Baqarah verse 3
Translation:
(Exactly) those who have faith in the invisible (the truths which are covered and hidden from senses) and do pray and give the blessings which we provided for them, in charity.
Sura Baqare, verse 3
This verse has been descended to prophet (PH) in Medina. Tabarsi in first volume of Tafsir majma-ol-bayan narrated from Imam Reza (AS) that: ((الايمان هو التّصديق بالقلب و الاقرار باللّسان و العمل بالاركان ايمان Faith is a combination of three things: first, affirming with heart, second confessing with tongue (in speech) and third acting with body.
So anyone have problem in believe by heart is hypocrite, anyone have problem in confessing by tongue (in speech) is infidel and anyone have problem in acting is lewd. Different aspects is said for instances of Gheyb (the invisible) in this verse.
Hoseyni sha’h_abd-ol-azimi narrates 10 instances from great scholars in Tafsir athna’ ashari; including from Kamal-ol-din by Sheykh sadough that the meaning of Gheyb (the invisible) in this verse is holy Imam Zaman (AJ) who is hidden and covered from eyes. He narrates from Imam Sadeq (AS) that the meaning are the ones who become faithful to the revolution of our Qaem (Imam Zaman (AJ)) who is right.
In another Hadith from Imam (AS) about this verse, Hoseyni has written that متقین (virtuous people) are Shias of Imam Ali (AS), the meaning of Gheyb (the invisible) is hidden Imam Zaman (AJ), and its proof is the this holy verse:
فَقُلْ إِنَّمَا الْغَيْبُ لِلَّهِ. (So tell verily the Gheyb (the invisible) is for Allah).
Thaqafi tehra’ni I n Tafsir rava’n ja’vid narrated from ja’ber-ibn-e-abd-o-llah ansa’ri who has narrated from prophet (PH) about a hadith which the names of twelve Imams (AS) has been mentioned in it and the last of them is Qaem (Imam Zaman (AJ)) that he stated: ((good for the ones who do tolerate in his occultation and hang on in having affection to him. Those are the ones who God has described them in his book as the ones who become faithful to the Gheyb (the invisible), they are the party of God and they would be successful.

Verse:
الَّذينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ يُقيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ
Sura Al-e-emran, verse 61

Sura Baqare, verse 3
Seyyed abd-ol-hoseyn tayeb in Atyab-ol-tebya’n narrated from Al-borha’n by Ibn-e-ba’booye that in a hadith which Ja’ber has narrated from prophet (PH), after mentioning 12 Imams (AS) until Mahdi (AJ) he stated:
)) طوبي للصابرين في غيبته طوبي للمقيمين علي محبّته اولئك من وصفهم اللّه في كتابه فقال «الّذين يؤمنون بالغيب ((
Good for the ones who do tolerate at the era of occultation of Mahdi (AJ), Good for the ones who stand out on having affection to him, they are the ones who God has described them in Quran and has stated: the ones who become faithful in Gheyb (the invisible). The things other than them is mentioning examples and is not in disagreement with publicity; the reason of specifying may be:
- The whole faith of believers at the occultation era is believing in Gheyb (the invisible); because they do not understand the prophet (PH) and Imams (AS) era and also their Imam (AS) is hidden and inconspicuous.
- Since Imam (AS)’s occultation, his life longitude and his being among people is unwonted having faith in him is of most powerful levels of faith.
- As confessing to Mahdi (AJ) and his occultation is one right beliefs (a religious expression) meaning that the one who confesses to him is confessor and believer of all right beliefs; so they specified it.
It may also has some other reasons.

Verily the people of Imam Zaman (AJ)’s occultation era who believe in his Imamate (guardianship) and are waiting for his coming, are the best people of any age since almighty God has bestowed wisdom, recognition and insight to the extent that occultation is the same as presence and seeing him to them and they, in this time, represent Moja’heds (soldiers of holy war) who fight with swords in front of prophet (PH). They are pure servants of God,, our real Shias and inviters to God’s religion, stealthy and obviously.
