🔶 Abu Khalid Kabuli had long been in the service of Muhammad ibn Hanafiyya, and regarded him as the rightful Imam. Until one day he came to him and said: “I have some respects. So I ask you by the honor of the Messenger of God and Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (peace be upon them), if you are the Imam, God has made his obedience obligatory?

◻️ Muhammad ibn Hanafiyya said: “The Imam of you and I, and all Muslims, is Ali ibn Hussain, Sajjad (a).”

🍃 So Abu Khalid came to Imam Sajjad (a), who greeted him saying:

🌸 “O Kankar, well done! You didn’t come to visit us! What has made you come here?”

◻️ Abu Khalid, when heard this, fell prostrate and said: “Praise be to God who does not take my soul until I knew my Imam.”

☀️ Imam Sajjad (a) said: “How did you know your Imam?”

♦️ Abu Khalid said: “You called me by the name that my mother had called. And I was ignorant and served Muhammad b. Hanafiyya, until I asked him today by the honor of the Prophet (a) and Imam Ali (a) if he is the rightful Imam?!

🍃 And he guided me to you and said that you are the Imam, who everyone is obliged to obey; and now that I came to your presence, you called me by my original name. So, I realized that you are the Imam of the Muslims (that is, you are aware of all secrets and the unseen).”

🌸 Abu Khalid continued: “When my mother gave birth to me, she called me “Vardan”. And since my father did not like it, she called me “Kankar”. And by God no one had ever called me by that name. So, I testify that you are Imam of the heavens and the earth.”

🌼 This is a glimpse of the status of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) and one of the peculiarities of the Proof of God and rightful Imam, which indicates that they are aware of the secrets from the past to the future. So they, including Imam Mahdi (a), are leading Imams and treasures of divine knowledge.
