Allamah Majlisi has mentioned in his book Aneesul Aabidain from the reliable sources that one morning Sayed Ibne Tawoos heard Imam-e- Zaman (a.s.) reciting the following invocation at the cellar (Sardab).
O Allah! It is certain that our Shias have been created from the rays of our light and our superior teenat (dust). There is no doubt in the fact that some sins are committed by them on the basis of their love for us. Thus, ignore the sins if they are only between you and them. Please improve their conditions and give them In lieu of our Khums and make them enter Paradise and keep them away from fire of Hell and because of their sins do, not consider them at par with Your
enemies.
Even if Imam (a.s.) had not said anything other than these
sentences, it would have sufficed to prove the affection of Imam (a. s.) for his Shias. We should try to learn more about the miracles, life and supplications of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.s.) as recorded by Sayed Ibne Tawoos. To purify oneself in the sea of Marefat, to make each cell of his filled with Hazrat’s love, to make this blood flow in the veins of his son, to train his son to tread the lighted path is the aim of every follower of the awaited personality.
