Ijaabat (Fulfillment) of our prayers through the blessings of Imam Mahdi

 

Among the evidences that especially prove the fact that the existence of Imam (a) is the medium and cause of the prayers of the people is a traditional report that Saffar has quoted in his book, Basairud Darajaat through his chains of reporters from Imam Abu Jafar Baqir (a) that he said:

 The Messenger of Allah (s) said to Amirul Momineen (a): Write down whatever I dictate.

Ali (a) asked, O Allahs Messenger, do you fear that I will forget?He replied, I dont worry about your forgetfulness. I have prayed to Allah to protect you and not to forget you. But write it down for your partners. Ali (a) asked: Who are my partners?
He replied, Imams from your progeny due to whom the Almighty Allah sends down rain on my Ummah, for the sake of whom He fulfills their prayers, and due to whom He removes calamities from them and due to whom mercy descends from the heavens. He is the first of the indicating towards Imam Hasan  then he pointed towards Imam Husain (a) and said:
The Imams shall be from your progeny. I say: This tradition, with attention to all its points clearly proves what we have stated .
