HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE SINGLE

(HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE SINGLE)
Al-Mas'udi narrates: "When Ali ibn Hazm, Ibn Siraj and Ibn
Abi Said came into the presence of Imam Reza (as) on one
occasion Ali ibn Hazm asked the Imam: ‘O son of the Messenger
of Allah, we have related from you (the imams of the
Ahl al-Bayt) that; EVERY IMAM WILL SEE HIS CHILD
BEFORE HE DIES. (Is this true?)’ The Imam (as) replied:
‘Have you added this to the account? APART FROM THE
QAIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]?’ (Al-Mas’udi, Ithbat al-
Wasiyyah, p. 201)
