H 396 - It is narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) that the
age of Imam Mahdi (a.s) would not be more than forty years. He would be extremely strong, powerful and energetic. There are numerous traditional reports resembling this one, which differ in words as well as meaning.

أنه قال: ليس صاحب هذا الامر(من جاز من أربعين)، صاحب هذا الامر القوي المشمر. وما أشبه ذلك من الاخبار التي وردت مختلفة الالفاظ متباينة المعاني.
