کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: “The Mahdi will emerge from Mecca after the eclipse with three hundred and fourteen men, equal to the number of the people of Badr, and he and the companion of the Sufyani army will meet, and the Mahdi’s companions will meet on that day their Paradise Al-Barada’, meaning their terrace. It was called before that: the Day of Al-Barada’, and it is said: On that day he will hear a voice from the sky calling out: Indeed, the guardians of Allah are the companions of so-and-so, meaning the Mahdi, so the plan will be on The companions of the Sufyani, and they fight, and nothing remains of them except the fugitive, and they flee to the Sufyani and inform him, and the Mahdi goes out to the Levant, and the Sufyani receives the Mahdi with his pledge of allegiance, and people rush to him from every direction, and the earth will be filled with justice as it was filled with injustice.”
