"As for Mosul its people will perish from
hunger and high prices" – Imam Ali (a.s)
Is this not what we are witnessing in Iraq
and Sham?
As-Sadiq (a.s) said: "As-Sufyani, Al-
Khurasani, and AL-YAMANI will all
come out in the same day. However, the
most guiding among them shall be AlYamani, for he calls for the truth." - AsSirat Al-Mustaqeem, vol. 2 by An-Nibaty
Al-Amili, p.250.
Imam Ali a.s. says:
"O communities of people, if the
Sufyani appeared he will have great
events. The first event is in Homs and
then Halab and then Riqa and then the
village of Saba and then Ra's Ain and
then Nisbeen and then Mosul and it’s a
great event when the men of Zawra
(Baghdad) were gathered to Mosul from
the houses of Yunes until AlLakhma and
there will be a great event 70,000 will be
killed and in Mosul there will be a severe
fight which will occur to it and then it
will come down to the Sufyani and he
will kill from them 70,000. With it
(Mosul) are the treasure of Qaroon (oil?)
and it has great situations after the
landslide and the throw (comet strike?)
and Maskh (transmutation) and it will
be faster to disappear from the ground
than the peg of steel from the ground of
Rajf (earthquake shaking).” He (Imam)
said: “And the Sufyani remains to kill all
of those who have names like
Muhammad, Ali, Hasan, Husain,
Fatima, Jaafar, Musa, Zainab, Khadeeja,
in hatred and enmity to the family of
Muhammad pbut."

Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "There is no banner
better than that of the banner of Yamani,
it is the banner of faith and dedication,
because he calls to your possessor, so if
the Yamani comes out, selling weapons
to people or any Muslim becomes
prohibited, and if the Yamani appears,
stand up to him, because his banner is
the banner of faith, and it is prohibited
for any Muslim to turn away from him,
and whoever turns away from him, then
he is from the people of hell because he
(Yamani) calls to the truth and to the
