A note The Yemenis said: Praise be to God, those who have wronged will know to what [evil] end they will return. Abdullah said: If I live to see that, I will be with the people of Yemen, and they will prevail. This is what happened in the Gulf crisis and the deportation of Yemenis. A group of them remained there as expatriates in the land of exile, threatened with deportation due to the condition of working for a Saudi sponsor and the deportation of anyone proven to be working for someone other than their sponsor. After their deportation, the Yemenis live in their homeland during a transitional period.

Mansour Al-Yamani and the people fighting each other. The fighting of ignorance. The people of Yemen differ among themselves and appoint a man called Al-Mansour. He might be (Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi), who took office after the people of Yemen differed during the so-called Arab Spring revolution. Then people fight each other the fighting of ignorance, and their affair ends with them becoming two factions, and each faction has a list of candidates. While they are saying, "We appoint so-and-so, then so-and-so," a voice comes from the sky, and satellite channels announce the appearance of the Yemeni Caliph, who is the Mahdi. They accept him and are convinced by him. He will not be from either of the two factions, but rather a Yemeni Caliph. From Abdullah bin Amr, he said: (After the Mahdi, who brings the people of Yemen back to their country, then Al-Mansour, then after him the Mahdi, at whose hands the city of Rome will be conquered). And from Arta'ah, he said: (They will gather and look to whom they will pledge allegiance. While they are like that, they will hear a voice that is neither human nor jinn. They will pledge allegiance to so-and-so by name, who is not of lineage, but he is a Yemeni Caliph). And the saying circulates on people's tongues, a famous saying among the people of Yemen, especially the elderly, they say: (From Al-Hadi to Al-Mahdi). And among the signs of his appearance is the emergence of Al-Yamani.
