PART I

The Original Prophecy of Double Eclipse Ramadhan

Narrated by 'Amr son of Shamer quoting Jabir, who quoted Mohammed bin 'Ali (Imam Mohammed al Baqir):

"For our Mahdi, there are two signs. Since the birth of Universe, these events have never taken place. Those two signs are that there will be Lunar Eclipse on the first night of Ramadhan and Solar Eclipse in the middle of Ramadhan. (Dar-e-Qatni, vol 1 p.188)

There are two points worth noting:

The tradition mentioned above is a quotation of Imam Mohammed al Baqir bin 'Ali and not the Hadith of Holy Prophet Mohammed SAAW. For the last several centuries, Islamic Scholars of Hadiths (muhadditheens) have always maintained that the two narrators, 'Amr and Jabir, of this tradition are known to be liars. This tradition is therefore not to be relied upon.
