Imran bin Amer said: "Then Allah will send a man from Himyar, named Shu'ayb bin Salih. Then he will emerge from them, and there will be no faith in the world except in the land of Yemen, the land of the Himyarite kings, and the Himyarite rulers, Lubayb bin Manbu." (Fath al-Bari by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani)
His birth: It is reported that his birth was in the land of Talqan in Khurasan, which is the land of Afghanistan, or in Himyar.
Signs, آثار, and reports regarding this: From the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "When you see black banners coming from Khurasan, meet them, even if you have to crawl on your knees, for among them is the Caliph of Allah, al-Mahdi... and at their head will be a man from Tamim, named Shu'ayb bin Salih, born in Talqan." (Al-Bidaya wa al-Nihaya by al-Muttahiri al-Maqdisi)
Imran bin Amer said: "Then Allah will send a man from Himyar, named Shu'ayb bin Salih. Then he will emerge from them, and there will be no faith in the world except in the land of Yemen, the land of the Himyarite kings, and the Himyarite rulers, Lubayb bin Manbu." (Fath al-Bari by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani)
Although his birth in Himyar is not explicitly stated, and Himyar is in Yemen, this is inferred because all the reports have weak chains of transmission.
His characteristics: It is reported that he is a man of medium height, dark-skinned, with a beard, yellowish, with a beautiful face, and afflicted with leprosy.
Explanation of this: His color is between yellow and dark-skinned, meaning dark-skinned with a tendency towards yellowness. Bearded: This refers to someone who does not grow hair except on his chin. Beautiful face: This clarifies the characteristic of having a beard, as a bearded person has a beautiful face. Leprosy: This is a disease that affects the head and disfigures the face. This is a mistake or an insertion of words, as it is not valid due to its absence in other narrations and because the narration of al-Haythami is very weak.
Signs and آثار regarding this: From Al-Hasan, he said: "A man of medium height, dark-skinned, a freedman of Banu Tamim, with a beard, named Shu'ayb bin Salih, will emerge with the wind..." (Al-Fitan by Nu'aym bin Hammad)
From Al-Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "With the wind, a man of medium height, dark-skinned, from Banu Tamim, with a beard, named Shu'ayb bin Salih, will emerge..." (Al-Fatawa al-Hadithiyyah by Ibn Hajar al-Haythami)
His emergence: Several places are mentioned for his emergence: from Khurasan, specifically from the land of Talqan, which is Afghanistan; from Yemen; from Rayy - a city in Iran.
