Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) first words
after the birth
Lady Hakimah (Imam Jawad (PBUH)’s
daughter) says: “I was with Imam Hassan Askari (PBUH) on the seventh day after
Imam Mahdi’s (PBUH) birth. He told his son: “Son! Speak.” And he said: “I
testify there is no God but Allah” and he saluted Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and
Imam Ali (PBUH) and the holy Imams till he came to his father’s name. Then he
said:”
“In the name of Allah, Most
Gracious, Most Merciful, And we wished to be Gracious to those who were being
depressed in the land, to make them leaders (in Faith) and make them heirs.”
