The lesson
- Shia exegesis reads his rule in the Qur'an: one narration says the righteous servants who inherit the earth (21:105) are al-Mahdi and his companions (Ta'wil al-Ayat al-Zahira); al-Tabrisi, citing Imam al-Sajjad and Imam al-Sadiq, applies God's promise to make the faithful successors in the earth (24:55) to the Ahl al-Bayt after al-Mahdi rises (Majma' al-Bayan); and on There is a guide for every people (13:7), Imam al-Sadiq said that in every age there is an Imam from the Household who guides people to what the Messenger of God brought (Bihar al-Anwar).
- Ziyarat Al Yasin, which reached the Shia in a letter of the Imam to Abu Ja'far al-Himyari in the last years of the Minor Occultation, is the best-known greeting to him; it opens with peace upon the progeny of Yasin, read as the family of the Prophet (al-Ihtijaj of al-Tabrisi; Bihar al-Anwar).
