THE DEPUTIES OF IMAM (may our souls be sacrificed for him)
The special deputies of Imam Mahdi (A.S.) during his short occultation period were four individuals, namely:
- Abu Amr Othman bin Saeed bin Amr Amri Asadi
- His son, Abu Ja’far Mohammad bin Othman bin Saeed Amri
- Abul Qasim Husain bin Rauh bin Abu Bahr Naubakhti
- Abul Hasan Ali bin Mohammad Samari[1]
These great personalities are the special deputies of Imam Mahdi (A.S.) during his short occultation period. All the letters and commands of his holiness (A.S.) used to reach the Shias through them and by their hands. After that period, the long occultation period arrived and no more deputies were allotted.
[1] Ayatullah Sayyid Ahmad Mustanbit (R.A.) says: it is possible that these four personalities held higher virtue, in fact it is not far-fetched that they could be infallibles. Even in the present day, they are a means of connection between Imam and the Shias; just as they held this position during the short occultation period, for about seventy years.
