So, what is your need to him -saww ?’ فأخذ يحرك راسه ويقول: هو هو، فقال لهما: تدلاني عليه، فقالا: تركناه في سوق بصرى، فبيناهم في الكلام إذ طلع رسول الله صلى الله عليه واله، فقال: هو هذا، فخلا به ساعة يناجيه و يكلمه، ثم أخذ يقبل بين عينيه، وأخرج شيئا ” من كمه لا ندرى ما هو ورسول الله صلى الله عليه واله يأبى أن يقبله He grabbed his moving head and said, ‘Him -saww ! Him -saww !’ He said to them, ‘Will you point me to him -saww ’. They said, ‘We left him -saww in the markets of Basra’.

So, while they were in the speech when Rasool-Allah -saww emerged, and he said, ‘He is that one’. They left him alone with him -saww for a while, whispering to him -saww and speaking to him -saww , then he went on to kiss between his -saww eyes and brought something out from his sleeve, we don’t know what it was, and Rasool-Allah -saww refused to accept it.

By Allah -azwj ! This is the Prophet -saww of the end of times. By Allah -azwj ! He -azwj will be coming out very soon calling the people to the testimony that there is no god except Allah -azwj ’. So, when you see that, follow him -saww ’.

He said, ‘But he either happens to have been born or will be born during his -saww year. He -asws will be the first one to believe in him -saww .

We recognise him -asws , and we tend to find his -asws ascription with us with the successor-ship just as we tend to find the ascription of Muhammad -saww with the Prophet-hood.
