Resemblance of the 12th Imam to the Prophets(a.s.) (Resemblance to Hud)

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. 

Resemblance of the 12th Imam to the Prophets(a.s.) (Resemblance to Idrees)

Idrees (a) is the grandfather of Akhnukh, the father of Nuh (a). The Almighty Allah exalted Idrees to a high degree; it is said that he was raised to the fourth or the sixth heaven.

 In Majmaul Bayan it is narrated from Mujahid that he said: "Idrees was taken up to the sky like Isa (a) was taken, while he was alive and not dead." And others have said: "His soul was captured between the fourth and the fifth heaven." This point is narrated from Imam Baqir (a):[1] The Almighty Allah also took up Qaim to a high position in the sky.

Resemblance of the 12th Imam to the Prophets(a.s.) (Resemblance to Nuh)

Nuh, the senior-most (in age) of the prophets: It is narrated from Imam Sadiq and Imam Hadi (a) that His Eminence, Nuh (a) lived for 2500 years. And His Eminence, Qaim (a) is the senior-most (in age) of the successors; on the basis of the tradition of Kafi, was born on the 15th of Shaban 255 A.H.[1]

Thus the age of His Eminence till date - Sunday, 10^th Zilqad 1301 A.H. - comes to 1081 years and 5 days. It is narrated from Imam Zainul Abideen (a) that he said: "In the Qaim is present the characteristics of Adam and Nuh (a),

and that is a long life…"[2]
