Criteria for paying allegiance to Imam-e-Asr (a.t.f.s)

 5. They shall never humiliate anyone

6. They shall never attack anyone’s house

7. They shall never hit anyone unjustly.

8. They shall never hoard gold, silver, wheat and jowar

 9. They shall never consume the right of an orphan

10. They shall never bear witness without absolute surety

1. He (a.t.f.s.) will travel with them.

2. Will wear the same clothes as them.

3. Will employ the same mode of  transportation as them.

5. Will be happy and content with little.

 6. With Allah’s Help, they will fill the earth with justice and tranquility just as it would have been filled with injustice and tyranny.

(Ilzaamun Nasib, pg 201, Roozgaarhaai, vol. 1, pg. 465, tradition 564, Muntakhabul Asar, pg 469)

Imam (a.t.f.s.) will take allegiance from his companions on these criteria (mentioned earlier) and once the companions fulfill the criteria, then Imam (a.t.f.s.) will remain with them and spend his life alongside them. This highlights the intense love and affection of Imam (a.t.f.s.) for his companions. ‘May my father, my mother, my family, myself and my wealth be sacrificed upon you, O my Master, O Saahebuz Zamaan!
