Your Sins Are Delaying Zuhoor!

In the incident of Ali bin Mahziyar, it is mentioned that Imam Mahdi (ajtfs) asked him: “O Abal Hasan, what do you want?”

I (Ali bin Mahziyar) replied: “An Imam who is hidden and veiled from the world.”

He (ajtfs) said: “He is not hidden and veiled from you, but your bad deeds have concealed him from you.”
