hadith 414
(14) Ali bin Ahmad narrated from Obaydillah bin Musa al-Alawi from Abdullah bin Muhammad from Muhammad bin Khalid from al-Hasan bin al-Mubarak from Abu Iss’haq al-Hamadani from al-Harith al-Hamadani that Amirul Mo’mineen (as) had said
“Al-Mahdi (aj) will come from the east but before that as-Sufyani will rise in Sham. He (as-Sufyani) will rule for nine months only. All the people of Sham will submit to him except a very few believers, who will still keep to the truth and whom Allah preserves from following him. He will move towards Medina with a great army but when they reach the desert of Medina, Allah will make the desert sink with them. It is the saying of Allah in His holy Book, ‘And could you see when they shall become terrified, but (then) there shall be no escape and they shall be seized upon from a near place.’”
14 - أخبرنا علي بن أحمد، عن عبيد الله بن موسى العلوي، عن عبد الله بن محمد، قال: حدثنا محمد بن خالد، عن الحسن بن المبارك، عن أبي إسحاق الهمداني عن الحارث الهمداني، عن أمير المؤمنين
أنه قال: المهدي أقبل، جعد، بخده خال، يكون مبدؤه من قبل المشرق، وإذا كان ذلك خرج السفياني، فيملك قدر حمل أمرأة تسعة أشهر، يخرج بالشام فينقاد له أهل الشام إلاّ طوائف من المقيمين على الحق، يعصمهم الله من الخروج معه، ويأتي المدينة بجيش جرار حتى إذا انتهى إلى بيداء المدينة خسف الله به، وذلك قول الله في كتابه وَلَوْ تَرَىٰ إِذْ فَزِعُوا فَلَا فَوْتَ وَأُخِذُوا مِنْ مَكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ {51}
