Hadith n. 18
Ruling with Justice

 

قَالَ الإِمَامُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ البَاقِرُ : إِذَا قَامَ قَائِمُ أَهْلِ الـْبَيْتِ قَسَمَ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ عَدَلَ فِي الرَّعِـيَّةِ فَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللٌّهَ وَ مَنْ عَصَاهُ فَقَدْ عَصى اللٌّهَ وَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ الْمَهْدِيَّ لأََِنَّهُ يَهْدِي إِلـى أَمْرٍ خَفيٍّ.

 

Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Ali al-Baqir (peace be upon both of them) said: “When the Qa’im of the Ahlul Bayt makes his advent, he will divide (the riches) with equity and will show justice among the people. So whoever obeys him, has obeyed Allah; and whoever goes against him, has gone against Allah. Indeed al-Mahdi was named as such because he will guide to the hidden affairs.”
