چکیده:
The explicit statement of some famous traditions among the specific and general public is that Imam Zaman will appear on Friday; however, there are other traditions that explicitly state His appearance will be on Saturday. The question is, which of these two categories of traditions is authentic? Investigations conducted in this article show that despite the fame of Friday, based on documents, the possibility of the appearance occurring on Saturday is greater, while at the same time, these two categories of traditions can be reconciled in a way. This article, using a descriptive-analytical method and examining all traditions regarding the day of appearance and their documentary and textual validation, has been able to reconcile these two categories of traditions, such that it can be claimed that Friday is the day of appearance for the elite (khawass) and Saturday is the day of appearance for the general public.

Another point is that Sheikh Saduq has not brought the narration of Friday under the heading of Friday, but rather under the heading "Chapter on what has been reached regarding Saturday," even in a place where he is not intending to explain the subject of the signs and the time of the appearance of Imam Zaman (aj), but rather in a place where he intends to explain the deeds of the days of the week.
Furthermore, Sheikh Saduq, in the book Kamal al-Din wa Tamam al-Ni'mah, which was written regarding the issues related to the occultation of Imam Zaman (aj), and that too with the indication and guidance of His Holiness in a true dream (Ibn Babawayh, 1395 AH, Vol. 1, p.
Attributing Friday to Imam Zaman (aj) Based on a narration that Sheikh Saduq in the book Khisal narrated from Imam Hadi (as) in the interpretation of the Prophetic narration «لا تعادوا الايام فتعاديکم », which was mentioned at the beginning of the article, His Holiness stated that "We are the intended meaning of the days; Saturday is the name of the Messenger of Allah (saw) and Sunday is a metaphor for the Commander of the Faithful (as), until he said: Friday is the name of the son of my son [Mahdi].
In conclusion, this point should not be overlooked that after Sheikh Saduq and Sayyid ibn Tawus, Allamah Majlisi, the author of Bihar al-Anwar, and Haj Sheikh Abbas Qummi, the author of Mafatih al-Jinan, have played the greatest role in spreading the thought of "Friday, the day of the appearance of Imam Zaman (as).
