 Evidences" for the existence of Imam Muhammad Bin Hassan Askari
The Twelver- Imam Shiites, who believe in the existence of a concealed son for Imam Hassan Askari, and in the continuation of his life to date, and to the day he will appear in the future, present several evidences on that, which can be divided into different types.
To prove the existence of a son for Imam Hassan Askari, Tusi reported from Imam Ali bin Musa Rida his saying:” The Sahib al--Amr (Imam) will never die till he sees his son after him”, so he nullified by that the statement of those who say.
(32) It was inevitable to establish the death of Imam Askari depending on what is clear and apparent, and denying his Mahdism and occultation, so also the interpretation of the traditions, which claim his coming to life after his death.
