VISITATION TO NAEB KHAAS (SPECIAL DEPUTIES OF IMAM
MAHDI (A)
WHO ARE THE FOUR EMISSARIES?
The Four Emissaries of Imam al-Mahdi ('a) are Abu-'Amr
'Uthman ibn Sa'id al-Asadi, Abu-Ja'far Muhammad ibn
'Uthman, Shaykh Abu'l-Qasim Husayn ibn Rawh al-
Nawbakhti, and the sublime Shaykh Abu'l-Hasan 'Ali ibn
Muhammad al-Samari, may Allah be pleased with them all.
One of the duties of the visitors of the holy shrines in Iraq is
to come to Baghdad, during their stay at al-Kazimiyyah city,
for visiting the Four Emissaries who represented the Awaited
Argument of Allah and the Imam of the Age, peace of Allah
be upon him. Visiting the tombs of these personalities does
not require much effort, because they are all situated in near
places in Baghdad; therefore, they are not far away for the
visitors. However, even if these graves were scattering in
remote places, they would be worthy of being visited by
covering long distances and suffering the troubles of travel,
because great reward and abundant prize are gained from
visiting these graves.
The Four Emissaries excelled all the companions and elite
friends of the Holy Imams ('a) in rank and excellence. They
thus won the Imam's representation, emissary, and
mediation between him and the subjects for seventy years.
They also showed many extraordinary manners and
innumerable miracles. Moreover, some scholars are reported
to have imputed Divinely-granted infallibility (i.e. 'ismah) to
these personalities.
It goes without saying that these personalities are still
mediators between the lmam ('a) and the subjects after their
death; it is therefore necessary to make them the means and
way to convey to the lmam, in a written form, the needs and
ordeals from which his subjects suffer. Details of these
matters have been discussed in relevant topics.
In conclusion, no pen can contain the great merits and
supreme statuses of these personalities. We thus hope that
the previous discussion gives the visitors the desire to visit
their tombs.
