The eleventh Imam of the Shi'i Hasan Askari had no child, But this was not accepted by shi'i that almost worship Imams, They made a story that Immam Hasan Askari had a slave Narjis Khatun and without sign of pregnancy a son was born then suddenly He become a youth then He ran and hide in a well nearby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is alive for so many centuries and when the world become full of oppression He comes out with his sword and horse defeats' non Moslem ( also Sunnis) and there will be justice in the world and the world ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Justice is good if it happens in the world but do not ask me what is the use of Justice at the end of the world.

People who made such a stories did not think that Imams or Prophets do not ran away and hide in a well. specially when the one that supposedly defeats the whole world with his sword. Otherwise Immam Hussein and Imam Ali would also rather hide in a well.

Supposedly an Arab man now comes out of well with a sword, what would it happen? I promise you they consider him  psychological patience even in Iran.

The Sign's of an Authentic Hadith.            Qur'anic Prophecies

In these days there are over 20,000 computer viruses, Similarly in the older time there  were people who used to fabricate Hadith Sometimes to make a tribe more important or a place to a holy place, to keep a hope for Shiat sect of Islam and so on.

You may also have heard of the Rabbi by the name of  Ebn'e Aboul Oja who became a Moslem and ultimately became one of Ulama of Islam. After 40 years when he was on his death bed he confessed that during those years he fabricated over 40,000 Hadith.

Baha'is in Iran used to refer to Hadith from Imam Jaffar Sadegh available to published book.

The opposition, then discontinued publishing those Ahadeeth that the Baha'is used to refer to.

This is the reason why we emphasize more on Qur'anic Prophecies.

The signs of Authentic Hadith are as follows

1- There must be a verse in the Qur'an related to it.

2-Those Hadith that are common to both Shiite and Sunni are more reliable.

3-One of the later Imams confirm it.

4-It must make sense.

You can see that none of the above conditions apply to the Hadith that Imam Hasan Asgari had a son who, immediately after birth become 20 years old and hid in a well !  .....

This Hadith was made to give a small Shiite group a short term hope by their leaders.

The idea of  waiting another 1000 years was unbearable to them.

Shi'as develop a culture of mourning and depression after the martyrdom of Imam Hussein.

The siyyid Bab and Baha'u'llah both exalt His station. ( Baha'u'llah has revealed a Tablet in honor of Imam Hussein which is read by pilgrims.) 

This depression and culture of mourning was increased after Imam Hasan Asgari passed away. The belief that developed was that all the problems and suffering of Shi'as are because governments are in the hands of oppressors and they must suffer out until the time that Government returns to the rightful successors of Prophet Mohammed.

The Iranian revolution in 1979 AD was a turning point in this regard. At last the most important wish of Shi'as was fulfilled after about 1300 years. But the culture did not changed!

Foreign countries, minorities, and Governments always have been blamed for any short comings. It is understandable that foreign countries first consider their own interest and it is first our own fault if we let them to colonize our nation.

But why the minorities especially defenceless Baha'is that Iran is their Holy land and birth place of their religion?

Here there is a collection of Hadith that are common between Shi'as and Sunnis.

The Imam who will create a world state will make the ruling nations pay for their crimes against society. He will bring succor to humanity. He will take out the hidden wealth from the breast of the earth and will distribute it equitably amongst the needy deserving. He will teach you simple living and high thinking. He will make you understand that virtue is a state of character which is always a mean between the two extremes, and which is based upon equity and justice. He will revive the teaching of the Holy Qur'an and the traditions of the Holy Prophet after the world has ignored them as dead letters....

He will protect and defend himself with resources of science and supreme knowledge. His control over these resources will be complete. He will know how supreme they are and how carefully they will have to be used. His mind will be free from desires of bringing harm and injury to humanity. Such a knowledge to him will be like the property which was wrongly possessed by others and for which he was waiting for the permission to repossess and use.

He, in the beginning, will be like a poor stranger unknown and uncared for, and Islam then will be in the hopeless and helpless plight of an exhausted camel who has laid down its head and is wagging its tail. With such a start he will establish an empire of God in this world. He will be the final demonstration and proof of God's merciful wish to acquaint man with the right ways of life.

The Prophet (PBUH and HF) said: "al-Mahdi is one of us, the members of the household (Ahlul-Bayt)."

Reference: Sunan Ibn Majah, v2, Tradition #4085

 3) The Prophet (PBUH and HF) said: The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatimah (the daughter of the Prophet ( PBUH ).

