Prophet Muhammad, may God bless
him and his pure family, said, "When
my Lord the Great and Almighty
ascended me, a call came past to me:
'Oh Muhammad', I said, 'here I am!
At your service.' ........ until he said,
'and the emergence of a man from the
family of Al-Hussein Bin Ali Bin Abi
Talib, peace be upon him, and the
emergence of the antichrist, he gets
out from the east from Sajestan
(Sistan) and the emergence of the
Suffyani.' The sources are Bihar AlAnwar, page 70, chapter 51, chapter

The meaning of this narration is that
when God, the Great and Almighty,
ascended him, May God Bless him
and his pure family, a call came to
him and this call was from God. So
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
him and his family said: "Here I am
at your service"... until God which is
the voice said to Muhammad, peace
be upon him and his family, and the
emergence of a man from the family
of Al-Hussain Bin Ali Bin Abi Talib
(a.s), this man is referring to Ahmed

Abdullah Al-Mahdi, and the
emergence of the antichrist, the
antichrist will also get out from the
Eastern part of the world, which is
the same part as the Messenger of the
Al-Mahdi (a.s). Suffyani in this
narration is referring to the group
against the Al-Mahdi and his army.
When God sent the Prophets and
Messengers, peace be upon them all,
to their people there was always
someone against them, like Pharaoh,
the curse of God upon him, was
against Moses, peace be upon him.
The Jews and Christians were against
Prophet Muhammad, may God bless
him and his family. Even at the
beginning of time when Qabeel
declared his intention to kill Habeel.
Now that we have the son of
Mohammed Al-Mahdi, May God
Hasten his reappearance, there will be
the group of Suffyani against the
Ansar Allah which means the helpers
of Prophet Muhammad and his pure
family, May God Bless him and his
family too much.
Hudhayfah Ibn Al-Yaman said, "I
heard the Messenger of Allah,
Muhammad, peace be upon him and
his progeny, speaking and he
mentioned Al-Mahdi (a.s) and said,
'he is pledged between the corner

(The grave of Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib,
peace be upon him) and the place
(City of Koofah). He is named
Ahmed, Abdullah and the Mahdi.
These are his three names.' " This
narration is in The book of Occulation
for Al-Tusi, page 305.
This narration is completely clear as it
is explained by Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him and his family,
because this shows by the will of
Allah that he had knowledge of the
first Mahdi (a.s), and this is the
second narration from Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him and
his family, that he mentions Ahmed
Abdullah Al-Mahdi (a.s). Her sons
include Ahmed Abdullah Al-Mahdi
(a.s). Prophet Muhammad, may God
bless him and his pure family much,
said "I am leaving behind two things
the book of God and my Family." So
we must hold firm to the two things
that are left behind by Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w) and look into this
Call as much as possible and obey the
ones from Muhammad and his
Progeny.
