The decisive word Regarding the case of Imam Al-Mahdi The seventh chapter: The Yemeni and the Syrian Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas, may Allah be pleased with him, said: I entered Damascus and found no one there except Abdullah bin Al-Yaman. So he said: O Abdullah bin Al-Yaman! How can you be if we are expelled from the Levant and you are left alone? He said: And you? He said: Yes, by the Lord of the Kaaba. So he said: What is wrong with you that you are being burned? So one of the companions said: Are we more deserving of being burned than you? He said: Yes, by Ibn Al-Kabb. So Al-Yaman said: May Allah curse him. Hear those who wronged him, and they will be punished. Abdullah said: If I reach that, I will be with Abdullah bin Al-Yaman, and he will be the one who is burned.

This narration is based on the geographical boundaries of Yemen and the Levant, and the narration of the two Yemenis who traveled to it. And what are the geographical boundaries of Yemen that end at the port of Aden?! Or at the graves of Qura and their people?! Or at Bishah, or at Al-Jah, or at ....?! Have you seen the officer and the geographical boundaries of Yemen?!

Far from the borders of Syria and Iraq, Yemen (the Arabs knew Yemen) was located towards the south from the Arabian Peninsula; and the Levant (the Arabs knew the Levant) was known for the north. And he completed the accuracy of the definition by saying: The Arabs knew, and therefore the Levant extended to the farthest reaches of Azerbaijan. Therefore, Yemen and the Levant are two brothers, two neighbors in places. Yemen is adjacent to Yemen, as it is on its right, and the Levant is adjacent to it, as it is on its left. And the hadith says: "No one among you will be burned except that there is no kinship between him and his Lord; and he looks to his right and sees nothing but what he has sent forward, and he looks to his left and sees nothing but what he has sent forward."
