الخليفة الشرعيه the Imam the 12th rightly guided Imam the 12th rightly guided خليفة كالف peace and blessings be upon him I congratulate you all on the birth of his Eminence المهدي و ابن الحسن العسكري فاطمي العلوي the sacred night of شعبان on the 15th of شعبان to be exact was when الله سبحانه وتعالى final خليفة the ninth from the children of Hussein ابن علي peace and blessings be upon him was born

intercession in the hereafter my dear brothers and sisters I begin by quoting the verse in صورة الحج verse 99 الله سبحانه وتعالى said and worship your lord until you attain the يقين the certainty صدق الله العلي العظيم my dear brothers and sisters today's topic of discussion شاء الله depending on our enemy which is time but in a not of course time is not an enemy because time is a مخلوق it is created by Allah سبحانه وتعالى but in the case of when it comes to these topics we are very limited when it comes to our time and we want to be able to get to you to get to the fruits of our discussion in شاء الله tonight's topic is deemed and is called the traditions concerning the مهدي amongst the Muslims we'll be looking at a couple of things إن شاء الله we'll be looking for example depending on our time of course the عقيدة of المهدي in the books of the Muslims و بالخصوص explicitly looking at the عقيدة of the مهدي in what in the books of اهد الخلاف the non-شيعة because amongst us the شيعة there is a consensus amongst our شيعة 12 or شيعة concerning المهدي المنتظر the majority of all the شيعة there's not a single 12 or شيعي today we'll tell you that we do not have belief in المهدي المنتظر and that he was born and that he is in غيبة and that he will appear everything that the شيعة believe in is مطابق it is parallel to what the Prophet صلى الله عليه و أعالي prophesies and the Quran spoke of we will be looking at the traditions of the Muslims as a whole the عقيدة of the مهدي is it an عقيدة or not we will discover that the حديث concerning the مهدي are more than what i can even begin to narrate begin to explain begin to fathom and we will discover some some testimonies for example from some of the most staunch scholars of اهل السن اهل الخلاف concerning how the عقيدة can be taken from the the the صحيح حديث even if the صحيح حديث is not متواتر and we will discuss briefly what تواتر means as well the definition of تواتر because today some people come and they begin to say well you believe in the مهدي it's not in the Quran how can you believe in the مهدي and unfortunately because we lack the discussion because we lack the background we tend to cower and and either walk away or use the wrong argument for our brothers and sisters of the other schools of thought my dear brothers and sisters the basis that i began and i wanted to begin this topic my انتودي is the ayah and the Quran and i will refer to it insha'Allah my dear brothers and sisters there is a topic when in islam there's a discussion in islam concerning what is called استقرار النافس استقرار النافس which is can be which can be translated استقرار is is the stability استقرار in english is referred to as stability or when you say استقر الماء مثلا على طاولة for example we say the water has subsided and has remained still on the table so pretend for example that you were pouring water on the table until the water began to overfill and the water began to fall over the table until the water reached a point of standstill where it no longer is falling over the edges and it has reached his capacity it has taken up the volume of the table or the surface area of the table the water has reached a point of استقرار and نفس as you know is usually referred to as the self or the soul استقرار why is استقرار النافس very important my dear brothers and sisters as we live in a world which there is many turmoil we live in a world where there is turmoil we live in a world where there is terrorism we live in a world where we are dealt affliction and trials pains and suffering and recently of course we have been been tested by this affliction and this trial which is this virus that is plaguing our homes a microscopic entity that the naked eye cannot see is bringing about fear and anxiety and other feelings and emotions to man to the human being استقرار النافس is a goal in which all of us wish to attain استقرار النافس means the stability of the self and استقرار النافس the stability of your very soul not just your physical soul by the way when we speak about استقرار النافس yes the definition we say the stability of the self or the stability of the soul it