Certain signs of appearance

In many sayings and narrations, certain signs of appearance are said to be five signs. There are also other signs that will be mentioned in the next chapter:

1. Departure of Yamani

Yamani is one of the Shi’ite followers of Amir al-Muʾminin Ali (AS) and he will depart before the appearance in order to fight Sufyani from Yemen. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (AS) says: Sufyani, Yamani, and Khurasani will depart in the same year, month, and day. Their departure is followed by each other like necklace beads. Wherever you look, there will be fear, panic, and stress. Woe unto him who fight them. Among them, there is no purer flag than the Yamani’s flag which is the flag of guidance and invites you to your owner. When Yamani departs, he will forbid the trade of weapons. When he departs, hurry to him because his flag is the flag of guidance and no Muslim should stand against him. Whoever does this will go to hell because Yamani invites people to Truth and the right path. Imam Sadiq (AS) said: One of the children of Zayd, my uncle will depart in Yemen. According to a saying: Where will be Sufyani, and that is when the breaker of his eyes has not yet departed from Yemen; Based on this narration, Yamani could be before Sufyani and he is the first certain sign.

Note 1: Most of these series happen in the period of 26 months until the appearance. Note 2: The signs that are occurred before are not mentioned. Note 3: There are 570 occurred signs. Scholars could study the second volume of “The Time of Liberation” and “Mahdi (AJ), the expected”. But, according to narrations, the day of his appearance is Jum’a (Friday) and Ashura (The tenth day of Muharram), and what is forbidden concerning the determination of time is that one should not specify any exact year of the appearance. One of the most beneficial characteristics of knowing the signs of the appearance is that in the time you live, you can predict one or two years in which the appearance occurs or not. According to narrations, he appears in an odd years, such as one, three, five, seven, nine, and certain signs –which are five- must occur in an even year. (Of, course, just as the fourteen infallibles (a.s.) have pointed to lunar months and have expressed the evidence of signs based on lunar months, the events must be investigated in this manner.) One year before the appearance, three things will be completely evident: A: Different places all over the East and West will be sunk into the earth (khasf=Sink to the bottom of the earth) and khasf Bayda is an important one that is a certain sign. B: Many Sayyids and Alavis such as Sayyid Hasani and Shu’ayb ibn Salih and Yamani will revolt in order to prepare the conditions for appearance and passing the flag of guidance to Mahdi (AJ). Yamani is the most important figure among them and he is a certain sign. C: Different heralds will be heard in Rajab, Ramadhan, Dhu al-Hijjah, Ashura, etc. and the most important of heralds will be heard on the night of 23rd Ramadhan which is one of the certain signs of appearance.

It is said that Hassani is not Sayyid
