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.
