Mediation of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)

It is mentioned in Kamaluddin [by Shaykh Saduq] that a man from Hamadan said:
I was returning from Hajj, when I was extremely tired after covering some stages, and I went to sleep for some time. When I awoke, I found no trace of the caravan. I sought the mediation of Imam Zamana (a.s.) due to extreme distress. Suddenly I saw a big castle. I went there and the sentry admitted me inside. I saw a master with an effulgent face, like a glowing moon.

His Eminence asked: “Do you know who I am?” “No, by God,” I replied. He (a.s.) said: “I am the Qaim of Aale Muhammad (a.s.), who would reappear in the last period of time and fill up the earth with justice and equity.”

Then he inquired: “Are you not so and so person from Hamadan?” “Yes,” I replied. He asked: “Do you want to return to your hometown.” “Yes,” I said. His Eminence gestured to the servant. He took my hand and gave me a money bag and accompanied me for some steps. I noticed habitation. He asked: “Do you know what place is this?” I replied: “This is like Asadabad of Hamadan.” He said: “This is Asadabad. Go in safety.” I turned to look at him, but did not see him. I entered Asadabad. I counted the money in the bag. There were forty or fifty dinars in that. I went to Hamadan with that money. As long as I had money from that bag, I remained in prosperity and well being.

Incident of Ibne Mahziyar Ahwazi

Ali Ibne Ibrahim bin Mahziyar narrates one year when the Hajj season arrived, I prepared for the journey and set out to Medina. When I reached Medina, I inquired from the people about the descendants of Imam Hasan Askari (a), but could not get any information. I was very much worried and at last set out for Mecca. On the way, one day at Johfa I headed for Ghadeer, which is at a distance of four miles from Johfa. I reached there and prayed in the Masjid and after that I supplicated Almighty Allah very fervently; but the aim was not fulfilled there also. So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
