They did not think it necessary to elaborate why they were more deserving; it means that it was an obvious thing. The fact is that the house of prophethood and the house of kingship were well-known among the Israelites - the two houses were highly respected because of these two graces of Allah. And Talut was from neither. That is why they objected that they - the people of the house of kingship or both kingship and prophethood - had a greater right to kingship than Talut; Allah had put kingship in their family, how could they accept its transfer to someone else?
Kabla sijataja nukta hizo zinazohusu kutoonekana na kutotambuliwa kwake, napenda kuashiria hapa kwamba tunapozungumzia kutoonekana kwa Imamu Mahdi (A.S) hatuna maana kutoonekana kabisa katika upeo wa macho ya wanadamu, isipokuwa ni kwamba mtu anaweza kumuona lakini asitambua kuwa huyu nimuonae ndie Imamu, na kwamba huyu ndiye aliye wekwa na kuchaguliwa na Mwenyezi Mungu kuwa kiongozi wa walimwengu hilo ndio jambo lisilowezekana, mpaka hapo atakapo dhihiri wakati muda wa kudhihiri kwake utakapo fika na kutambulika kwake kwa walimwengu wote, kwani Imamu Mahdi(A.S) sio mtu ambae tunasubiri kuzaliwa kwake bali ni mtu ambaye yupo na anaishi pamoja nasi tunamuona na anatuona na tunashirikiana naye katika Huzuni na furaha zetu na anayashuhudia mambo yote yaliyoko kwenye uso wa Ardhi, ikiwa ni adhabu na mateso kwa wenyekuadhibiwa na dhulma kwa wenye kudhulumiwa.
