T H find that if they had actually believed that he is the same Abdullah of Hijaaz from Hadith, they would have accepted a Yamani (a.s) to be here today, which they do not. Hence they reject this Hadith as well by effect of their deeds, May Allah (swt) bring them to the Sirat Al Mustaqeem. C) Those who reject Sayyid Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s) believe that the concept of the 12 Mahdis (a.s) was faked by many people in different days and ages in the past, all saying the same false statement of 12 Mahdis (a.s) by some strange coincidence. Now be careful with this point, because it is possible for someone to believe in the concept of the 12 Mahdis (a.s) yet reject Sayyid Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s), but there are many who do both, when in actuality, by effect, you can not do one without the other, though you can with your claim. Those who reject the concept of the 12 Mahdis (a.s) have a separate belief on this issue from: Scholar Ibn e Tawoos Scholar Al Korani And more scholars who have accepted this concept of the 12 Mahdis (a.s) after the 12 Imams (a.s). In no way whatsoever do I say that since the scholars have backed the claim of the 12 Mahdis (a.s), I also back the claim. I back it because of the Ahadith, and I am just pointing an interesting point out, May Allah Bless the reader. D) Many of those who reject Sayyid Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s) believe in the concept of following scholars who narrate Fatwas, blindly accepting and following the Fatwas and yet those who issue Fatwas differ in belief of issues and Fatwas. The Taqlid followers believe that on a particular issue, one scholar could confirm what is permissibility of a certain action, while another scholar could deny the permissibility of a certain action, and that it is fine to do either, depending on which scholar you are following. But that goes against the Blessing of common sense, as if this was the case then would it not be easier to just do or not do that certain act? I am not saying it is, I am saying that either way, a portion of Muslims do it and a portion of Muslims do not do it, and apparently both portions are correct, because there are fallible people who will be judged on the Day of Judgement who have deemed the certain action appropriate or inappropriate. Allahu Alam. The Taqlid followers then back this belief up with this Hadith: In Kamaluddin wa Tamamul-Ni’mah, volume 2, pg. 844 narrates Imam Mahdi (aj) saying: !"#$ %&'() (*+,($‫“و ا:( ا192ادث ا12ا635 )(ر432ا )+&( ا1! رواة ا‬ ”;‫>=+<% و ا'( $#5 ا‬ "As for incidents that take place, refer to the narrators of our hadiths regarding them, for they 30 E S T R A I G H T P (narrators) are my hujjah (proof) over you and I am Allah's (swt) Hujjah". When it is clear that the scholars of today do not narrate Ahadith, they narrate Fatwas. The ruling is not proved from Hadith to us, why is it then that they are the Hujjah of Imam Mahdi (a.s) when they do not narrate the Ahadith, but issue Fatwas expecting us to believe in what they say without the words of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s)? The narrators of Ahadith are Sheikh Sudooq, Sheikh Kulayni, Sheikh Toosi and the other narrators. These are the Hujjah of Imam Mahdi (a.s). Let us not reject the Will of the Prophet (s.a.w) recorded by Sheikh Toosi. Those who follow Taqlid also reject this Hadith: Imam Al-Saadiq (a.s) says: "Be Aware of Taqleed (imitating scholars) for whoever imitates someone in his religion has perished for Allah says in the Quran, 'They took their Rabbis and monks as Lords without Allah', By Allah they haven't prayed for them neither did they fast for them, but they made halal what is haram and made haram for what is halal, so they copied them in this manner, and so they worshipped them without even realizing. “ Sheikh Al-Kulayni Kafi v.1 p.53 So Allahu Alam on whether they hear what the scholars say about the Ahlul Bayt (a.s) or what the Ahlul Bayt (a.s) say about the End Time scholars. E) Those who reject Sayyid Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s), all of them do not believe that the Prophets and the Imams (a.s), when they come in the form of visions to the believers are actually true, but they believe them to be forms of the devil. This is true in effect and by deed, because they have denied the Imams (a.s) who have ar
