WHEN HE SAW A FIRE, HE SAID TO HIS FAMILY: “WAIT! VERILY, I HAVE SEEN A FIRE, PERHAPS I CAN BRING YOU SOME BURNING BRAND THEREFROM, OR FIND SOME GUIDANCE AT THE FIRE.” (SURAH TA HA, 10) |
It is narrated from Husayn ibn Ali (ra) that: "WHEN A GREAT FIRE IN THE SKY ILLUMINATING THE NIGHT IS SEEN IN THE EAST, THAT IS THE MOMENT OF THE COMING OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)." Mar'i ibn Yusuf al-Maqdisi " Fera Idu Fevaidi'l Fiqr Fi'l Imam al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar |
WHEN YOU SEE A FIRE FROM THE EAST, expect Al Muhammad [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] to appear. (Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-zaman, p. 32) |
