Five signs of the rise of al-Qa'im

483. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazaz, from Umar Bin Hanzala who said: I heard Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام saying: ‘There are five signs before the rising of Al-Qaim عليه الصلاة والسلام – The scream, and the Sufyani, and the sinking (of the earth), and the killing of the pure soul (Al-Nafs Al-Zakkiyya) and Al-Yamany’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you عليه الصلاة والسلام, if someone from your عليه الصلاة والسلام Household comes out (in revolt) before these signs, shall we come out (revolt) with him?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘No’. So when it was the next morning, I recited this Verse: “[26:4] If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it”. I said, ‘Is this the scream?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘If that was, then the necks of the enemies of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic would stoop down in humility’.
