Narrated from (Naim ibn Hammad) Saib ibn Musayyab.Our Prophet (saas) said: “BLACK BANNERS OF SON OF ABBAS APPEAR FROM THE EAST, once they proceed for a while, THEN THIS TIME SMALL BLACK BANNERS APPEAR AGAIN FROM EAST… (Imam Suyuti, 7.11)
... Once they proceed for a while, AGAIN FROM THE EAST, THIS TIME SMALL BLACK BANNERS APPEAR... (Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, The Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p.61, hadith no. 7.77)
They asked him: “What are these portents?” The appearance of black banners from Khorasan and fear in the month of Ramadan.” (Bihâr al-Anvâr, 14)
... THEY FIGHT AGAINST A MAN FROM THE LINEAGE OF ABU SUFYAN (BASHAR ASSAD)… (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 29)
BLACK BANNERS OF BEN-I ABBAS (IRAQ) appear…
(Nuaym bin Hammad,Qitab al-Fitan)
(Those with black banners) IN THEIR CITIES ON THE BANKS OF EUPHRATES, THEY WILL KILL THEM ON LAND AND IN THE SEA
(al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 327)
While they are in that situation, banners will come from Khorosan, THEY WILL ACT SWIFTLY. (al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 327)
They will come back from there with an army and will SEIZE Kufa and Basra IN ONE NIGHT… (Qitab al-Haft al-Sharif, p.174)
Once something is not presented to them, they will gain a victory by waging war and WHAT THEY DESIRE WILL BE PRESENTED TO THEM. (Meclisi, Bihar al-Anwar, v.51, p.87))
His (the commander of those with black banners) SOLDIERS’ HAIR AND MOUSTACHE WILL BE VERY LONG, their clothes are black and THEY ARE THE MEN OF THOSE WITH BLACK BANNERS. (al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 303)
God will send someone hard-hearted and whose lineage is not known and he will have victories. THEY WILL MASSACCRE THEM (those opposing them) WITHOUT MAKING ANY DIFFERENTIATION. (al-Ghaybah Nomani, p. 303)
THOSE WITH BLACK BANNERS appearing from Khorasan will COME DOWN TO KUFA…(Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, Ahir Zamân Mehdisinin Alametleri, p.61, hadith no. 7.12)
BLACK BANNERS will appear from Khorasan and, nothing will stop them, UNTIL THEY ARE RAISED IN AYLIYA (JERUSALEM). (Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, The Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p.61, hadith no. 7.3)
A great war occurs. Ultimately black banners gain victory. The forces of Sufyan run away. THEN PEOPLE WILL START TO ASK FOR MAHDI AND LOOK FOR HIM. (Hadith from the Compilation of Jalâleddin Suyuti, The Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p.61, hadith no. 7.26)
and THEY WILL COME UNDER THE OBEDIENCE OF MAHDI. (Imam Suyûtî)
But they won’t accept it and GRANT IT TO MAHDI (AS) WHO IS FROM MY LINEAGE…(Mejlisi, Bihar al-Anwar, v.51, p.87)
(Mehdi) has such a vast justice that, EVEN A SLEEPING PERSON IS NOT AWAKEN AND NOT A SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD IS SHED. (Mejlisî, Bihâr Al-Anvâr, v.51, p.87)
THE PARTIES OF A WAR LAY DOWN THEIR WEIGHS [THEIR ARMS ETC.] No enmity will remain among anyone. All enmities, fights, envies will absolutely disappear. (Imam Sharani, Death-Doomsday-Hereafter and the Portents of the End Times, p. 496)