could be pertaining to for example the inner soul but no استقرار النافس deals with the physical and the metaphysical it deals with your physical body your embodiment and the spirit because when there is an equilibrium between your body and between your soul and your body and soul have stability then when trials are dealt trials are dealt in a different way why do i say this استقرار النافس means this it means that excuse me استقرار النافس means for example i have some examples here for you that when let's say you are dealt with troubles an affliction loss maybe wealth for example you were hit or in case of our loved ones for example now being afflicted and our friends and family and neighbors استقرار النافس means that when that news that usually could shake your very core having that يقين and that stability and that عقيدة when your عقيدة is strong when things come your way it will not shake your very core you'll remain stable because you have you have a connection with الله سبحانه وتعالى you have a strong connection with الله سبحانه وتعالى and all that comes from your way from to you you have توقل الله سبحانه وتعالى you have said الحمد لله for whatever may come your way we see i have here written having يقين in all its definition possessing توقل توقل perfect trust in الله and only when man will feel that she or he is victorious is in this matter when you are dealt with a مصيبة you say الحمد لله you say الحمد لله thank god and you do not begin to blame god for your trials and afflictions this is my dear brothers and sisters what استقرار النافس is and استقرار النافس is deeply intertwined and deeply connected with يقين and in order to reach يقين we find that معرفة for example constant knowledge prayer supplication دعاء all of these positive traits of man all of those which can be classified as جنود العقل the soldiers of the intellect which are completely opposite of جنود الجهل the soldiers of ignorance in which يم عليهم السلام peace be upon them in كتاب الكافي for example go back to الكتاب العقل والجهل the beginning before كتاب العلم and كتاب الكافي you'll find the Imam less these جنود these soldiers traits like الإحسان for example being good and showing favor traits like الخير being being somebody who gives خير and who does خير prayer and supplication and all these other things anything that brings us closer to الله سبحانه وتعالى is a way for us to what to branch and to sorry it is a way for us to to ascend towards a higher level of يقين and the higher our يقين is the better our استقرار is we reach a point of equilibrium we reach a point where for example you can take an irregular heart beat as an example an irregular heart beat is one that does not have استقرار and slowly as the heartbeat begins to come and the intervals which I believe they're called the HRV the HRV which is a very today for example they say that your HRV is a better indication of your health than your heart rate is the intervals between the wavelengths when they become when they become larger and your heart rate slows down you have that stability you begin to see that stability in your heart and that is to constant other supplication إحسان towards your parents friends and family إحسان towards your neighbors giving charity all of these look at استقرار as a giant tree which is the foundation that you wish to seek and then look at all these characteristics as branches of this استقرار and look at the fruits that grow on these branches as nourishment nourishment for your soul because استقرار is your goal this is the tree that you wish to you be able to have a strong foundation this tree is your foundation these branches and then the more branches you have and the more nourishment you get the more healthy this tree becomes and the more healthy you become and why is استقرار connected to the Iqeen and this goes back to our verse in the Holy Quran the verse in the Holy Quran which we mentioned in Surat al-Hijj verse 99 وعبود وعبود وعبود ربك حتى يأتيك اليقين and worship your lord excuse me until you reach يقين and we know from the narrations that عبادة عبادة by itself is like an empty bubble عبادة by itself without معرفة is no عبادة at all that is why the عرف the one who has knowledge the one who has understanding that worship Allah is one who is greater in his reward and connection with Allah and why is يقين connected to استقرار this also goes back to the fact that يقين in the Arabic language means استقرار ثبوت الشيء that when something becomes concrete and stable it is يقين that's why when the arab