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

Hadis-e-Qudsi
Like the verses of Holy Qur'an, Hadis-e-Qudsi is also the divine word. However, there are a few factors that separate the two:
1. The Holy Qur'an was revealed as a miracle, while Hadis-e-Qudsi was not.
2. The words and concepts in the Holy Qur'an are that of Allah, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) merely conveyed the same to the nation with care and precision. While in Hadis-e-Qudsi, the concept is that of Allah; however, the words and expressions belong to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.).
3. In namaz, during Qirat, only the chapters from the Holy Qur'an can be recited.
(Derayatul Hadis, Kazim Mudir Shaanechi, p. 13)
Hadis-e-Qudsi is the divine word. Shias and Sunnis have written entire books on Hadis-e-Qudsi, focusing only on divine concepts delivered in prophetic speech. Two books that deserve a mention in this regard are that of Shaikhul Muhaddesseen, Muhammad b. Hasan Ali Husain Al Hurre Aameli (the author of Waasaelush Shia) who has written Al-Jawaherus Saniyya fil Ahaadisil Qudsiyya and Sayed Hasan Shirazi who has compiled Kalimatullah.

The importance of belief in Mahdaviyyat Apart from the Qur'an and traditions, Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) has been elaborately mentioned in Hadis-e-Qudsi as well. The previous divine books like the Torah, Zaboor and other scriptures have mentioned that the earth will never be devoid of a divine proof. The past prophets had clearly indicated that the series of divine succession and guidance would continue till the Day of Judgment.

Hazrat Adam (a.s.)
Hazrat Adam (a.s.) was the first prophet on this earth. When he reached the final stages of his life, Allah sent a revelation to him:

'O Adam, I have completed your term. Whatever knowledge you have like faith, the Great Name and other signs of prophethood, bequeath them to your progeny through Hebatullah (Janabe Sheeth, son of Adam) because I will not suspend this link from your offspring and shall continue it till the Day of Judgment. I shall never leave the earth without a prophet, i.e. a scholar, through whom My Religion will be recognized and the importance of my obedience will be known. "
(Al-Jawaherus Saniyya, pp. 10-11 and 14)
