Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.)
in Hadis-e-Qudsi

Continued…
There are several traditions of this nature highlighting the same concept. In this regard, the following points are worth enumeration.

1) Before arriving on the earth, the Imams (a.s.) were in the celestial heavens in the form of light.

2) They were busy in worshipping Allah.

3) In the night of Meraj, Allah showed the Imams (a.s.) to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.).

4) From the entire creation, Allah chose the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and Hazrat Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s.) for prophethood and Imamat respectively.

5) Allah loved Prophet Muhammad so much that His Name will never be mentioned in isolation, whenever and wherever His Name will be mentioned; the name of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) will also be mentioned.

6) Allah loved Imam Ali (a.s.) so much that He gave him His own name.

7) The reward for worship will be on the basis of belief in the Imamat and Wilayat of these divine personalities.

8) Whoever will deny their mastership, none of his action will not be accepted by Allah

9) Imam Mahdi's (a.t.f.s.) upright position (Qiyaam) in the state of worship (at the time of Meraj) is symbolic of his universal uprising and revolution.

10) Among the brilliance of all Imams (a.s.), his was the most striking, which means that he had a special status. Perhaps for this reason, whenever Imam Reza (a.s.) heard the title of Al Qaim, while referring to the 12th Imam, he used to rise and place his hand on the head. He did this while he was not even born.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) is the dearest creation of Allah, he is also named Habeeb (the beloved). Allah commands his most beloved servant - O Muhammad! Befriend him and be affectionate towards him because I Myself am fond of him and will love him who will hold him dear.

11) While the Qur'an says:
If you love Allah then emulate me, Allah will love you and hold you dear
(Surah Aale lmran, Verse 31)
If the people will follow the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) then Allah will love them and forgive their sins. If the Holy Prophet(s.a.w.a.) loves Hazrat Wali-e-Asr (a.t.f.s.)