 References: Sunan Abu Dawud, English version, Ch. 36, Tradition #4271 (narrated by Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet)

Sunan Ibn Majah, v2, Tradition #4086

Hadhrat Ali (R.A.) narrates that prophet Muhammad said, "Even if only a day remains for Qiyamah ( Day of Judgement) to come, yet Allah will surely send a man from my family who will fill this world with such justice and fairness, just as it initially was filled with oppression." (Abu Dawood)

Hadhrat Buraidah (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Prophet Muhammad) said: "There will be many armies after me. You must join that army which will come from Khurasaan (Iran)." (Ibn Adi)

Abu Hurairah (R.A.) says that Rasulullah (Prophet Muhammad) said: "(Armies carrying) black flags will come from Khurasaan ( Iran). No power will be able to stop them and they will finally reach Eela (Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem) where they will erect their flags." Babulbab ( Molla Hussein Boshroeeie ) and some other followers of Bab Rose The Black Flag in Shrine of Shaigh Tabarsi,( Khurrasan  Iran ) and resist Attacks of Persian Government for nearly one year.

4) The Prophet (PBUH and HF) said: "We (I and my family) are members of a household that Allah (SWT) has chosen for them the life of the Hereafter over the life of this world; and the members of my household (Ahlul-Bayt) shall suffer a great affliction and they shall be forcefully expelled from their homes after my death; then there will come people from the East (see above hadeeths that say this army will come from Khorasan modern day Iran) carrying black flags,

And they will ask for some good to be given to them, but they shall be refused service; as such, they will wage war and emerge victorious, and will be offered that which they desired in the first place, but they will refuse to accept it till they pass it to a man from my family (Ahlul-Bayt) appears to fill the Earth with justice as it has been filled with corruption.

So whoever reaches that (time) ought to come to them even if crawling on the ice/snow since among them is the Vice-regent of Allah (Khalifatullah) al-Mahdi."

After successive exiles from Baghdad to Constantinople, and from there to Adrianople, Baha'u'llah was finally banished to Akka, in the Holy Land.

It is indeed God's mysterious plan, that of all the countries in the world, it should be the Holy Land where Baha'u'llah should be finally exiled to.

The Holy Land repeatedly promised in the Old and New Testaments as the seat and home of the countries in the world, it should be the Holy Land where Baha'u'llah should be finally exiled to.

The Holy Land repeatedly promised in the Old and New Testament as the seat and home of promised of All Ages.

Furthermore, of all the towns and centers in the Holy Land, it should be to Akka that He should be sent, not of His own free will, not through the request of friends, but by His own enemies, who thought they would, in this way, be exterminating Him and His Faith.

Place Baha'u'llah was in prison in fortress of Akka. They were ignorant of God's mysterious plans, They were in reality being used by Almighty God to bring to fulfillment His promises of old. Some of the traditions regarding Akka, accepted by both Sunnis and Shi'as as true and authenticated sayings of the Holy Prophet of Islam are recorded here:

"Akka is a city in Syria, to which God hath shown His special mercy". (From Abdu'l-Aziz, son of Abdu's-Salam).

"I bring you tidings of a city betwixt two mountains in Syria, in the middle of a meadow which is called Akka. Verily, he that entereth therein, longing for it and eager to visit it, God will forgive his sins, both of the past and of the future. And he that departeth from it other that a pilgrim, God will not bless his departure." (From Ibn-i-Mas'ud) "I announce unto you a city, on the shores of the sea, white, whose whiteness is pleasing unto God --- exalted be He! It is called Akka. He that hath been bitten by one of its fleas is better, in the estimation of God, than he who had received a grievous blow in the path of God." (From Anas, son of Malik). "Blessed is the man that hath visited Akka, and blessed he that hath visited the visitor of Akka."   Muhammad patted on the legs of Salman and said: "He, and his people." And the He continued: "By the True One, in Whose hand is My life, if the Faith of God should be suspended in the Pleiades, surely, men from Persia shall reach it." ( This tradition is accepted by both Sunnis and Shia's and is included bay Nasafi in his book, Vol. IV, p;age 169, as well as by Muhammad Farid Vajdi, in his book, third edition, page 676.) And now to end this study of the truths of the Qur'an, let these holy verses ring in our ears: "O Our people! Obey the Summoner of God and believe in Him, that He may forgive your sins and rescue you from and afflictive punishment. And he who shall not respond to God's Preacher, yet cannot weaken God's power in earth, nor shall he have protectors beside Him. These are in obvious error." (Ahqaf - 46:30-31)
