Sayyid Muhammad Husaini, who was mentioned above, has in the book of Kefaayatul Mohtadi,[1] narrated from the book of Ghaibat of Hasan bin Hamza Alawi Tabari Marashi and it is the thirty-sixth tradition of that book; He said: Narrated to me a righteous person of Shia Imamiyah that he traveled for Hajj one year.
‘The year was one when sickness was rampant and it was very hot too. Soon I lagged behind due to exhaustion while the caravan proceeded on its way, I was extremely thirsty and fell on the hot sand. I felt sure that death would soon overtake me. At this time, the sound of horse’s hooves came to my ears. As I opened my eyes, I set sight upon an extremely handsome youth holding a tumbler of water. He alighted from his horse and gave me water to drink. I thankfully drank the water. It was the coolest and the sweetest water I had ever tasted in my life. I asked him, Who are you, my savior? And why are you so beneficent and merciful towards me?
He said, “I am the proof of Allah upon His creatures and I am the Baqiyatullah upon this earth. I am the one, who would fill the earth with justice and equality just as it would be filled with injustice and inequity. I am the son of Hasan Ibne Ali Ibne Muhammad Ibne Ali Ibne Moosa Ibne Ja’far Ibne Muhammad Ibne Ali Ibne Husain Ibne Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.).”
Then he asked me to close my eyes and I obeyed. After a few moments, he asked me to open my eyes. I found that I was now very close to the same caravan, which had left me behind. By this time, Imam Zamana (a.s.) had disappeared from my eyes.’
We should know that Hasan bin Hamza bin Ali bin Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ali Ibne Husain bin Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) is from the most important jurisprudents of Shia sect and is a scholar of the fourth century.
In Maalimul Ulama,[2] Ibne Shahr Ashob has mentioned all his writings and Shaykh Toosi has said that he was an accomplished scholar and a righteous practicing jurisprudents and he possessed many excellent qualities…till the end.[3]
