Abstract:

The term "Mahdi" is a reflection of  "Mahdi idea" found  in the Prophetic traditions. The present article sets out  to answer the following question: "What are the contributions of  the Prophetic traditions in the use of the term “Mahdi” during the presence era of the Imams (as)?" In the Prophetic traditions, the word "Mahdi" was reflected  in two concepts: the "guided one" (literal) and  the "savior" (technical). These two concepts became the origin of  two distinct applications of the term in the time of the Imams. Meanwhile, the literal use was less challenging. It was sometimes mixed with the technical meaning and was referred to the justice diffusing of  the savior mentioned in the traditions. Some of the Prophetic traditions were the basis for the use of  the term “Mahdi” in Shi'ite uprisings. Applying it to Muhammad Ibn al-Hanafiya in the Mukhtar uprising was in the literal meaning and  it evolved  into the technical meaning after Ibn al-Hanafiya's death. In  the uprising of Muhammad  ibn Abdullah al-Hassani, both the claimants and the deniers of his Mahdawi outbreak  relied on the Prophetic traditions. Utilization of the term Mahdi by some caliphs was due to distorting some traditions. The employment of the term Mahdi referring to the Twelfth Imam, in the time of Presence of  the Imams was closely related to the Prophetic traditions, and it became the most stable technical and doctrinal use of the word.
