أَلَا إِنَّ خَاتَمَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنَّا الْقَائِمُ الْمَهْدِيُّ.
Know that the seal of the leaders from among us shall be the Qa’im, the Mahdi.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ الظَّاهِرُ عَلَى الدِّينِ.
He shall, most certainly, prevail over (all) religious (methods of life).
أَلَا إِنَّهُ الْمُنْتَقِمُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ.

أَلَا إِنَّهُ فَاتِحُ الْحُصُونِ وَ هَادِمُهَا.
He shall surely be the conqueror of the strongholds and their demolisher.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ قَاتِلُ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ.
He shall be, indeed, the destroyer of every polytheistic group.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ الْمُدْرِكُ بِكُلِّ ثَارٍ لِأَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
He shall be the attainer of vengeance for the blood of all representatives of Allah, the mighty and the majestic.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ النَّاصِرُ لِدِينِ اللَّهِ.
He shall be the supporter of the religion of Allah.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ الْغَرَّافُ مِنْ بَحْرٍ عَمِيقٍ.
He shall bring out (people’s share) from (his) deep ocean (of knowledge and divine resources).
أَلَا إِنَّهُ يَسِمُ كُلِّ ذِي فَضْلٍ بِفَضْلِهِ، وَ كُلِّ ذِي جَهْلٍ بِجَهْلِهِ.
He shall mark each man of distinction by his distinction and every man of ignorance by his ignorance.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ خِيَرَةُ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ مُخْتَارُهُ.
Behold! He is the elite of Allah, and Allah is his chooser.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ وَارِثُ كُلِّ عِلْمٍ، وَ الْمُحِيطُ [بِكُلِّ فَهْمٍ.]■
He shall be the heir of every knowledge, and the one who shall encompass [every perception]■.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ الْمُخْبِرُ عَنْ رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ، وَ الْمُنَبِّهُ بِأَمْرِ إِيمَانِهِ.
He shall advise and inform on behalf of his Lord, the mighty and the majestic, and shall remind about the matters pertaining to His faith.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ الرَّشِيدُ السَّدِيدُ، أَلَا إِنَّهُ الْمُفَوَّضُ إِلَيْهِ.
He shall be the right-minded and unerring, to whom authority shall be vested.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ بَشَّرَ بِهِ مَنْ سَلَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ،
Behold! All former (prophets) have given the glad tidings of him.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ الْبَاقِي حُجَّةً وَ لَا حُجَّةَ بَعْدَهُ،
Know that he shall be the remaining proof (of Allah), after whom there shall be no (new) proof.[1]
وَ لَا حَقَّ إِلَّا مَعَهُ، وَ لَا نُورَ إِلَّا عِنْدَهُ.
There shall be no truth except with him, nor shall there be any light (of guidance) except at his disposal.
أَلَا إِنَّهُ لَا غَالِبَ لَهُ، وَ لَا مَنْصُورَ عَلَيْهِ.
None, indeed, shall overcome him, and none shall be supported against him.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّهُ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ، وَ حَكَمُهُ فِي خَلْقِهِ، وَ أَمِينُهُ فِي سِرِّهِ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِ.
He shall be the authorized representative of Allah on His earth, His judge over His creation, and His trustee in His secrets and in what He made evident.
[1] This phrase implies that there will be no Imam after the twelfth Imam (PBUH). On the other hand, in the well-established belief of al-Raj’a, it is confirmed beyond doubt that the 11 martyred Imams (PBUT) will return after the rule of Imam al-Mahdi (PBUH). However, considering the fact that they are not new Imams or proofs, but the previous proofs who will return after Imam al-Mahdi (PBUH), resolves this apparent conflict.
