad bin Rizq from Yahya bin Alaa Raazi that he said:
I heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say, “Allah will bring forth in this Ummah a man who belongs to me and I belong to him. Allah will drive the blessings of the heavens and the earth through him. The heavens will rain down its drops; and the earth will grow out its seeds: and its beasts and brutes will live in harmony; and it will be full of equity and justice, as it had been replete with oppression and injustice. He will put so many on the sword that the ignorant will say, ‘If he was from the progeny of Muhammad, he would be merciful.”

It is mentioned on the authority of Abu Tufayl that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) said:
“Even if a single day remains from the world, Allah will send a man from my Ahle Bayt, who will fill the earth with justice just as it will be full of corruption.”

Imam Mahdi will introduce himself by Imam Hussain and the event of Ashura:
It’s narrated that when Imam Mahdi reappeared, he will stand next to Ka’ba in Mecca, introduce himself by Imam Hussain and what happened on Ashura to him and state clearly five sentences:
”O people of the world! I am the uprising Imam.
O people of the world! I am the avenger.
O people of the world! my grandfather, Hussain, was killed while he was thirsty.
O people of the world! my grandfather was left without dress.
O people of the world! they damaged the body of my grandfather.”
-Imam Mahdi (May God hasten his reappearance)
