series happen in the period of 26 months until the appearance.

But, according to narrations, the day of his appearance is Jum’a
(Friday) and Ashura (The tenth day of Muharram), and what is forbidden

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.
