Abul Qa'im Muhammad AJ, al Imam al Hassan ibn Ali AS al Askari al Zaki
1 God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods”: 2 “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?
Ail Muhammad has narrated from certain persons of our people saying as follows. “Abu Muhammad (a.s) was placed under the supervision of a zoo-keeper who would cause constraints suffering to him. He has said that his wife told him, “woe is you, be pious before Allah. Do you not know who is in your house?” She then explained to him the good manners of the Imam (a.s) and said, “I am afraid for you from him.” He then said, “I can throw him to the beasts.” He inf act, did so and the Imam (a.s) was seeing standing among them for prayer and the beast circled around him.”
3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
H 205 - Musa bin Muhammad bin Ja’far said: Hakima binte Imam Jawad (a.s) narrated a tradition similar to the above, except with the difference that she said: Abu Muhammad (a.s) said: O Aunt, come on the seventh day. So when it was morning, I came to greet Abu Muhammad (a.s). I raised the curtain to see my lord and master, but was unable to find him. I asked the Imam: My dear, may I be your ransom, where is my master? Imam (a.s) replied: Aunt dear, I have entrusted him to one whom the mother of Musa (a.s) had. On the seventh day, I came to the Imam, greeted him and took a seat. Imam (a.s) said: Bring my son. So they brought my lord and master wrapped in a yellow cloth. Then the Imam did the same with him, which is mentioned in the above report. After that he placed his tongue in the mouth of the child as if feeding milk or honey. After that he said: Speak up, my son. And His Eminence [the twelfth Imam] said: I testify that there is no god, except Allah and then he invoked blessings on Muhammad and the Holy Imams (a.s) one by one till his father. Then he recited the following verse: “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.” (28:5-6)
5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’ 7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”
H 186 - It is narrated from Muhammad bin Yaqub Kulaini directly that Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) said when Imam Mahdi (a.s) was born: “The oppressor presumed that they would kill me and cut off this progeny. So how did they witness the might of Allah?” Then he named him Muammal (the one in whom hopes rest)
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
And Al-Saduq Al-Thiqa Al-Fadl bin Shazan narrated in the book Ithbat Al-Raj’ah, he said:
681- Ahmad ibn Ishaq ibn Abdullah al-Ash’ari, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated to us, saying: I heard Abu Muhammad al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Askari (peace be upon him) saying:
"All praise be to Allah, who has not taken me out of this world until He shows me the back of my successor. He (the successor) is the most similar of people to the Messenger of Allah, both in appearance and character. Allah, blessed and exalted, preserves him during his occultation, then He will manifest him, and he will fill the earth with justice and fairness, just as it was filled with oppression and injustice."
