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.
He shall be having
awe, tranquility and dignity and in his appearance and manners he shall
resemble me. During his reappearance, the Almighty Allah would destroy your
enemies through a wind. Thus they began to continuously await and anticipate
the reappearance and advent of Hud till the period became prolonged and the
hearts of most of them hardened. Then Allah, the Mighty and the High sent His
Prophet, Hud when they had become despaired and calamities and hardships had
surrounded them fully and the enemies were destroyed by a wind sans benefit, a
wind that the Almighty Allah has described as follows in the Holy Quran:
"It did not leave aught on which it blew,
but it made it like ashes."[1]
After that
occultation occurred for him till the advent of Salih (a)."[2]
The advent of Qaim along with his distinctive
qualities were also prophesied by his honorable forefathers and they mentioned
his occultation and reappearance. Allah, the Mighty and Sublime destroyed the
infidels through Hud (a) and He sent Aqeem on them as the Almighty Allah says:
"When We sent
upon them the destructive wind. It did not leave aught on which it blew, but it
made it like ashes."[3]
Qaim is also having
the same situation that Allah, the Mighty and the High would also destroy some
disbelievers through a black windstorm…