say يقين الماء في الحفرة and the water has stabilized in what in that crevice in the earth and that is where the word يقين or the derivatives of يقين come from and that is why we say that if it's important that your connection with Allah is stronger than that means that in order for you to reach a closer connection with Allah in order for you to reach a استقرار in your نفس it means that your connection with رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله as well will have to be strong and again your connection with your Imam and the ام and the اهل البيت عليهم السلام why because the prophethood is a median for us to reach Allah سبحانه و تعالى without the prophet there is no means for us to reach Allah the prophet teaches us the methodologies and the ways the sunnah which is from Allah سبحانه و تعالى the prayer the supplication the اعمال and then the imams عليهم السلام هو ما هو the treasures حفاظ السنة they are the protectors of the sunnah they are the ones who know the sunnah from inside and out they are the ones who will lead us to the prophet and then to Allah سبحانه و تعالى which is why in this period my dear bells and sisters in order for us to have the stability of the نفس the stability of the heart the stability of the soul a connection with the imam of our time is very important and the belief in the imam of our time is even of utmost importance which is why the عقيدة of the مهدي is an obligation من ضروريات الدين from the obligation of the religion and you will find inshallah in my message today is from my dear brothers and sisters of the other school of islam who is the imam of your time this is a message of love by the way this is not a message of hatred this is a message of love to all of you out there who is the imam of your time do you not wish to have a stability a stability of the soul stability of the نفس do you not wish to reach a closer connection to Allah سبحانه و تعالى in order that the afflictions that come your way you say الحمد لله which is why the عقيدة my dear brothers and sisters ان المهدي عقلا عقلا the logical point of view the intellect itself the عقل tells us that we have to connect with he who is the medium to Allah سبحانه و تعالى in this time period now if you're in the time period of جعفر بدا محمد الصادق then جعفر بدا محمد الصادق would be that individual and we will see insha'Allah at the end of this conclusion of this بحث that ان الأرض لا تخلو من الحجة the earth the earth at any period in time and any period in the continuum continuum of time and space will not be void of a حجة قائم بالله قائم للله عفوة and it's from that bob my dear brothers and sisters that we wish to speak of the عقيدة of the مهدي and this is from this introduction we wish to begin which is the topic of today the Muslim the مهدي and the traditions of the Muslims so all my dear brothers and sisters know that the obligation the عقيدة is an obligation and it's not something that i made up yes there are differences when it comes to the مهدي we'll find that there are possibly three school three views when it comes to the مهدي in the عقائد of اهد الخلاف one of them being that he is not born yet and he will be born yet and when he is born he is not even sure if he is the مهدي and suddenly he becomes the مهدي that's one عقيدة a second عقيدة from اهد الخلاف is that he was born and he died this is very very limited school of people who actually believe this عقيدة and there are so is a minority from علماء that are not شيع by the way there are من اهل السنة who believe he was born and he is a son of الحسن العسكري and he will come out اخر الزمان the same مهدي that we believe in the son of علماء حسن العسكري عليه السلام so there are differences yes but first we want to prove the عقيدة بالمهدي and we'll look at some of the narrations inshallah for example some of the narrations we have for you today the first حديث being in جامعة ترمديو book 33 حديث 73 go to www.sunna.com and you will find the following حديث in جامعة ترمديو قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله لا تذهب الدنيا حتى يملك العربة رجل من اهل بيتي يواطئ اسمه اسمي يا وابوهير قال هذا حديث هذا حديث حسن صحيح i think i believe that the the grading of these حاديث are from الشيخ الالباني it says عبد الله narrated that the messenger of Allah peace be upon him they say peace be upon him we say peace be upon him and his family said the world shall not pass until a man from the people of my family rules the Arabs whose name is akin to mine whose name is like mine ميم حق the name that we are told to