ADNAN OKTAR:Hazrat Mahdi (a.s) has characteristics, nine characteristics. One; the fact that he has perception. His explaining the Holy Book, two. His knowing the meaning of the Divine Word, three. His knowing the conditions, behaviors and actions of the people whom he appoints, four. Five, his not pulling away from mercy and justice even when he is angry. Six, his knowing the classes of beings. Seven, his knowing the elaborate aspects of tasks. Eight, his understanding of people's need. Nine, his possessing the innate sciences which are required especially in his own time. His knowing the events that will take place in the future. How does he know? He will know through the hadiths. Insha'Allah. It is been stated that Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.) will possess these nine characteristics.

"In his health, our Prophet (saas) stated that only Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.) will not be mistaken and he remained silent about the others." So our Prophet (saas) did not say "this one will never be mistaken," about any man; he did not use this statement for anyone including his Companions. Neither Hazrat Omar (r.a.) nor Hazrat Abu Bakir (r.a.), nor Hazrat Osman (r.a.), nor Hazrat Ali (r.a.). He did not say "He will not be mistaken" for anyone. He is saying this only for Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.); he is saying "He is never be mistaken" so Hazrat Mahdi (a.s.) is innocent in terms of judgment. Because Gabriel (a.s.), Michael (a.s.), Azrael (a.s) are always with him. Gabriel (a.s.) is always with him.
