TRADITIONS

Post by aknak »

Ya ali madad, I had read once about nabi mohammed saying that a madhi will appear from his nas...It was a well known tradition amongs the muslim and accepted generally,that a fatimid will come at a time when thing have gotten out of hand. most of the fames sunni scholars fail to mention this tradition. Is there any new reserch work on this matter as people knew what he will look like and his time of imamat and his name ;anyone out there has some light to shade on this issue,pls enlighten....!

lo.... with such a wide and enhanceing readership, no responce...! I can agree that it sounds a little trifle to be discussing this particular hadith at this advanced times.....why would the schollars mention it...why would annimosity build within the umaah..why would rulers of countries go to such lenths to try to elimenate the nas of Ali.....why would generation after generation remind us of the fact...... why would the pirs talk about it...and write such lenthy ginans. I am asking if we have any practising interllectuals(going to pray at a prayer house following the rituals) out there who feel the need to expand and broaden the horizon,the feeling should be there as the times are not far, 2 or 3 genarations from now will be abuzz, after all we are trying to enhance our knowledge and the truth be known
