A note on Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein bin Ali, may Allah be pleased with them both, that he said: (The Mahdi has five signs: the Sufyani, the Yamani, a cry from the sky, an earthquake in the desert, and the killing of the pure soul). It has been narrated from Ja'far al-Sadiq: (And there is no banner more guided than the banner of the Yamani, it is a banner of truth because it calls to your companion).

Saudi Arabia: Consists of the Hijaz and parts of the Levant, Yemen, and Najd.

The Hijaz: It is the land of Mecca and Medina and what follows them, and it is today within Saudi rule.

Some parts of the Levant: Such as the city of Tabuk and what follows it. These are Levantine lands within Saudi rule.

Some parts of Yemen: Such as the cities of Jazan and Najran, and Asir and what follows them. These are Yemeni lands within Saudi rule.

The Horn of Satan Najd was formerly called the land of Yamama, and it is in the center of the Arabian Peninsula, east of Mecca and Medina. It is a vast elevated plateau, and today it has several cities and villages, including the city of Riyadh, which is the capital of the Saudi state, and its rulers are from there. The greatest tribulations before the appearance of the Mahdi emerge from Najd, for from it emerges the Horn of Satan, as narrated from Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, said: "O Allah, bless us in our Sham and in our Yemen." They said: "And in our Najd?" He said: "O Allah, bless us in our Sham and in our Yemen." They said: "And in our Najd?" He said: "There are earthquakes and tribulations, and in it emerges the Horn of Satan."
