After the 12th Imam (a.s) rules it will be rule of his Caliph (a.s) the Yamani (a.s)! Two distinct personalities are spoken of in this hadith as the respite of the Nation of Muhammad (s.a.w), the Imam Al-Mahdi (a.s) AND the Mahdi (a.s), both of whom are known by the title The Qa'em (a.s). Imam Muhammd Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "The Qe'em (Riser) SHALL HAVE 2 NAMES; one is SECRET while the other is announced. The announced is Muhammad (asws) (12th Imam a.s), while THE ONE KEPT SECRET IS AHMED." Kamal Al-Din part 2 p.653 door 57. Again, the Qa'em/Riser is a term that applies to the 2 Masoom personalities from Ahle-Bayt (a.s) who will rise and establish the global Islamic Rule. One is the inaugural Head of State - e.g. President (12th Imam a.s), while the other is the Military Commander under him who actually dies the fighting by his own hands- e.g. General in the Armed Forces (Al-Yamani/Al-Mahdi a.s.) Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "And then the cursed Sufyani will appear and will appear among them all, and before it 12 banners will be raised in Kufa which are known, and someone from Kufa will rise who is from the son of Al-Hussein (a.s) CALLING TO HIS FATHER, (the Yamani a.s) calling to the 12th Imam a.s), and so the Sufyani (l.) will send forth his armies." - Book of Fitan for Abi Na'eem Vol.1 p.28. 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 right path." Al-Ghaybah - Mohammed Ibn Ibrahim Al-Noamani. Imam Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "Allah has a treasure in Talkan, neither gold nor silver, 12 thousand in Khurasan. Their slogan is ‘AHMAD, AHMAD’! They are led by a young man from Bani Hashem riding a blonde mule, wearing a red headband as if I am looking at him across the Euphrates. So if you hear about that rush to him, even if crawling over snow." - Montakhab AlAnwar Al-Modi'a p.343. --------Allah humma salle ala Muhammad wa Ahle Muhammad al Aima wal Mahdiyeen wa Salim Taslimun Kathira.
