of Ahmad al Hassan (a.s). Who is
the source of this claim? Well,

several narrations that the
death of this man will herald
good news for many, for it is
after his death that the Mahdi
(a.s) will rise.
From the Messenger of Allah
(s.a.w), “Hijaz (Saudi Arabia)
will be ruled by a man whose
name is the name of an animal
(Fahad/leopard), when you see

you get close to him, you do not
see anything (wrong) in his
eyes. He will be succeeded by a
brother of his, named Abdullah.

death, and I shall give you the
good news of the appearance of
the Hujjah (Imam Mahdi a.s)”.
