TRADITIONS





Tradition
Holy Prophet (S) [Divine Supreme Covenant Body], Happiness is for the one who will attend the Qaim of my Ahlul Bayt and will follow him before his rise. This person will love his (Qaim's) lovers and hate his enemies, and will accept the leadership of the Imams from before his advent. These ones are my friends, and are the most sincere members of my Ummah whom I honour very much
Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 52, p. 129

Tradition
Imam Jafar Sadiq (A) [Divine Supreme Covenant Body], If Imam Husain's (A) [Divine Supreme Covenant Body] visitor falls sick, the angels visit him every morning and evening.

These angels are awaiting the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (A) [Divine Supreme Covenant Body].

Tradition
Imam Jafar Sadiq (A) [Divine Supreme Covenant Body], When the visitor decides to return home from the shrine, an Angel near him declares - I have got a message for you from Allah.

Imam Sadiq (A) [Divine Supreme Covenant Body], One who satisfies the thirst of a person at a place where water is available; it is as if he has freed a slave.
