(Al Mutashabihaat, p. 175) Question 105: The Sunnah (traditions) of Imam Mahdi (a.s) is the Sunnah of the Prophets and Messengers, so has Imam Mahdi (a.s) or his Messenger performed or commanded certain things that are seemingly forbidden – as in Surat Al-Kahaf (Cave) – to some of his companions or some of the people, and how does he know that the command is internal or part of the Shari’a}? Answer: Indeed Imam Mahdi (a.s) has made many commands which are different to the Shari’a that some people believe in and from them are some of his companions, just like inside some of the narrations from Ahlulbayt (a.s) that he will administer with an administration from some of the previous Prophets (a.s) which some of his supporters will oppose([1]). And he knows that the commands are part of the Shari’a and that they are correct; because from those that practice it is Imam Mahdi (a.s), and if the commands were suspicious to the people, then they can return it to the Guide of the confused and He is the Compeller of the Heavens and the Earth – Allah the Glorified and Al-mighty, so that He can show him through the visions or through any way between him and between Allah the Glorified and Al-mighty. [1] From Abi Baseer, from Abi Ja’far (a.s), he said: (“The Qa’im will execute with such an execution that some of his companions will disbelieve in it from those who fought him before with the sword and it is the execution of Adam (a.s), so he will present to them then he will strike their necks then he will execute the second execution and another folk will disbelieve in it from those who fought him before with the sword and it is the execution of Dawood (David (a.s)), so he will present to them then he will strike their necks then he will execute the third execution and another folk will disbelieve in it from those who fought him before with the sword and it is the execution of Ibrahim (a.s), so he will present to them then he will strike their necks then he will execute the fourth execution and another folk will disbelieve in it from those who fought him before with the sword and it is the execution of Muhammad (pbuhaf), then no one will oppose it in him.”) Bihar Al-Anwar: volume 52, page 389.
