The prophetic hadith "Man Mat" has been narrated with different words and expressions in the narrative and theological sources of Fariqin and has spiritual frequency. The content of the hadith is that if someone dies without knowing his imam, he has died the death of ignorance. The interpretation of Jahili death indicates that not knowing the Imam means not knowing the Prophet, and the requirement of this matter is that all the things that the Prophet has are also fixed for the Imam; Except for a special position such as prophethood, which has a valid reason for assigning it. Therefore, the mentioned hadith indicates that the imam, like the prophet, is infallible and appointed by God. Another meaning of the hadith is that there is an Imam at any time who should be recognized. After Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.), there is no Imam with these characteristics except for Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.), whose Imamate is believed by the Shiites. Therefore, the hadith "Man Mat" indicates the existence and imamate of the Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.).

From the point of view of Thaqalayn, jurisprudence is equivalent to deep understanding in religion, and jurisprudence is a kind of understanding and reasoning in guardianship and acquisition of knowledge, and whatever is opposed to this knowledge is illusion and mirage, i.e Laysa Beshay or La Shey which is the temple of Movla. The only near knowledge that is the real calamity and Endallah is the knowledge of the Imam; Because the basis of knowing God and worshiping God is the knowledge of the Imam; Otherwise, it will be specifically out of the title of knowledge. So use the texts; "Faqih" refers to a person who, in addition to the appearances of legislative propositions, also meditates on them and becomes a mystic by the knowledge of the Imam, which is the knowledge of adducent. Therefore, the criteria and rules of jurisprudence are based on the wisdom of the infallibles (peace be upon them); That is, while the manifestations of the word of Hajaj Allah have authority over the creation, it is obligatory on the jurist to acquire the knowledge to the words and the opposites (hidden meanings and allusions of the word) of infallible; That is, to deepen on the heart and truths of the words of the infallible in order to avoid delusions and suspicions. This descriptive-analytical study, while explaining the true meaning of knowledge, examines the criteria and areas of jurisprudence from the perspective of Thaqalayn.

God is the one who is the origin of the religion, and He is the one who has communicated the one religion, first, to His messengers and then to people through the revelation till the Day of Resurrection. This single religion was passed on to the divine prophets, and they were responsible to communicate it to their own people until the perfect and complete version of it was revealed during the time of Prophet Mohammad (p.b.u.h.). A careful reflection upon the verses of the holy Quran reveals that Islam is the only religion approved by God, and the truth of Islam is Hazrat-e Amir al-Mo’menin’s (a.s.) welayat. Fiqh-e mosaveq (concurrent) refers to a deep understanding of religion, and tafaqqoh (gaining sound knowledge) denotes a form of understanding of and reasoning about welayat and acquisition of true knowledge of the Imam of every age. Therefore, it is revealed from the Quran and other religious texts that ‘tafaqqoh in religion’ in the 122nd verse of Surah al-Tobah refers to reflection upon welayat and acquisition of a sound knowledge of the Imam in every age and of Imam Mahdi (aj.) at present. Accordingly, the ruling of tafaqqoh in religion is wajib-e nafsi, wajib-e eini and wajib-e molavi (an act that God has made it obligatory due to its common good). That is, the essence of tafaqqoh in religion or attainment of the knowledge of the Imam of every age is desirable to the mowla (God), and it is obligatory for all the religiously accountable people, and the abandonment of this wajib-e molavi will result in punishment and the rejection of other acts. This study has been conducted using the analytical approach and with a new look at the truth of tafaqqoh in religion and its ruling.

The present article argumentatively discusses the most important duties such as knowledge, obedience, submission, gratitude, friendship with friends and enmity to the enemies of Imam, assistance, revival of the Imamate of the Household (pbut), praying and expecting for appearance which should be observed towards the Infallibles (pbut). Knowledge of the Imam is a precondition to acquire faith, belief, and act. Since Imam has been appointed by God to guide human beings, obedience to him is connected to obedience to God and the same as obedience to God. On the other hand, true faith is defined by submission to the Imam, and non submission is the same as polytheism (shirk). And one of the effects of submission is allegiance with the Imam (pbuh). Assistance to Imam is as a matter of fact assistance to God’s religion as a consequence of which the one who assists the Imam cannot be overcome. To whom who revives or enlivens the cause of Imamate of the Household (pbut) is granted the never ending Divine mercy. In the age of occultation, expecting for appearance of the Awaited and praying for him is one of the main duties of the Ummah towards the Imam (pbuh) and brings about many blessings.
