This text continues the collection of reports on Imam al-Mahdi (‘a), turning to the trials of the Shi’a during the occultation and the clear guidance given to uphold faith in this period. It explains the value of waiting for the reappearance, the best deeds of this age, and the firm conduct expected from the believers.
It warns against false claimants who misuse the Imam’s name and documents those verified encounters with him in later generations, including the incidents linked to the Green Island. It sets out the signs of reappearance, describing the conditions of the last days, the rise of the Sufiyani, the account of the Dajjal, and the events that mark the approach of the Qa’im.
It outlines what will occur after the reappearance, the role of his companions, and the features of the promised uprising. It also presents narrations regarding rajah and the successors who will follow his rule.
It presents the epistles attributed to the Imam, along with supplications and ziyarat that guide the community through the final stage of concealment and expectation.
