The decisive word Regarding the suspicion in the case of Imam Al-Mahdi The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) said: "When you see the Ka'bah stripped of its coverings, this is one of its signs." And if the Companions who pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace be upon him) with his hand, and he made it with his eye, it was a trial of seeing, as 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf said: "We pledged allegiance to the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) in hardship, and we fought. Then we pledged allegiance in ease after him, and we were divided." How can the Bedouins, the shepherds of camels, who have acquired immense wealth, be blamed? He advised them to be cautious!

'Uqbah ibn 'Amir said: The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) pointed with his hand towards Yemen and said: "Indeed, faith is Yemenite, and indeed, the Bedouins are the owners of camels, where the devil's head appears in Rabi'ah and Mudar." Ibn Hajar said: "And it is said that my father wanted to make crafts in Yemen, and he found that the Bedouins were more numerous than Rabi'ah and Mudar, for they are the owners of camels." Then the shepherds of camels, Al-Azd, wanted to drive them beyond the limits that God had revealed to His Messenger. So they fought with the shepherds of the Arabs, and they increased their camels.

And it is strange that a man from Quraish suggested killing the Prophet (peace be upon him). When they went to Dar al-Nadwah, they agreed to do so. Iblis appeared to him in the form of an old man and sat with him at the door. He asked: Who is the old man? He said: A man from Quraish, who has lost his property and has come to you to see what you say, and to advise you to take what you have. He said: Yes, enter. So he entered with him.

I do not know why Iblis wanted to appear in the form of an old man from Quraish! Do you think it is because he wanted to play the role of Iblis to an old man from Quraish?
