“Whoever desires to be among the companions of the Qaem (a.s.), then he should await, act with piety and good ethics while he is in a state of Awaiting. So if he dies and the Qaem rises after him (i.e. his death), his reward will be like the one who has found the time of the Qaem. Then strive and await, congratulations to you, O nation on whom is mercy.”
Behaarul Anwaar, vol. 52, p. 140, narrating from al-Ghaibah of No’mani.
Imam zaman (a.t.f.s.) has expressed his desire in one tauqee’,:
“Then each one of you should act in a way that brings you closer to our love and refrain from all those actions that bring you nearer to our dislike and anger. For surely, our affair (reappearance) will be sudden and unexpected,
when repentance will be of no benefit nor will regret over misdeeds save him from our chastisement.”
O Allah,
Appoint me amongst his helpers, aides, and his protectors, those who hasten to fulfill his commands and obey his orders. Those who defend him and compete with each other to (fulfill) his will ...
Aamin ...
Imam Husayn is always a source of inspiration for anyone who is concerned about justice. Husayn would be chosen over other role models as one who sacrificed the most for dignity and justice.
If Husayn is not revered, it is because he is unknown.
If you know who Husayn was and what he did, it is impossible to take anyone other than him as an exemplar of genuine struggle for establishing justice and dignity.
Who sacrificed for justice and dignity more than Imam Husayn ....
Imam Mahdi's mission to establish justice and equity is deeply connected to Imam Husayn's movement against injustice and humiliation by the oppressors. Before the advent of Imam Mahdi, almost everyone will know who Imam Husayn is and what he stood for;
those who struggle for justice would refer to him as their role model, and those who fight against them would question Imam Husayn and his followers, and finally they would support and show their disgus of what was committed by Yazid and his people and as a result associate themselves with the killing of Imam Husayn and his family members and companions.
Imam Rida also said:
Four thousands angels descended to earth to help him. They found him killed. They will remain there until the coming of Imam Mahdi.
Then they will help him. And their motto is Yaa lathaaraat al-Husayn!"
Imam Sadiq also said:
The supporters of Imam Mahdi wish to be killed in the way of Allah and their motto is 'Ya lithaarat al- Husayn!" Whenever they move fear goes in front of them one month in advance.

Imam Mahdi will stand between Rukn and Maqam next to the Ka'ba clearly making reference to Karbala in the beginning of his movement:
O people of the world, I am the uprising Imam. O people of the world, I am the avenger. O people of the world, my grandfather Husayn was killed while he was thirsty. O people of the world, my grandfather was left without dress. O people of the world, they damaged the body of my grandfather.
Also, Imam Husayn said to Imam Sajjad:
By Allah, my blood will keep boiling until Allah sends the Mahdi and kills seventy thousand of those disbelievers who are transgressors and hypocrites.
Imam Husayn himself said:
There will be twelve people who are guided. The first Imam who is guided by Allah and does not need to be guided by people is Imam Ali, and the last one is the ninth generation of my progeny. He is the Imam that is will rise truthfully, and the one who gives life to earth after being dead. And Allah is going to make the right religion prevail [over] all other religions even if the pagans may not like it
The last sentence in Imam's speech is from the Qur'an
'It is He who has sent His Apostle with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it prevail over all religions, though the polytheists should be averse." (9 33; 61 9)
