The Imam's Appearance

Scholars have said that seeing the Imam in the guise of common people or walking humbly in the market does not diminish his authority but rather increases his strength. The Imam's illness may indicate his injustice, with the possibility of his body recovering that year. His death points to a defect in his kingdom, while being carried on shoulders signifies the strength of his rule and the weakness of his and his subjects' religion, but if he is not buried, there is hope for rectification.
