The news of the
birth of Imam Mahdi
The holy
Prophet Muhammad and the Imams have informed us about the birth of a child from
Imam Hassan Askari that will be out of sight after his birth. The statistics of
collected sayings in the book of "Kamal al-Din" in this regard is as
follows: 45 Hadiths from the Holy
Messenger, 4 hadiths from Lady Zahra , 2 hadiths from Imam Hassan, 5 hadiths from Imam Hussein, 9 hadiths from Imam Sajjad, 17 hadiths from Imam Baqir, 57 hadiths by Imam Sadiq. Total
narrations in “al-Kafi, Al-Ghayba, Kamal al-Din,…” books are more than thousand
hadiths.
Blameworthy
Opponents:
1- The first
person who denied the birth of Imam Mahdi due to his ignorance of his birth
was "Jafar" (Imam Mahdi’s
uncle). He strongly prevented the circulation of his birth news!!
2- Muhammad
Isaf Nashashibi says: “Imam Askari didn’t have any son or daughter.”
According to
several sources of Shiites and Sunnis about his birth, not only are these words
not accurate historically but also are they originating from bias.
