Signs of Reappearance Of Imam Mahdi (Part 5)

Signs of the Uprising of the Qaim of Aale Muhammad (a.s.)

• Ikmaaluddin: Shaykh Saduq has narrated from his father from Himyari from Ibrahim bin Mahziyar from his brother Ali, from Ahwazi from Safwan from Muhammad bin Hakim from Maimoon Laban that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said:

“Five signs will be seen before the uprising of the Qaim: Arrival of the Yemenite man, Sufyani, Call from the sky, Sinking of the ground in Baidha desert and Killing of the Pure Soul (Nafse Zakiyyah).” ¹

• Ikmaaluddin: Shaykh Saduq says: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid (r.a.): Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan Saffar from Abbas bin Maruf from Ali bin Mahziyar from Abdullah bin Muhammad Hajjal from Thalaba bin Maimoon from Shuaib Hadhdha from Salih, freed slave of Bani Azra that he said: I heard Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) say:

“There will be only a gap of fifteen days between the rising of the Qaim of Aale Muhammad and the killing of the Pure Soul (Nafse Zakiyyah).”
This traditional report is also mentioned in Ghaibat Shaykh and Irshad Mufeed. ¹

• Ikmaaluddin: Shaykh Saduq says: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Walid (r.a.) that he said: Narrated to us Husain bin Hasan Ibne Aban from Husain bin Saeed from Safwan bin Yahya from Isa bin Ayyan from Mualla bin Khunais from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) that he said:

“Indeed the advent of Sufyani is a certain matter and it shall take place in the month of Rajab.” ¹

• Ikmaaluddin: And through the same chain of narrators from Husain bin Saeed from Hammad bin Isa from Ibrahim bin Umar from Abi Ayyub from Harith bin Mughaira from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) that he said:

“The call from the sky shall be raised on the 23^rd eve of Friday of the month of Ramadhan.” ¹

• Ikmaaluddin: And through the same chain of narrators from Husain bin Saeed from Muhammad bin Abi Umair from Umar bin Hanzala that he said: I heard Abi Abdullah (a.s.) say:

“Five signs will become manifest before the reappearance of the Qaim: Advent of Yamani and Sufyani, call from the sky, the killing of the Pure Soul (Nafse Zakiyyah) and the sinking of Baidha land.” ¹

• Ikmaaluddin: Shaykh Saduq says: Narrated to us my father: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Husain bin Abil Khattab from Ja’far bin Bashir from Hisham bin Saalim from Zurarah from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) that he said:

“A caller will call out in the name of the Qaim.” I asked: “Will it be for some people or for all?” He replied: “It would be for all. And every community will hear it in its own language.” I asked: “Would the opponents of Qaim be also called in his name?” “No,” he said: “For them Iblis will call out at the end of the night and put suspicion in the hearts of the people.”
The author says: Apparently it should be the last part of the day instead of night as will be mentioned in the coming reports. It seems to be a mistake of the calligrapher, because in some copies there is no mention of last part of the night. ¹
