Question 318

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, the Imams and the Mahdis, and grant them abundant peace. Peace be upon Imam al-Mahdi, his pure forefathers, and his Mahdi descendants. Peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you. Praise and thanks be to Allah, who bestowed upon me and made me able to communicate with the Yamani of the family of Muhammad (a)-may Allah establish him upon the earth. My master and guardian Imam Ahmed Alhasan, peace of Allah be upon you. I have some questions: Q: What are the physical characteristics of al-Khidr (a)? Was the righteous servant who accompanied Allah’s Prophet Moses (a) al-Khidr (a), or was he another person? Q: I-and I seek refuge in Allah from the ego-saw in a dream two or three years ago a person whom I do not know to have been al-Khidr or someone else. His characteristics were: medium height, long hair, a white complexion, and a young man in the prime of life. He took me from the seashore to a place whose location I did not know and told me to enter. When I entered, I found it was a mourning gathering for al-Husayn (a), and the person reciting in the gathering was a turbaned sayyid wearing a black turban. The vision ended. I ask you to interpret it. The turbaned man reciting in the gathering is an imam at one of the mosques. I asked him about the Imams after Imam al-Mahdi (a), but he did not answer my question and told me not to concern myself with it. Based on his response, I did not go to pray behind him again. Q: The Commander of the Believers Ali ibn Abi Talib (a) addressed the people and said to them: ‘Ask me before you lose me. Ask me about the paths of heaven, for I know them better than the paths of earth. Ask me about the treasures of knowledge and the springs of learning …’ What are the paths of heaven, and how can we reach them? I ask you, my master, to advise me regarding what will set me and my religion right in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, send prayers upon Fatimah, her father, her husband, her sons, and the secret entrusted within her. Sender: Abu Ali