not mention according to our حاديث we should not mention the name of the imam المهدي صاحب العصي والزمان from the حاديث of the imam the imam they tell us to not mention his name and this حاديث of course is also found reported in the musland of احمد ابن حنبل the imam of the حنابلة and again another report found in صحيح ترمدي volume 2 page 46 which has a different content the method is different the content of the حاديث is different from Abu Harairah who said and if only one day is left in the دنيا الله will prolong that day until he arrives it says the حاديث is حسن another حاديث these these these narrations and these references take take them into account and write them down insha'Allah and if you can't currently then after insha'Allah these are very important all of these are very important to have at your disposal in سنة الابداوت book 38 حاديث number four the prophet again says if only one day of this world remained Allah would lengthen that day that's according to the version of زائد till he raised up in it a man who belongs to me or my family whose father's name is the same as my father's who will fill the earth with equity and justice as it has been filled with oppression and tyranny this is according to the version of الفط صفيان's version of the حاديث which is the version of امران ابو بكر as well which says the world will not pass before the عرصة بيرود با يمان of my family whose name will be the same as mine we will find by the way that حاديث اهل بيت يواطئ اسمه اسمه اسمه ابيه اسمه ابي you will find that this version of the حاديث is actually one of the fabrications and that the حاديث that is متواتر and the حاديث that is known that صحيح amongst اهل الخلاف is the one who merely says that that the عرصة بيرود با يمان who who man of family whose name will be the same as mine يواطئ اسمه اسمه اسمه that's it that زيادة at the end and we're not even discussing this it's a different discussion is an addition and you'll find that there is some political reasoning behind this which was during the time of المهدي and his father and so on and so forth مهدي العباسي عليهم والعان الله of course the حاديث of the مهدي here are some of the صحابة that have narrated the حاديث of the مهدي as an example علي ابن ابي طالب الحسين ابن علي اثمان ابن عفان ام مسلمة طلح ابن عبدالله ام حبيبة عبدالله ابن عباس عبدالله ابن مسعود عبدالله ابن عمر ابو سعيد للنخدري ابو هريره جابر ابن عبدالله الانصاري وانا سبنة مالك وانا أخي فما صحابة who have narrated the حاديث this is just some of the names and then again some of the books that have reported narrations of the مهدي مسند احمد ابن حنبل has narrated by himself over 200 حاديث of the امام المهدي المتضرة from different versions of the حاديث those who have been saying he is from the sons of فاطمة those who say he is from my household from the sons of فاطمة those who say he is the ninth and so on and so forth الترمدي in his جامع انه سابوري in his مستدرك البخوي in his مصابح السنة ابن العذر in his نهاية ابن تيميه in his منهاج السنة as well as reported the حاديث of the مهدي and you'll see that even ابن تيميه has not disregarded the belief of the مهدي اخر الزمان الذهبي انه تلخيس المستدرك التفتزاري ان شرح المقاصد الهيثمي ان مجمع الزوائد and others the حاديث concerning the مهدي are more than what we can begin to narrate to you my dear brothers and sisters the عقيدة of the مهدي is found charged within all of the books of the Muslims especially the حاديث concerning a man from my household في آخر الزمان سيخرج سيظهر سيقوم that he will arrive or he will rise he will come from my family his name is akin to my name and he will fill the earth and he will share justice and peace and he will fill it after he has been filled with tyranny and injustice these حاديث my dear brothers and sisters are متواتر they are متواتر meaning they have been narrated to the point in which we have attained يقين certainty they have been reported by several narrators and they have been reported by several narrators meaning the gist of the حاديث in the معنى meaning that if you were to paraphrase the main message of the حاديث التمهدي في آخر الزمان كده وكده وكده this there is تواتر in this not تواتر in لفضي meaning the actual level of the حاديث the actual content no but the actual content in terms of the actual message behind the حاديث تواتر معنوية and there are many who have said there is تواتر in this and those who have disregarded this in fact some of them have called them as people who are not they have no علم they have no knowledge here i found this from some of the researchers online where