Most Sunni scholars believe that the word "Mawla" (Arabic: مَولی) in this hadith does not mean "guardian" nor "prior in making decision for" and rather it means "friend and assistant". Scholars such as al-Taftazani,^[84] Fakhr al-Din al-Razi,^[85] Qadi Iji and al-Jurjani^[86] claim that "Mawla" cannot mean "guardian" and "prior in making decision for".

They also argue that,

Murder of the Pure Soul or Qatl al-Nafs al-Zakīyya (Arabic: قتل النفس الزكية) is the murder of a person called "al-Nafs al-Zakiyya" (the Pure Soul), which is, according to Shiite hadiths, a decisive sign of the Reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a). The event is going to happen after the Reappearance and fifteen days and nights before the Uprising of Imam al-Mahdi (a) in al-Masjid al-Haram. He is from the progeny of Imam al-Husayn (a).

Heavenly Cry (Arabic: الصيحة) is among the signs before the Reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a). This call is made by Gabriel and will be heard from the sky. The message in this call has been mentioned in different ways: giving glad news about the Reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a), his description, and the rightfulness of Shi'a. At the end of the same day, Satan will try to make doubts in people using a similar call. Hadiths regarding the Heavenly Cry are mutawatir, but they have mentioned different times for it.

The Uprising of al-Yamānī or al-Qaḥṭānī (Arabic:خروج اليماني او القحطاني), one of the signs of Imam al-Mahdi's (a) return, refers to the uprising of a Yemeni man from the descendants of Imam al-Husayn (a) prior to the reappearance of the Twelfth Imam (a). The uprising, according to some hadith, occurs simultaneously with the revolt of al-Sufyani and the Uprising of al-Sayyid al-Khurasani. Al-Yamani calls people to Imam al-Mahdi (a) and fights with al-Sufyani.

Since the first/seventh century, a number of people have claimed to be al-Yamani, such as Abd al-Rahman b. Muhammad al-Kindi who revolted against al-Hajjaj b. Yusuf, and Ahmad b. Isma'il al-Basri known as Ahmad al-Hasan.

Imamate (Arabic: الإمامة), from Shi'a point of view, is the leadership of the Islamic society, designated by God to succeed the Prophet (s) in all religious and worldly affairs. . The importance of this principle among Shi'a led them to be titled as Imamiyya.

Sunni narrative sources have reported numerous hadiths about the Mahdi and the savior of the apocalypse, which some of the great Sunni traditions, such as Abari Shafi'i, Abdul Haq Dehlavi, [1] Sefarini, [1] and Shokani [1], have stated to be more consistent. Sunnis believe in the existence of a "Mahdi" following these traditions. The most important features of the Sunni and Shiite beliefs in this regard are: He is a descendant of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and is named after them and will be called the "Mahdi". He establishes all over the world just as the earth's cruelty and with him Jesus comes back to earth

Imam, Imam al-Mahdi (a), was disappeared. The occultation occurred with the permission and will of God and is one of the basic and mandatory teachings of the Twelver Shi'a sect. Various reasons have been provided for the occultation in Hadiths one of which is testing the Shi'a. The time of Twelfth Imam's absence 1079 Year and 8 Month and 10 Day

Fāṭima (a) (Arabic: فاطِمَة) commonly known as Fāṭima al-Zahrā (a) فاطِمَة الزهراء) (d. 11/632) was the daughter of the Prophet (s) of Islam (a) and Lady Khadija (a) and the wife of Imam Ali (a). She is one of the People of the Cloak and, in Twelver Shiite belief, one of the Fourteen Infallibles. The second and third Imams, as well as Lady Zaynab (a), were her children. Al-Zahra', al-Batul, Sayyidat Nisa' al-'Alamin and Umm Abiha are among her epithets. She was the only lady chosen by the Holy Prophet (a) to be part of the Mubahala with the Christians of Najran.
