Divine all embracing mercy is always in emanation and effusion ,and the source of this permanent emanation is the most holy essence , but since there is no homogenity and uniformity between the temporal and local creatures of the contingent world with the Real Being to receive this permanent emanation immediately, rationally there is a need for a mediator to be able to take this responsibility by having the attributes. After the station of a pure oneness is the station of the general vicegerency of Mohamnadiyah, the mediator whose manifestations are the blessed presence of the household of the prophet (PBUH) who holds the highest position in the essence world. What has given them the chance of being mediators and vicegerents is to have the attributes that actually represent the attributes of Real Being. By looking at the text of narrated pilgrimages, we have tried to extract these attributes and to explain them from the perspective of mysticism as much as possible. The results of the research have shown common and general characteristics such as essential purity, the manifestation of permanent manifested name “Patron”, and the dignity of the commending station of transcendence Real, the encompassing knowledge of everything other than God through the name “the All knowing”, the existence and the emergence of the general manifestations through the manifestation of the divine name “the Light”, guidance of the creatures to the origin of the being through the name “the Guide” and as well as proper attributes such as “Patience”, “Truth”, “Generosity”, “Pleasure” “the Righteous” and “the Witness” and also some of the isolated statements such as “inspiration of revelation”, “Straight Path” and so on.