they have just as an idea of of look of how many narrations there are concerning each specific chapter or each specific chapter concerning the معنى المهدي and how the حاديث were narrated for example traditions that speak about his ضهور 657 traditions that speak that he will fill the world with justice 123 traditions that speak that he is from the أهل البيت 389 those that speak he is from the sons of امير المؤمنين 214 sons of فاطمة 192 sons of حسين 185 sons the 9th son of حسين 148 and so on and so on and so on and so forth some of the narrations we have as well across schools some of them yes some of them are weak some of them are good some of them are reliable but there are a حاديث in the thousands it's not a matter of it's شاد or حاديث أحاد when narrated by one person no the matter of the عقيدة of the مهدي is instilled in the books of the muslims here is for example one of the who we have here محمد ابن أحمد السفاريني died in the year 1188 after after the head of the prophet a h he is a محاديث أحافظ أفقيه أصولي in his book لوامعو لوامعو أنوار البهيه he says the following and the traditions that have reached the point of تواتر المعنوي again تواتر المعنوي it's reported an account that is reported numerously by different narrators and through various chains of transmission in a way that substantiates that it's authentic and that is يقين that is certain he says in معنوي meaning the the معنة behind it the message behind the حاديث is found in all these narrations not تلافظ meaning the content itself like و اسمه اسمه أبي و أو رواطة ايه اسمه see those two are maybe narrated differently but they have the same message all that has been reported provides us with the outmost certainty for the belief in the coming of the مهدي is obligatory and it has been stated by the people of knowledge and transcribed in the عقائد of the أهل السنة he says it is a belief meaning what meaning if you are to what any who anybody from the muslims today who's comes and he looks at the sheehan said you believe in the مهدي it's your علماء your predecessors have all stated that تعقيد أبل مهدي is an obligation it has been written in the books of حديث it has been written in the books of عقائد another example الإمام الشوكاني death 1250 after hijrah أفقيه أموشتهد one of the grand scholars of yemen he also says son of Mary peace be upon him have reached the point of تواتر and there is no doubt in them other examples and my dear brothers and sisters several several several more of these testimonies and there's no time to narrate all of them there is so much to say there is so much to say the أحاديث concerning the مهدي are are found even the أحاديث concerning the مهدي that he's from the sons of فاطمة sons of حسين from the house of محمد from قريش they are found in the books of the muslims and my dear brothers and sisters now i have some my time my time is at 30 right now let me give you some references only that state he is from the son of فاطمة it's basically from the son of فاطمة i have here بخاري in his تاريخ الكبير volume h page 406 حديث 3497 سنن أبي داوود chapter المهدي volume 2 page 310 حديث 3735 the coming of the مهدي in the سنن الابن ماجع chapter the coming of the مهدي حديث 4076 التباراني المعجم الكبير chapter اليا حديث 18261 and so on and so forth my dear brothers and sisters the حديث of the مهدي is obligatory even if it's not in the قرآن and next time somebody tells you in the قرآن give them that these are علماء who have told us that what they have told us that the عقيدة of the مهدي is واجب and let's say for example that there is no indication no although there is indication no قرآن المهدي we have we have قرآن اك ورسس يظهره على الدين كله and other ones for example in صورة التوبة i believe صورة التوبة chapter verse 55 it memorizes me correctly there are indications of the final hours and the fact that this religion of الله سبحانه وتعالى will be مجموعة من all other faiths and religions in the world but here for the sake of argument let's see what ابن تيمية says in منهاج السنة or مجموعة فتاوة من هاج السنة we have here he says in مجموعة فتاوة ابن تيمية a book where i was collected that has all the فتاوة ابن تيمية الحراني volume four page 160 he tells us and he is from the سلف according to them he is fake all islam سلف الصالح look at the منهاج of ابن تيمية concerning the عقيدة where can the عقيدة be taken from he says واجب اعتقاده وكذلك ما يثبت في الأحاديث الصحيحة مثل صحيح البخاري ومسلم he says to them the عقيدة is not taken from me nor though he who is greater than me the عقيدة is taken from