three days until half of shaaban
Umar Ibn Hanzala narrated :
Imam al-Sadiq (PBUH) said, "There are five definite signs before the rising of alQa'im, which are:
(the rising of) al-Yamani and al-Sufyani, the (heavenly) cry/call (by Gabriel which will be heard all over the world), the murder of Nafs al-Zakiyya, and the sink (of the Sufyani army) into (the land of) al-Baydaa (located between Mecca and (Medina).
Even for some of the definite signs, Allah reserves al-Badaa, andmay change those of the definite wills that are not categorized as His Sunan or His promises. For instance, Allah informed us through His Apostle (PBUHHF) that before the reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (PBUH), al-Sufyani would certainly rise. This is a definite will, but it is not necessarily categorized as a promise. It is an insisted future event meaning that it is extremely unlikely that Allah cancels His permission for the occurrence of this event, though it may still be possible. According to the following tradition, Allah may make Badaa even in such insisted news.
Dawud Ibn al-Qasim narrated:
We were with Imam al-Jawad (PBUH) when the issue of Sufyani was brought up and the traditions
which state that his advent is of the definite matters.
I asked Imam al-Jawad (PBUH), "Does Allah make Badaa in the definite matters?"
He (PBUH) replied, "Yes."
I said,"Then, we have a fear that Allah makes Badaa in (the reappearance of) al-Qa'im."
The Imam replied, "al-Qa'im is of the promises, and Allah does not break His promises
