Hadith 1
عن رسول الله (ص):
(يحكم الحجاز رجل اسمه اسم حيوان ، إذا رأيته حسبت في عينه الحول من البعيد ، وإذا اقتربت منه لاترى في عينه شيئاً ، يخلفه أخ له اسمه عبدالله. ويل لشيعتنا منه ، أعادها ثلاثاً ؛ بشروني بموته أبشركم بظهور الحجة )
مئتان وخمسون علامة: 122
From Rasulollah (pbuhaf):
Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) will be ruled by a man whose name is the name of an animal, when you see him from a distance, you would think he has a lazy eye, and if you get close to him, you do not see anything (wrong) in his eyes. He will be succeeded by a brother of his, named Abdullah. Woe to our Shia (followers) from him! Woe to our Shia (followers) from him! Woe to our Shia (followers) from him! - he repeated it three times - Give me the good news of his death, and I shall give you the good news of the appearance of the hujjah (Imam Mahdi).

Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) will be ruled by a man whose name is the name of an animal
The king with the name of animal - is King Fahad (Cheetah/Leopard).
when you see him from a distance, you would think he has a lazy eye, and if you get close to him, you do not see anything (wrong) in his eyes.
Indeed:

He will be succeeded by a brother of his, named Abdullah.
After his death - his brother Abdullah became king (he is the current king).
Give me the good news of his death, and I shall give you the good news of the appearance of the hujjah (Imam Mahdi).
Hadith 2
سمعت أبا عبدالله (ع) ، يقول : من يضمن لي موت عبدالله أضمن له القائم ، ثم قال : إذا مات عبدالله لم يجتمع الناس بعده على أحد ، ولم يتناه هذا الأمر دون صاحبكم إن شاء الله ، ويذهب ملك السنين ، ويصير ملك الشهور والأيام، فقلت : يطول ذلك ؟ قال : كلا
بحار الأنوار- ج 52: 21
From Abi Baseer who heard from Imam Sadiq (pbuhaf):
Whoever guarantees for me the death of Abdullah, I will guarantee for him the Qa’im (Imam Mahdi).
When Abdullah dies, then people will not gather/agree on anyone after him, and this matter will not except for your companion (Imam Mahdi) inshallah, and the kingdom of years will be over, and it will become the kingdom of months and days.
So I asked: Will that be prolonged? He said: No.
Biharul Anwar, Volume 52, page 21
Whoever guarantees for me the death of Abdullah, I will guarantee for him the Qa’im (Imam Mahdi).
King Abdullah’s death = Appearance of Imam Mahdi - guaranteed!
When Abdullah dies, then people will not gather/agree on anyone after him
Self explanatory. The people will not agree on who is to be king - meaning there will be trouble.
and this matter will not except for your companion (Imam Mahdi) inshallah
After Abdullah, the kingdom/ruler ship will be for Imam Mahdi (pbuhaf) inshallah.
and the kingdom of years will be over, and it will become the kingdom of months and days.
After Abdullah’s death, and before Imam Mahdi finally takes control, there will be a period of chaos in which rulers come and go - ruling only months or weeks or days!
So I asked: Will that be prolonged? He said: No.
The period of chaos will be short, and Imam Mahdi’s appearance will be very soon after the death of Abdullah!
(when he was alive)