الله from the messenger of الله and the سلفة لأمة as they referred the سلف الصالح the precesses of the umma the صحابة and so on and in some cases even the تابعين there are some اقاعد that are built even on the تابعين and so whatever is in the قرآن فما كان في القرآن واجب اعتقاده it is obligatory for you to believe in اذا وكذلك ما في الأحاديث الصحيحة مثل الصحيح البخاري ومسلم and this صحيح أحاديث that is found in مخاري المسلم meaning even ابن تيمي here what understood from his words is that even the احاديث رأى احاديث درد خبر واحد صحيح one transmitter but صحيح you can build upon تأقيدة there you go my jibals and sisters تأقيدة بالمهدي صحيحه obligatory upon all the Muslims yes the characteristics of the مهدي there is a difference of opinion is he born is he not born and this brings us to the end of our discussion concerning is he born is he not born yes the majority might have said or they claim that he is not born though we have narrations we have testimonies even from اهلو الانساب those who deal with with the specificities of lineage and genealogy who have narrated that there is in حسن العسكر he had a son and his name was ميم حا ميم داد المهدي المطرع جلاله تعالى فرجه الشريف لاسم المقدس and we have sources and we have testimonies from سمع علماء yes some of these علماء they might not be taken as حجة but my my job is to give you these names and my and then your job is to go and leave the rest to you i'm not here the only thing that i wish for you to take from today is one thing and we'll look at the end the last thing later which is the first thing is the عقيدة of the مهدي is an obligation that an Imam an individual who will come in the end of time who will be aided by الله سبحانه وتعالى who will fill this earth with justice and peace after has filled with tyranny and injustice he is from the family of the Prophet from the sons of فاطمة from the sons of حسين and yes i didn't have time to go through all the حادث but you'll find that these are حادث that are relied upon at the least from the sons of فاطمة are many of them as well this is the number one belief that your number one lesson you have to take from today and then we'll look at the other lesson later but first let me narrate to you some of these علماء these are not شيع by the way whoever says they're not شيع it's very clear from their wordings and from their language that they're not شيع أبو سالم كمال الدين محمد ابنو طلحة ابنو محمد الشافعي القرشي دائد in the year 652 after hijrah a sunni scholar شافعي in his book مطالب السؤول in the book in chapter 12 he says أبو القاسم صن أف الحسن الخالس and he begins to say that this is the Imam and he was taken into hiding because of the Abbas's emperor at the time and so on and so forth yes he doesn't believe in the imma the 12 imams but he believes in this imam the same imam that we believe in a شيع and as a quick biography of the heavy of the heavy in his سير علام النبلاء he says العلمة الأوحد كمال الدين أبو سالم محمد ابنو طلحة ابنو محمد ابنو حسن القرشي العدوية النصيبي الشافعي وورد سنة اثنتين وثمانين وخمسة ومائة وبرع في المدهر واصوله وشاركة في فنون ولكنه دخل فيه هذا يعني علم الحروف وتزهد وقد ترسل عن الملوق وولية وزارة دميشق يوم اذن وتركها وكان ذا جلالة وكان ذا جلالة and i i think وحشما or وحشما i forgot i remember it but i don't have it written my my bad but in English it says the علامة محمد ابنو طلحة الشافعي he excelled in the creed and its أصول and participated in different science but he entered in the delirious science of the letters he became a ظاهد meaning he led an aesthetic life an aesthetic life he acted with the rulers in their governments and was given governance of Damascus Dimash for two days which then he left he was honorable and modest and this is his testimony other of these names and yes some of these names maybe some staunch مخالفين today say no these people are not all i know is that they're sorry they're not they're not maybe because you have a different understanding of the sunni you have today maybe you're too much of you is made of and you haven't looked at your predecessors from the scholars for example but there are people that say this the fact is there is an argument that there are people that say he was born الكندي الشافعي died 658 after هجرة they deemed him he also says that there is an existence of المهدي from the sons of حسن العسكري though this person as well he they claimed that he is not sunni because he wrote books in فضائل of ال البيت the fact is this man was killed in the umayid mosque because of a book that he wrote with the مناقف