Virtues of Imam Zaman in Surah Loqman and Realizing of relationship between Quran and Mahdism

Verse:

وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَ‌ةً وَبَاطِنَةً

Sura Loqman, verse 20

Translation:

And has made his bounties flow to you in exceeding measure, [both] seen and unseen.

Sura Loqman, verse 20

Explanation of the verse:

Sheikh sadough in second volume of Ekmal-o-din according a narration from Imam Kazem (AS) has interpreted the unseen bounties as absent Imam (AS). He has narrated that: exterior endowment is present Imam (AS) and inner bounty is absent Imam (AS). Ali-ibn-e-ibrahim Qomi in second volume of Qomi interpretation has narrated from Imam Baqer (AS): ((seen bounty is Prophet Mohammad (PH) and what he has brought; including cognition of God and monotheism and unseen bounty is Velayat (guardianship) of us, Ahl-e-bayt (family of Prophet Mohammad (PH); including Lady Fateme, Imam Ali (AS) and their children who are Imams (AS) of Shia) and the treaty of our Velayat (guardianship).)) Tabarsi in Majma-ol-bayan fi tafsir-el-Quran has narrated from Imam Baqer (AS): ((the seen endowment are Prophet (Mohammad PH) and divine knowledge which je has brought and the unseen bounty are Velayat (guardianship) of us, Ahl-e-bayt (family of Prophet Mohammad (PH); including Lady Fateme, Imam Ali (AS) and their children who are Imams (AS) of Shia) and the treaty of our cordiality. Albeit, Thaqafi tehrani in fourth volume Ravan javid after narrating this narration, has written some similar narrations which is clear that it was for giving some instances. In these narrations and the like, because the bounties of God, including evident or hidden, are not possible to reckoning so narrated interpretations about this issue from great interpreters, in my opinion, are allocations without individualizers and bounty has been meant with singular voice too. From the other hand, Sheikh tousi in Al-amali and also Majlesi in volume 67 of Behar-ol-anvar have narrated from Ibn-e-abbas that: ((seen bounty is Islam and unseen endowment is covering the sins.)) in volume 24 of Behar-ol-anvar, Majlesi has narrated a narration from Imam Baqer (AS) that: Jaber said: ((a man recited the verse “وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَ‌ةً وَبَاطِنَةً” at Imam Baqer (AS)’s presence. Imam (AS) stated: ((seen bounty is Prophet Mohammad (PH) and what he has brought; including cognition of God and monotheism and unseen bounty is Velayat (guardianship) of us, Ahl-e-bayt (family of Prophet Mohammad (PH); including Lady Fateme, Imam Ali (AS) and their children who are Imams (AS) of Shia) and the promise of our cordiality. Swear to God! A group of people accepted both seen and unseen and a group of people only accepted the seen ones. Because of this, God stated: ((O the sent (person from God)! The ones who hasten in the way of infidelity and (only) say with their tongues: ((we confess to have faith)) and their heart has not confessed to it. (Sura Maede, verse 41)) then Prophet (PH) of God got happy; since God would never accept their faith, unless with Velayat (guardianship) and affection of us.))
