Friday: Two hadiths on the army of the Imam (mahhr)

The City of Qum and the Helpers of the Imam Imam Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq said: “The city of Qum has been named so because its inhabitants will gather with the Qa’im from Ale Muhammad [lit. one who will rise up from the progeny of Muhammad] and will stand alongside him, will strive to be hold firm to (their belief and assistance) of him and will assist him.” [33] . . Safinatul Bihar, Volume 2, Page 446 Women in the Imam’s Army- Imam Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq said: “There will be thirteen women alongside al-Qa’im [when he makes his advent].” Al-Mufadhal [the narrator of this tradition] asked the Imam: “And what will their role be?” The Imam replied: “They will treat the injured and look after the sick just as the [women did] at the time of the Messenger of Allah [during the battles].” [33] Ithbatul Hudat, Volume 7, Page 150 Perhaps we can't learn a lot in one day but we can learn a little every day
