Al-Yamani's personality

According to Shia sources, it is not clear whether Al-Yamani is one of descendants of Hasan ibn Ali or Husayn ibn Ali.[1][2] A tradition by Ja'far al-Sadiq about Yamani ancestry said, "[One] from the lineage of my uncle Zayd will rise from Yemen."[3] There are different names for Al-Yamani in different traditions, such as "Hassan", "Hussein", "Saeed", "Mansour", and "Nasr". Muhammad, prophet of Islam, called him "Nasr" because he will come before Imam al-Mahdi.[4] In some sources, Al-Yamani is mentioned as someone who invites people to the Imam al-Mahdi.[5] Additionally, some sources call Al-Yamani "Mansour" and that he will assist Muhammad al-Mahdi in battle.[4]

Appearance of Yamani

In Shia theology, five signs are guaranteed to occur before Imam al-Mahdi’s appearance. One of them is the appearance of al-Yamani, the ruler of Yemen, who will invite people to right and truth. Ja'far al-Sadiq states the five signs that will occur before Imam al-Mahdi's appearance include: the appearance of

Beyda.[6] In another Hadith, Muhammad al-Sadiq says that Yamani appears from Yemen with a white flag.[7]

Time and place of the appearance

Yamani will rise up from Yemen.

Ali al-Ridha said, "[t]he rise of Sufyani, Yemeni, and Khorasani will be at the same year, month, and day. Trouble will rise from every direction. Woe to those who try to resist them!"[4][11] Yamani's appearance will occur during the month of Rajab.[12] Some sources suggest that Yamani and Khurasani will be allied against Sufyani.[13][14]

The conclusion of the appearance

While traditions provide few details about the conclusion of Yamani's appearance, a hadith by Muhammad al-Sadiq is said, "[a]fter the numerous wars and failures, he will crush the Sufyani and kill him."[7]
