My eyes tear up at this kalaam... O Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى)... Please reveal Imam Mahdi (عليه السلام) soon and make us amongst his supporters...

As-Salaamun Alaykum, to the Muslims, And may Allah Guide you, non-Muslims It is our duty as Lovers of the Ahl ul-Bayt (Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad) to endeavour for nearness to the Masoomeen (Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad). Therefore, I would like to request you, Brothers and Sisters, to contribute to an effort which I would like to help with. If possible, I would like for us all to know what we must do, where we must go, how we must do things etcetera, etcetera, in preparation for the reappearance of Imam al-Hujjat min Aal-e-Muhammad (Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad). I have found the following hadith upon http://www.al-islam.org/an-overview-of-mahdi-s-government-najimuddin-tabasi/soldiers-imam-al-mahdi#f_f31398d0_19 (Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad) in the 'Iranians' section. 'Asbagh ibn Nabatah said that the Commander of the Faithful [Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad] delivered a sermon in which he mentioned Hadrat al-Mahdi (‘atfs) [Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad] and his supporters who will accompany him in the uprising, saying: “One is from Ahwaz; one from Shushtar; three are from Shiraz whose names are Hafs, Ya‘qub and ‘Ali; four are from Isfahan whose names are Musa, ‘Ali, ‘Abdullah, and Ghalfan; one from Burujerd named Qadim; one is from Nahavand named ‘Abdur-Razzaq; three are from Hamedan whose names are Ja‘far, Ishaq and Musa; ten are from Qum whose names are that of the Ahl al-Bayt of the Messenger of Allah (and in another hadith eighteen have been mentioned); one from Shirvan’; and one is from Khurasan named Darid. There are also five whose names are that of the Companions of the Cave; one from Amul; one from Gorgan; one from Damghan; one from Sarakhs; one from Saveh; twenty four from Taleqan; two from Qazvin; one from Fars; one from Abhar; one from Ardebil; three from Maragheh; one from Khuy; one from Salmas; three from Abadan; and one from Kazerun.” Then, the Commander of the Faithful said: “The Noble Prophet (S) [Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad] mentioned to me three hundred and thirteen persons of the supporters of al-Mahdi (‘atfs) [Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad] equal to the number of the supporters in (the Battle of) Badr, and he said: ‘God will bring them from both the east and the west to the precinct of the Ka‘bah’ faster than the blink of an eye.”' (Ibn Tawus, Malahim, Page 146) After this it is written 'If we also take into account what has been narrated in Dala’il al-Imamah of Tabari [cited as being upon page three hundred and sixteen (of the latter book, if it is confusing)] and the names of cities that were in Iran at that time, the number of Iranians will become more than this.' To begin this discussion, I would like to request anyone who possesses Dala'il al-Imamah of Tabari to search for this hadith, and, those unto whom other books are accessible, to search for other ahadith concerning the other specifications of the great soldiers of Imam Hujjat min Aal-e-Muhammad (Allahuma Salli Alayh Muhammadin wa Aal-e-Muhammad). If possible, it would be great if someone could find ahadith upon those acts which are recommended that one perform in preparation for Zahoor. Insha Allah, this shall help all to prepare for Zahoor. Thank you, and may Allah guide you, non-Muslims, Shukran, Wa Alaykum.
