But in others it is not used so; rather it is used as generally referring to a person who stands up or rises up for justice. In his ''[[al-Kafi]]'', [[al-Kulayni]] wrote a chapter under "all Imams were Qa'im (standing up) for God's order". Phrases in hadiths, such as "he is the Qa'im of his time", "all of us are Qa'im for God's order" and the like, imply that the term, "Qa'im", is not specifically used for Imam al-Mahdi (a). | In some [[hadith]]s, "Qa'im Al Muhammad" (the standing [person] of the family of Muhammad) is used as a title of [[Imam al-Mahdi (a)]].

Some hadiths are explicit about this, for example: | Since [[Imam al-Mahdi's (a) uprising]] (qiyam) is the most salient part of his life, this title was frequently used in the remarks of the [[Infallibles (a)]].
