Sayings By Imam Mahdi (A.S.)

1. I am a remainder from Adam, a relic of Noah, a choice from Abraham and an elite of Muhammad (PBUT). ¹
2. Indeed, right is with us and in us, and nobody else say that but a liar and an impostor. ²
3. Truly, the Exalted Allah is the one who created all forms and apportioned the provision; because He is not a form nor is He embodied in a form; nothing can be compared with him; and he is the All-hearing All-knowing. ³
4. Verily, Allah is with us and we have no need to other than Him; right is with us so we won’t be distressed by those who desist from helping us; we are the willing tools of our Lord and people are our willing tools. ⁴
5. Knowledge is ours; do not care about the unbeliever’s unbelief. ⁵
6. If our devotees’ (may Allah give them success in obeying Him) hearts are gathered on meeting their obligation, their good fortune of meeting us would not have been delayed, and their joy of seeing us would have been expedited. ⁶
7. I declare-unto Allah and His Messenger-that I am not accountable for whoso claims that we know what is hidden (the divine secret), that we share with Allah His rule, or places us in a rank other than that which Allah approved for us. ⁷
8. The superiority of invocation and glorification of God subsequent to the obligatory prayers, over the invocation subsequent to the supererogatory prayers is like the superiority of the obligatory over the supererogatory prayers. ⁷
9. Nothing spites Satan like performing the prayer, so perform it and spite him! ⁸
10. Indeed, I am a safeguard to the inhabitants of earth as the stars are safeguards to the inhabitants of heaven. ⁹
11. But Allah’s foreordainment could not be struggled with, His will could not be refused and His (granting of) Success could not be preceded. ²
12. And as for the reason behind the occurrence of the (my) occultation, Allah The Almighty said, ” Believers, do not ask questions about things which, if made known to you would only pain you”. ⁹
13. Indeed, earth could not be without a hujja (a proof, a prophet or his vice), either manifest or occult. ¹⁰
14. Whenever an authority disappears, another one appears; and if a star sets, another one rises. ¹¹
15. O Allah, bestow upon us the success of obedience, the avoidance of disobedience, sincerity and knowledge of the forbidden; and confer upon us guidance and straightness. ¹²
16. He is cursed (twice) he who delays performing the early morning prayer until the stars disappear (the sun rises). ¹³
17. Allah shall provide for his needs he who needs Allah. ¹⁴
18. Almighty Allah refuses but to perfect the truth and to make falsehood vanish and He is a witness over me in what I am saying. ¹⁵
19. And as for the way of benefiting from me during my occultation, it is the same as benefiting from the sun when it is beclouded; and I am a safeguard to the inhabitants of earth as the stars are safeguards to the inhabitants of heaven. ¹⁶
20. Increase praying for the expediting of my manifestation because indeed it is your release from suffering. ¹⁷
21. If you ask for guidance, you shall have it; and if you pursue something, you shall find it. ¹⁸
22. No one is permitted to act independently regarding another’s possessions without his permission. ¹⁹
23. There is no kinship between Allah and anyone; whoso denies me, does not belong to me. ²⁰
24. I seek refuge in Allah from blindness after clearness, from error after guidance and from the mortal sins and the deadly trials. ²¹
25. The outcome of Allah’s gracious handiwork shall be benign for them as long as they avoid (committing) the prohibited sins. ²²
26. I ask Allah to protect me (from the enemies), to be gracious to me and to bring forth my rule. ²³
27. We are neither negligent of caring for you nor forgetful of you; and if it were not for that, hardship would have befallen you and the enemies would have massacred you, so fear God and support us. ²⁴
28. And as for the recent occurrences, turn to the relaters of our Hadiths for they are my proof upon you, and I am Allah’s proof upon them. ¹⁶
29. If you ask Almighty Allah for forgiveness, He will forgive you. ²⁵
30. Allah did not create the creation in vain, nor did He leave them alone to no purpose. ²⁶
31. Let everyone of you do what ingratiates him with us and avoid what arises our aversion and displeasure with him. ²⁷
32. O Allah, fulfill your promise to me, complete my rule for me, increase my force and fill earth by me with justice and fairness. ²⁸
33. I bear witness that there is no god but He-and the angels, and men possessed of knowledge- upholding justice; there is no god but He the All-mighty, the All-wise; the true religion with Allah is Islam. ²⁹
34. I am Allah’s Remainder (representative) in His earth, and the avenger on his enemies. ³⁰
35. Our hearts are receptacles for Allah’s will, so that if He wills we comply. ³¹
36. Were it not for our desire to see you righteous and the mercy and pity we feel for you, we would have been too occupied to address you. ³²
37. I am al-Mahdi (the guided one), I am the imam of the time and I am the one who fills it (earth) with justice just as it was filled with injustice and tyranny. ³³
38. The oppressors alleged that Allah’s proof is invalid, and if we were permitted to speak out, the uncertainty would disappear. ³⁴
39. We have comprehensive knowledge of your news, and not a thing of it escapes us. ²⁴
40. The faith is Muhammad’s (his assignment), may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him and his household; and guidance is `Ali’s, the Commander of The Believers, may peace be upon him, because it is meant for him and will remain in his descendants until the Day of Resurrection. ³⁵
41. And whoso oppresses us will be one of those who wrong us, and Allah’s curse shall rest upon him because of the Almighty’s saying, ” Surely, Allah’s curse shall rest upon the wrongdoers”. ⁸
42. All my fathers and I are servants of Almighty Allah. ³⁶
43. The prostration of gratitude is from among the most indispensable and most necessary of the sunna practices (Prophetic Tradition). ³⁷
44. If Allah permits us to speak, the truth would emerge and falsehood would vanish and be pulled away from you. ³⁸
45. And in the Prophet’s daughter, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him and his household, there is a good example. ³⁹
46. And as for the occurrence of the manifestation, it is up to Allah, and those who appoint a moment lie. ¹⁶
47. So fear God and submit to us, refer the matter to us, because we are the ones who execute Allah’s commands as we were the ones who received them; do not try to uncover what was concealed form you and make your intention to love us according to the clear way. ³²
48. No manifestation but after Allah’s permission, and that will be after the passing of a long term, the hardening of the hearts and the filling of earth with tyranny. ⁴⁰
49. There will come to my devotees those who will claim seeing (me). Verily, whosoever claims the seeing before the rising of al-Sofiany and the Cry, is a liar and a forger; and there is no power except with Almighty Allah. ^{40 41}
