The actual name of
Hud (a) is Aabir, and Nuh had given glad tidings about him. It is narrated from Imam Sadiq (a) in
Kamaluddin that he said:"When the demise of
Nuh approached, he summoned his Shias and followers and said: You should know
that after me there shall be an occultation when false deities would appear.
And indeed Allah, the Mighty and Sublime would bestow victory upon you through
my descendant who would be named Hud.
