Some raise an objection saying that Shaykh al-Mamaqani said: “A man was honored by seeing the Hujjah (may Allah hasten his reappearance and make us his ransom in every hardship) after his occultation, and we take this as evidence of his being on a level higher than mere justice (ʿadālah), necessarily.” So why don’t we apply the same judgment to someone who saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)?
Answer
In the name of Allah, seeing the Messenger of Allah during his lifetime was something shared by believers, disbelievers, and hypocrites alike. However, seeing the Imam (may Allah hasten his reappearance) during the time of occultation is restricted to individuals like the one Shaykh al-Mamaqani (may Allah have mercy on him) referred to. And Allah is the Guide.
