Especially those from the people of Saudi Arabia (Mudar), and the people of Sham, Yemen, are Saudi Arabia, and that the north of the Kaaba is called Sham. And the people of Mudar are a metaphor for... Saudi Arabia, Quraysh and those around them.
- That the end of this sedition will be victory for the people of Yemen, but victory will only be with the allegiance of the Mahdi in Mecca, because he is guided and most of those who pledge allegiance to him are from there.
A wise man from Yemen named Mansour, and the fighting that will occur in his time: From Abdullah bin Amr, he said: (After the Mahdi, the people of Yemen will go to their land, then Al-Mansour, then after him the Mahdi, by whose hands the city of Rome will be conquered.) Fتن (Naim) - From Abu Ja'far, he said: (Then a Mansour will come to them from Yemen, from Sana'a with his banners... he will kill people with the killing of ignorance.) Fتن (Naim) - That the Mahdi mentioned in the text is not the Mahdi, but the one from the family of Al Saud. He is the first man to be called Al-Mahdi.
- The man who will go to Yemen to Yemen (King/Fahd), after him will be Mansour of Yemen (Abd Rabbuh Mansour).
- The Mahdi, peace be upon him, will come after Mansour of Yemen.
- And the phrase (he will kill people with the killing of ignorance), and this is what happened in the time of Al-Mansour (Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi).
The people of Yemen differ among themselves regarding the matter of rule.
From Arta'ah, he said: (They will gather and consider to whom they will pledge allegiance, and while they are like that, they will hear a voice, they said: Is it human or jinn? They pledged allegiance to so-and-so by name, not from a tribe or a clan, but he is a religious successor.) Fتن (Naim) - That the people of Yemen differ on who they appoint as their ruler), as evidenced by the words (tribe and clan), which are the people of Yemen, and this is what linguists and historians have stated.
- And while they are like that, the Mahdi will emerge, whose titles include the Yemeni Caliph, meaning the people of Yemen will not unite under one person after their differences and wars in the time of the aforementioned Yemeni Mansour.
- The letter "Fa" in the word (and while) is evidence of the sequence and lack of delay in the event. Therefore, the allegiance of the Mahdi is close to the differences of the people of Yemen, as they are the ones intended by this text, as evidenced by the word (tribe and clan).
- And it is a Sunnah of the universe that such differences do not last long. Therefore, the time of the Mahdi's allegiance is close to the time of the differences of the Yemenis. And this is what has been achieved, as the people of Yemen do not unanimously agree on one ruler, so perhaps there will be a division or something similar, and there will be several rulers.
The destruction of the city of Al-Ash'ari (Taiz).
Amr said: (I said to Al-Sadiq, peace be upon him: When will your قائم (Qa'im) rise? He said: At the destruction of the city of Al-Ash'ari. (Naim's Fتن on the hadiths of the Mahdi, by Al-Kurani). Al-Ash'ari is the noble companion Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, and Taiz in Yemen and what is around it is known as the city of Al-Ash'ariyyah, and this has been achieved.
Fighting between the people of Yemen and the people of Hijaz, after the expulsion of the people of Yemen from Hijaz.
Al-Walid said: (The Mahdi will rule and establish justice, then a dynasty, then after him from his household will rule those who are just, then from them will rule those who are unjust and do evil, until it reaches a man from them, and the people of Yemen will be expelled to Yemen, then they will come to him and kill him [and in another narration: fight him], and they will appoint a man from Quraysh over them called Muhammad, and some scholars said: he is from Yemen, and by the hands of that Yemeni, the blood will flow.) Fتن (Naim) - The mentioned Mahdi is the one called Al-Mahdi – as previously mentioned – and he is not the awaited Mahdi.
- That the one who expels the people of Yemen to Yemen is from the family of the just man who is called Al-Mahdi.
- They will come to him: meaning to the one who ruled Hijaz, and they will kill him. Meaning a war between the two parties, the people of Yemen and the people of Hijaz.
4- Signs in Iraq.
The killing of a Caliph in Iraq, and in its wake a man will emerge who will cause corruption in it. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: (And when the Caliph is killed in Iraq, a man of medium height, with a thick beard, black hair, and shining teeth will emerge against them, and the people of Iraq will be led astray by his followers, then the Mahdi will emerge from us, the people of the House.) (Al-Aqd by Al-Maqdisi). And this is what has been achieved from the signs. Before the emergence of the Mahdi, a ruler in Iraq will be killed, and in another text, he will be hanged. (In Iraq, hanged), and in the wake of this killing, the ruler of Iraq will be hanged, which is the killing of (President/Saddam Hussein), a man of medium height (neither tall nor short, neither thin nor stout), with a thick beard (thickening it), black hair, and shining teeth (most of them, gleaming white), will emerge, and he will be a torment and woe to the people of Iraq from him and from
