N.B. Total Solar Eclipse 4th December, 2002

Reappearance of the Mehdi (a.s)- There will be both a solar and lunar eclipse in the month of Ramadan
but contrary to all norms and calculations.

al-Fadl b. Shadhan (reported) on the authority of Ahmad b.

Muhammad b. Abi Nasr , on the authority of Thalaba al-Azdi,

who said:
Abu Jafar (al-Baqir), peace be on him, said: "Two signs will come
before the one who will arise (al-qa'im), peace be on him: there will be
 an eclipse of the sun in the middle of the month of Ramadan and an
eclipse of the moon at the end of it."
"Son of the Apostle of God," I said, "usually the eclipse of the sun
occurs at the end of the month and the eclipse of the moon occurs in
the middle of it?"
