Allamah Muhammad Taqi Majlisi (1003-1070) (r.a.) was a virtuous and extremely pious scholar. His father Muhammad Baqir Majlisi (r. a.) was one of the greatest scholars among the Shias. He spent his life in collecting and expounding the traditions of the Purified Ahlul Bayt (a.s.). The illustrious son writes about his father thus:
Apart from the Holy Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) the person responsible for helping me to achieve this position is my respected father..."
(Nawaduz Rizwiya Pg.139-446)
Hence Muhammad Taqi Majlisi writes in the 4th Volume of Shar of Man La Yahzarahul Faqih in the biography of the narrator of Sahifa-eKamela Sajjadiya Mutawakkil Bin Umair about the beneficence of Imam-e-Zamana (a.s.).
While explaining his true dreams, he says: "Because I did not wish for anything in the world except the satisfaction of Hazrat Vali Asr (a. t.f.s.) and did not find peace in anything except his remembrance, Hazrat invites me, he answers difficult questions of knowledge, Hazrat ordered me to be steadfast in Namaz-e-Shab, when I requested him to advise me about a book that I can keep reading he indicated for me Sahifa-e-Sajjadiayah and told me that he had left a copy of it for me at such and such place with so and so person, that I should go and collect it, it was a gift from him.
In the dream itself I went to the place indicated by Hazrat to collect the book. Later on, when I woke up, I went in search of the same house. I found it as I had seen it in the dream and was able to receive a copy of the book left by Hazrat to me."
He was always occupied in the remembrance of his master, Hazrat Vali Asr (a.s.). He used to weep incessantly for him and for his love. After the above incident he became closer to Allah through the repetition of the sentences of the duas contained in the book. He always strived to publicize and promote this copy of Sahifa just like the sun shines and illuminates the right way for the travellers. All this was due to the miraculous favours of Hazrat Sahib al-Amr and the blessings of that Sahifa which was gifted to him.
We derive the following lessons from the ardent lovers of Imam-eZamana (a.s.): In the darkness of night, speak about all your secrets and complaints to the Almighty. Recite Namaz-e-Shab. We must also have a high regard for the supplications of ‘Sahifa’ because they are the actual words of Imam Sajjad (a.s.). We must even remain hopeful of the favours of Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.).
