Tradition
Sudair Sairafi narrates from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) (regarding Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.)), ‘His occultation will be identical to Hazrat Esa’s (a.s.). The Jews and Christians colluded to kill him, but Allah denied them this as He proclaims
‘And they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so…’ (Surah Nisa (4): 157)
