Once you see black-banners, hold on to the soil. Do not move your hands and feet: THEIR HEARTS ARE HARD LIKE IRON PIECES. THEY HAVE THEIR STATE. THEY WILL NOT KEEP ANY WORD OR PROMISE. THEY WILL CALL TO THE RIGHT BUT THEY ARE NOT THE PEOPLE OF THE RIGHT. THEIR NAMES WILL HAVE PERSONAL RECORD. THEY WILL BE CALLED ACCORDING TO THEIR HOMETOWN. THEIR HAIR WILL BE DROOPY LIKE WOMEN’S HAIR. THEY DISSENT AMONG THEMSELVES. THEN GOD WILL GRANT THE RIGHT TO WHOMEVER HE WISHES. (Nu’aym ibn Hammad, al-Fitan)
…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)
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)
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)
