حدثنا عبد الله بن وهب، عن ابن لهيعة، عن فلان المعافري، سماه ابن وهب قال: سمعت أبا فراس، قال: سمعت عبد الله بن عمرو، يقول
علامة خروج المهدي خسف يكون بالبيداء بجيش، فهو علامة خروجه
The sign of the Mahdi’s emergence will be an eclipse in Al-Bayda with an army, which is a sign of his emergence
حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله التيهرتي، عن عبد السلام بن مسلمة، عن أبي قبيل، قال
لا يفلت منهم أحد إلا بشير ونذير، فأما البشير فإنه يأتي المهدي بمكة وأصحابه فيخبرهم بما كان من أمرهم، ويكون شاهد ذلك في وجهه قد حول وجهه في قفاه، فيصدقونه لما يرون من تحويل وجهه، ويعلمون أن القوم قد خسف بهم، والثاني مثل ذلك قد حول وجهه إلى قفاه، يأتي السفياني فيخبره بما أنزل بأصحابه فيصدقه ويعلم أنه حق لما يرى فيه من العلامة، وهما رجلان من كلب
No one escapes from them except a good tidings and a warner. As for the good tidings, he comes to the Mahdi in Mecca and his companions and informs them of what happened to them, and the witness of that is in his face with his face turned to his back, and they believe him when they see the turning of his face, and they know that the people have been eclipsed by them, and the second is like that, he has turned his face to his back. The Sufyani comes and tells him what was revealed to his companions and he believes it and knows that it is true because of the sign he sees in it, and they are two men of a dog.
