Question:	It is narrated that that the 12th imam is present in every haj, especially at Arafat. I believe this but want to confirm if can people meet him with or without recognizing him?
Answer:	Allama Baqir Sharif Al Qureshi quotes in his book The Life of Imam Al Mahdi. Muhammad bin Uthman has narrated that His Eminence, the Master of the Age performed the Hajj Pilgrimage every year. He says, "By Allah!
