Loss of Hope in The Coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) is One of The Portents of His Coming

Hazrat Mahdi (as) will Appear When Hope of His Coming is Lost "ALLAH WILL SEND HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) when people are in despair and say, "THERE IS NO MAHDI"…(al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 55) HE (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)) WILL APPEAR AT THE MOMENT THE PEOPLE LOSE HOPE OF HIS COMING! How happy those who live to help him will be! Woe to those who harbor enmity toward him (Hazrat Mahdi (as)), who oppose him or his commands and to his enemies! (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 301) "... HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR with the flag of the Messenger of Allah (saas), when people are widely afflicted AND WHEN ALL HOPE OF HIS COMING HAS BEEN LOST…(Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 55) Dawud ibn Kathir Riqqi says: I asked Imam Abu Abdullah: ...He [Hazrat Mahdi) (as)] is long in coming, our hearts are saddened and we are dying from a profound sorrow. He said: "HIS COMING WILL TAKE PLACE WHEN THERE IS EVEN GREATER DESPAIR AND SORROW." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 208) ... HE (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)) WILL APPEAR AT THE MOMENT OF DESPAIR AND HOPELESSNESS.(Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 274) Hazrat Mahdi (as) Will Appear Secretly And Suddenly Imam Riza said: "... It is related from my fathers that HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR SECRETLY AND SUDDENLY." (Yanabee'-al-Mawadda, Vol. 2, p. 197)
