is a child that WILL BE BORN IN THE END TIMES, he is THE MAHDI (a.s) from this offspring'." - Kamal Al-Din and Sheikh Al-Sadooq p.330, p.308, p.312. As-Sadiq (a.s) said: "As-Sufyani (l.a), Al-Khurasani, and AL-YAMANI (a.s) will all come out in the same day. However, the most guiding among them shall be AlYamani (a.s), for he calls for the truth." As-Sirat Al-Mustaqeem, vol. 2 by An-Nibaty Al-Amili, p.250. From Um Hane' Al-Thaqeefa who said: "At evening I went to my Master Muhammad (a.s) son of Ali (a.s) AlBaqir (a.s) and said: 'O Master, there is a verse in the Book of Allah that is in my heart and made me worried and I spent the whole night.' He (a.s) said: 'Ask oh Um Hane'. I said: 'O Master, Allah (swt) said: 'So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede, go straight, or hide.' Verses 14 and 15 of Surat Takweer. He (a.s) said: 'Yes, this question you asked about Um Hane', it *Therefore the child born in the end times cannot be Imam Al-Mahdi (a.s) as he was born over 1400 years ago! Rather the child born in these End Times we are in is the Yamani/Mahdi (a.s). The same Al-Mahdi (a.s) the Ahle al-Sunnah recognise as they believe AlMahdi (a.s) will be born in the End Time as recorded in the ahadith they consider authentic and they do not recognis e our 12 Imam (a.s). You see, we are in agreement with the Sunnis over that child born in the end times, but the Sunnis don't recognise his father and superior the 12th Imam (a.s)* Imam Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "O Aba Muhammad, the nation of Muhammad (s.a.w) will not see any respite at all, unless the son of Banu someone perishes, Allah will deliver for the nation of Muhammad (s.a.w) a man who is from us Ahle Bayt (a.s), that is simple with piety and works for guidance, and does not take in his ruling any bribery. By Allah I know him by his name and his father’s name. AND THEN THE ONE THAT HAS A MOLE AND 2 MARKS, THE JUST LEADER, THE PRSERVER OF WHAT HE LEFT, HE SHALL SPREAD IT WITH JUSTICE AND TRANQUILLITY after it has been filled by the tyrants with injustice and tyranny." - Bihar AlAnwar vol.52 p.269.
