The decisive word Regarding the case of Imam Al-Mahdi As for the Arabs of the East, they are of the lineage of the Arabs of the Levant; and the Arabs of the Levant are descended from several Levantine tribes, including the Arabs of Jordan; and they are of Sham, and the Arabs of Al-Jazira are also of Sham.

 If you are asked about the lineage of the two brothers Imam Al-Dhahabi - may God have mercy on him - said, in his biography of Al-Hasan bin Salih bin Salih bin Hajjaj Al-Haddadi: "The great Imam, one of the scholars, Abu Ubadah bin Al-Haddadi, the scholar, the jurist, the worshipper, the brother of Imam... Ubadah bin Salih... used to ascend the pulpit, and the crowds of the imams of the city would gather around him." - Then Al-Dhahabi said: When Al-Hasan bin Salih was mentioned before Al-Thawri, he said: "That is a man who sees the truth for the nation."

... Yusuf bin Asbat said: Al-Hasan bin Hajjaj used to see the truth - then Al-Dhahabi mentioned the following anecdote: If a man said to Al-Thawri: O Abu Ubadah bin, the day has come for Al-Hasan and Ubadah, our sons. He said: And where are our sons? He said: In the market. He said: When they pass by, show them to me. One of them passed by, and I said: This is Ubadah, and the other passed by, and I said: This is Al-Hasan. He said: As for the first, he is a man of the hereafter, and as for the other, he is a man of the sword, whose life is short.

He said: Then a man came to him and said: O Abu Ubadah bin, if you were with us, you would have brought Ubadah. Then he went and brought Ubadah to him, and Sufyan brought him to him. Then Ubadah said to his father: O Abu Ubadah bin! What made you mention his brother yesterday when you mentioned him? What assures you that this man, the son of Abu Ghaffar, will not come to you and call him, and he will kill him? He said: Then I looked at Sufyan.
