Open for them a protected authority and hasten his relief, let him prevail over Yours and Your Prophet's enemies, O' the Most Merciful of the merciful.


1 Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 77; Mustadrak al-Wasaael, vol. 5, p. 96, Jamaal al-Saaleheen
I said to Imam: May my soul be sacrificed for you, isn't you have prayed for yourself? He said: I have prayed to the light of the progeny of Muhammad (peace be on them) who shall retaliate against their enemies with the command of Almighty Allah.
I said: when will he be coming out?
When the owner of creations and command wishes, Imam replied. I said: what are the signs before then? He said: the signs are many and different. I said: like what? Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: A banner shall come out from the east and west, sedition will persist and a man shall come out from Yemen among the descendant of my uncle Zaid, and there shall be plunding of the house properties[1] then Allah will act according to his wishes.[2]
It is in the book ‘Mikyaal ul Makarim’ that this supplication can be recited for the following benefits:
First: It is recommended to pray for his holiness (A.T.F.S.) and to request for hastening his reappearance after the ‘Zuhr’ prayer.
Second: It is recommended to lift hands while praying for his holiness (A.S.).
Third: It is recommended to regard the Holy Progeny (A.S.) as intercessors and to request in their favour before making a wish.
Fourth: It is recommended to praise and glorify Allah (S.W.T.) before beginning a supplication.
Fifth: It is recommended to send ‘Salawaat’ on Mohammad and his Holy Progeny (P.B.U.T.) before demanding a wish.
Sixth: Purifying ones soul from sins through repentance and the likes of it; so that the soul becomes purified and prepared for acceptance. The proof of this word is the request for forgiveness and freedom from hellfire requested by Imam (A.S.).
Seven: In the words of the Infallibles (A.S.) and their supplications, if the word ‘Wali’ is used singly, without any additions, then its implied on our Master, Imam Mahdi (A.S.).
Eighth: It is recommended to supplicate in the favour of the supporters and companions of his holiness (A.S.).
Ninth: Imam witnesses the actions of the followers in every condition, he watches them and their behaviour, towards which the line ‘Your eyes between your slaves’ indicates and implies.
Tenth: One of the nicknames of his holiness (A.S.) is the ‘Light of Mohammad’s Holy Progeny’. Its proof can also be witnessed in the narrations; ‘Muhaqqiq e Noori’ (R.A.) mentions a few of them in his book ‘Najm us Saqib’.
Eleventh: His holiness is superior and greater than all the Imams (A.S.) except Imam Ali (A.S.), Imam Hasan (A.S.) and Imam Husain (A.S.). This point is approved by other narrations as well.
Twelfth: Almighty Allah (S.W.T.) has treasured his holiness and has delayed his advent to avenge his enemies and the enemies of Prophet (P.B.U.H.). There are several narrations regarding this topic.
Thirteenth: The time of his Advent is amongst the concealed issues necessitated by the divine policy. It is also mentioned in several narrations.
Fourteenth: The signs mentioned in the narrations are not certain and indispensable; due to the line mentioned in the end, ‘Allah performs as per His own will’. [3]

and hasten the reappearance of Your retaliator from Your enemies and execute for him all You have promised him, O' the possessor of Magnificence and Honour.



I said to him, whom did you prayed for? He said: to Al-Mahdi of the Prophet's household (peace be on them).
He continued saying: may my father be sacrifice for him, his eyebrow are very close, his legs are very energetic, his shoulder is wide, brown in colour and close to be yellowish, may my father be sacrifice for him, his night shall guard the stars by his bowing down and prostration to Allah, may my father be sacrifice for him, he who the blames of those that blame shall not affect before Allah, he is the luminous lamp, may my father be sacrifice for him, he shall rise with the command of Allah.
I said to him, when will he come out? He said: when you saw armies from the city of Anbar in Iraq at the beach of Furat, sirah and Dajlah, and the arch of Kufah is destroy, and burning of some houses in Kufah, when you see all this, verily Allah will act according to His wish, no one can subdue the commandment of Allah and no one can review His Judgement.[1]
