Hadith 17

(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ – Ali Bin Abdullah Al Warraq, from Sa’ad, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq who said, ‘I entered to see Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws and I wanted to ask hihm-asws about the replacement (Imam-ajfj) after him-asws. He-asws said to me initiating: ‘O Ahmad Bin Is’haq! Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted did not Leave the earth vacant since He-azwj Created Adam-as, nor will He-azwj be Leaving it vacant up to the Day of Qiyamah, from a Divine Authority of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj creatures. Due to him-ajfj, He-azwj Repels the calamities from people of the earth, and due to him-azwj the rains descend, and due to him-ajfj the Blessings of the earth emerge’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! So, who is the Imam-ajfj and the caliph after you-asws? ’
He-asws got up and entered the room. Then he-asws came out and there was a boy upon his-asws shoulder. It was as if his-ajfj face was the full moon on the night of the full moon, from boys who are three years old. He-asws said: ‘O Ahmad Bin Is’haq! Had it not been your prestige to Allah-azwj and to His-azwj Divine Authority, I-asws would not have displayed this son-ajfj of mine-asws to you. Rasool-Allah-saww had named him-ajfj and teknonymed him-ajfj. He-ajfj will fill the earth with fairness and justice, just as it would have been filled with tyranny and injustice. O Ahmad Bin Is’haq! His-ajfj example in this community is like an example of Al-Khizr-as, and his-ajfj example is like an example of Zulqarnayn-as. By Allah-azwj! He-ajfj will be disappearing in an occultation. During it, no one would be saved during it except the one whom Allah-azwj Affirms him upon the word of his-ajfj Imamate, and Pauses him for the supplication with hastening of
