Shia scholars have provided many reasons to prove the existence and Imamate of that Prophet. One of these reasons is to argue with the narrations related to his absence. In this article, after proving the frequency of hadiths about the disappearance of Imam al-Zaman, peace be upon him, a number of these hadiths have been mentioned. Then, by using the method of narration and analysis, the validity of the document of narrations and how they indicate the existence of Imam Zaman (peace be upon him) and his Imamate are explained and then the doubts raised in this regard are answered.
