A Note "The people of the House, a man from my Ummah, with a prominent nose, will fill the earth with justice as it has been filled with tyranny."

7. "Aqna al-anf": It has length and delicacy in its tip with a hump in the middle, so it is not sharp at the tip and not flat-nosed, with a flattened summit. And from Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: "He is aqna, ajla, with the mark of the Prophet, peace be upon him, on his shoulder." Shamam and qana are two opposing characteristics that do not coexist in one person unless the qana is slight, only appearing to those who contemplate it, meaning they look closely at it.

8. "His color is an Arab color, Adam: dark-skinned." In Nu'aym bin Hammad's Book of Tribulations, there is a long hadith: "A dark-skinned man with curly hair."

9. "His face is like a shining star." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, said: "Al-Mahdi is a man from my offspring, his face is like a shining star; his color is an Arab color, and his body is an Israelite body. He will fill the earth with justice as it has been filled with tyranny. In his caliphate, the people of the earth and the people of the sky will be pleased, and the birds in the air." He also said: "His face is like a shining star in color. On his right cheek is a black mole, he is forty years old."

10. "Afarq and Aghraq": His teeth are widely spaced, or one of his teeth is covered by the gums, or the teeth are mixed with others. And aflaj al-thanaaya, which is al-afraq: meaning the teeth in the front of the upper or lower jaw, or both, are separated. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family, said: "Allah will send a man from my progeny, with separated teeth, a broad forehead, who will fill the earth with justice, and wealth will overflow."
