What is the sign of imam Mahdi when he emerges?

The sixteenth is, uncovering 示Am墨r al-Mu示min墨n鈥檚 Mus’haf [1]. After the decease of the Messenger of God (pbuh &h), it was collected by His Majesty [示Am墨r al-Mu示min墨n鈥檚]; without any change and distortion. Also it contains all, that was sent to the Prophet (pbuh&h) [by God] through miracle.

But after completion; when his Majesty provided it to the Sahabi [2], they ignored it. Therefore, His Majesty hid it, and it will remain hidden until The Excellency [Im膩m Mahd墨 (mgehr)] uncovers it.

There, people will be expected to read and memorize it. And since it has a difference with the existing Mus’haf that people are familiar with, [just] in the order [of Verse], it would be a hard [ and of importance] duty for the followers to memorize it.

The seventeenth is, a white cloud will cast its shadow over The Excellency鈥檚 head. There, a herald cries out from within the cloud, 鈥楬e is Mahd墨 (mgehr), of Prophet Muhammad (pbu &h)鈥檚 descent! He will fill the world with justice, after it is filled with oppression鈥. And it is heard by humans and angles, and whoever is in the east or west. Mind that, the 鈥淐all out鈥 in that phrase is different from the one, mentioned in the part 鈥淔ourteen鈥.

The Eighteenth is, Angels and Jinn will take part in The Excellency鈥檚 Army.

They will emerge to help him the nineteenth is that, duration of the time, spinning day and night, and The rotation of the celestial sphere, have had no effect on the power, temperament, limbs, strength, face and glory of His Excellency [Mahd墨 (mgehr)]. The Excellency is one thousand and ninety five years old now. Well, just God knows how old he will be at the time of his emergence. He will look young, as a thirty or forty- year- old man.

[Read these verses:]

鈥溫з愘嗁戀 诰匕丕 亘賻毓賿賱賶 卮賻蹖賿禺丕 鈥 (Surah Hud, Verse 72),

and She said, She said: 鈥淎las for me! shall I bear a child, seeing I am an old woman, and my husband here is an old man? That would indeed be a wonderful thing!鈥

鈥溫з愘嗁戀 賵賻诰賻賳賻 丕賱賿毓賻馗賿賲購 賲賽賳賾賶 賵賻丕卮賿鬲賻毓賻賱賻 丕賱乇賾賻丕亍賿爻購 卮賻蹖賿亘賻丕 (Surah Maryam [Mary], Verse 4),

Praying, 鈥淥 my Lord! infirm indeed are my bones, and the hair of my head doth

glisten with grey: but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in my prayer to Thee!鈥

Unlike him, one [prophet (pbuh) was overshadowed by aging, and the other lamented his weakness!

Shaykh Sadooq narrated from Abusalt Herawi [3], that he said:

[Once,] I asked The Excellency, Im膩m Ri岣嵞 (pbuh), 鈥What is the sign of Your Q膩鈥檌m (mgehr) when he emerges?鈥 He stated, 鈥楾he sign is, although he is in his old hood, he looks so young that the people think that

The twentieth is, the horror and animosity will disappear among animals, and also between humans and animals. Yet, the hostility will disappear in such a way that, it was before Habel was killed.

Amir al Mu示min墨n (pbuh) stated:

When our Q膩鈥檌m (mgehr) emerges, Peace is established between predators and beasts. Also it is established between animals and humans; in such a way that, women walk on the grasses, in Iraq and Sh膩m [streets]. They wear their adornment, but they will not be shocked or terrified by predator.
