He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] is a beautiful young man, with a beautiful face. THE LIGHT OF HIS FACE rises to his head and the blackness of his hair. (Ibrahim Suleymanoglu, Mehdilik ve Imamiye [Mahdism and Imamate], p. 153; Iqdud Durar)

The Prophet (saas) said: “Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a man of 40 from my line. His face is LIKE A STAR SHINING in the heavens.” (Ali Ibn Sultan Muhammad al-Qaari al-Harawi al-Hanafi, Risalat Mashrab al Vardi fi Mazhabi 'l Mahdi)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) is one of my children. His face is like a bright star. (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib fi Bayan Anna'l Mahdi min Awladi Ali b. Abu Talib Ale't-Tamam wa al-Qamal)
HE IS BEAUTIFUL OF FACE. THE LIGHT OF HIS COUNTENANCE BESTOWS GRANDEUR ON HIM. (Mari’ bin Yusuf Karami Hanbali, Fawaid Fawaid al-Fikr fil Mahdi al-Montazar)
