Hadith 310

(The book) ‘Al Irshad’ –
‘The Ahadeeth have come with the mentioned of the signs of the time of rising of Al-Qaim-ajfj Al-Mahdi-ajfj, and the event to transpire before his-ajfj rising, and the signs and the evidence(s) (pointers). From these is the emergence of Al-Sufyani, and killing of Al-Hasany, and differing of the Abbasids regarding the worldly kingdom, and like eclipse of the sun in the middle of a month of Ramazan, and eclipse of the moon in its end, upon opposite to the norm, and submergence of Al-Bayda, and a submergence in the west, and a submergence in the east, and stoppage of the sun from the midday to the middle of the timings of Al-Asr, and its rising from the west. And killing of Al-Nafs Al-Zakiya (the pure soul) at the back of Al-Kufa among seventy from the righteous ones, and slaughter of a Hashemite man between Al-Rukn (Al-Yamani) and Al-Maqam (Ibrahim-as), and demolishing of a wall of Masjid Al-Kufa, and the coming of the black flags from the direction of Khurasan, and emergence of Al-Yamani, and appearance of Al-Maghribi at Egypt, and he would be possessed (afflicted) by the moles, and descent of the Turks at the island, and the descent of Romans at Ramla. And the rising of a star in the east shining just as the moon shine, then it would turn until its two ends almost meet, and redness will appear in the sky and spread in its horizons, and fire will appear in the east for a long time and remain in the atmosphere for three days or seven days, and the Arabs will vacate their burdens and control the countries and exit them from the authority of the non-Arabs. And the people of Egypt would kill their commander, and Syria would be ruined, and three flags will dispute regarding it, and the flags of Qays and the Arabs will enter into Egypt, and the flags of Kinda into Khurasan, and the cavalry will arrive from the direction of the Arabs until they are tied in the courtyard of Al-Hira, and the black flags will come from the east towards it, and the Euphrates will burst forth until the water enters into the alleyways of Al-Kufa. And sixty liars will emerge, all of them claiming the Prophet-hood, and twelve from the progeny of Abu Tali
