The Prophet (sa) said:
“Even if faith ascended to the Pleiades, a man from among the Persians would surely bring it back.”
— Sahih al-Bukhari, Musnad Ahmad, Tirmidhi
Arabic:
“لَوْ كَانَ الإِيمَانُ عِندَ الثُّرَيَّا لَنَالَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ فَارِسَ”

“لَوْ كَانَ الإِيمَانُ عِندَ الثُّرَيَّا لَنَالَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ فَارِسَ”
This Hadith refers to a spiritual revival when Islam would be in decline.
The Prophet (sa) specifies a man from Persia—rajulun min Faris—would restore lost faith.
This cannot refer to the Sahaba, who were already present.
It refers to a future divinely guided reformer.

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, claimed fulfillment of this prophecy.
He was of Persian descent, born in India, from a family tracing its lineage to Persian ancestry (Farisī Nasab).

He wrote:
“It has been prophesied that the Promised Messiah will be of Persian descent… hence, this Hadith is a testimony from the Holy Prophet (sa) for my truthfulness.”

“The one who was to come and bring back faith from the Pleiades is none other than me. I am that man from among the Persians.”

This Hadith also aligns with others:
“Black banners will rise from the East… nothing will stop them until they reach Jerusalem.”
— Sunan Ibn Majah, 4082–4084
Persian lands lie east of Arabia — Khorasan includes parts of Iran, Afghanistan, etc.

No other claimant in history, whether Arab or non-Arab, has fulfilled:
•A divine claim
•Persian descent
•Spiritual revival
•Peaceful Messiah-like mission
•Restoration of faith in modern times
—all as clearly as Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as).

Neither Ahmed al-Hassan nor Abdullah Hashem are of Persian descent—disqualifying them from fulfilling the Hadith where the Prophet (sa) foretold that a man from Persia would revive the faith when it had risen to the Pleiades.

Ahmadi Muslims believe this Hadith is a living sign.
The revival of Islam in the latter days was foretold by the Prophet (sa) — and fulfilled by the Promised Messiah and Mahdi from the East, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as)