علي ابن ابيطان and there are many many more of these evidences concerning or i think we have i mean i have this book here زام الناصب and مزام الناصب i believe then there's around 35 40 that just this author here narrates but i'm pretty sure there is more if one wishes to go and research the fact is we want to conclude with the even stronger evidence concerning المهدي which is this my dear brothers and sisters two points we want to conclude all of the حادث and now we're reaching the 40 minute mark inshallah soon so i will try to end this around 42 45 and that's it all of the narrations concerning المهدي they have been narrated as متواتر as مستفيد استفاضة they have been narrated in the books of the muslim concerning يخرج في آخر الزمان يظهر في آخر الزمان صلى علام محمد وعلي محمد excuse me you're talking you talk for so much and you forget to even breathe الله علام محمد وعلي محمد الله صلى الله عليه وسلم coffee is better than water the حادث all speak to us that the imam will appear the imam will rise all of these indicates for the arabic speaker that the prophet is talking about an individual who is born not a person that will be born you will not find and this is a question that i asked my dear is there or will you are you able to find a حادث about the imam صاحب العصري والزمان المهدي in your books either fabricated or weak that tell us or inform us that say you let في آخر الزمان he will be born in the final the end of times no my dear bells and sisters the fact is there is no narrations either fabrication or weak that say the imam will be born which is something for you to think about why is there no narrations like this why are all the narrations talking about his rise or he will rise in the final and the end of times this is that this is a very important question to ask yourselves my dear bells and sisters no matter where you are no matter where you are watching this or if you speak to brothers from اهد الخلاف you tell them this تعقيدة بالمهدي دائم without تعقيدة بالمهدي without the bayah allegiance to the imam of your time means dying a death of ignorance من ما تبني يعرف إمام الزمانه ما تهمية جاهدية ما دي بلدن سيستر why is it that you have an issue with the long life of المهدي when you see the unseen you believe in the angels you believe in satan's life so somebody like satan who has been living all these years has a prolonged life but المهدي who's from the prophet's family you have doubt in why is it that your حاديث narrates narrations in the جال there are honestly like fairy tales there are honestly like fairy tales that the جال has been born since the time of the prophet for a thousand years and he has miracles and can do things he can tell the sky to to bring down water and the sky brings down water and begins to rain he can tell the earth to begin to nourish and grow and then the earth begins to my dear brothers and sisters the عقيدة المهدي is important you believe in the جال but you can't believe it that the مهدي has a prolonged life this brings us to the end of our discussion as we have only five minutes left inshallah الامت من بعدي اثنان عشر the imams after me are 12 the حديثة اثقلين the قرآن and the اهل البيت لم يفترقى حتى يرد علي الحال the قرآن and the اهل البيت will not separate until they meet me at the pond of kawthar من ما تولم يعرف امامة زماني امامة تميتة جاهلية whoever died without knowing the imam of their time has died a death of ignorance and the narrations that we have تخذو الارض من حجة the earth is not void of حجة and i conclude with some of the علماء of the مخالفين who have testified in this same belief that we carry اشيعة go to كتاب الكافي your finest belief ان شرح صحيح البخاري فتح الباري ابنو حجر الاسقلاني comment on حديث 3 2 6 5 where abu haraira says قال رسول الله كيف انتم ادنزل ابنو مريم and so on and so forth how are you the son of Mary descends and then a man will lead him in prayer and so on and so on منكم تابعه he says في صلاة عيسا خلف رجل من هذه الأمة مع كونه في آخر الزمان this is evidence that this evidence right here that with the fact that عيسا is praying behind a man from this nation is evidence to the authentic sayings that say that the earth is not void of an individual who was قائم بالله قائم لله بحجة one who was out there who was guided by Allah as a حجة الله سبحانه وتعالى so it's not just us that we share this حديث in our books when it comes to لا تخلو الأرض من الحجة which is and also an ابنو ميطيمين مجمع الفتاة وويوم 25 page 12 also state this and there's are many many other evidences we have approximately two minutes
