A notice

The escape of the Mahdi from an unjust ruler and the imprisonment of his family. An evil and deceitful ruler demands him, so the Mahdi flees and kills one of his companions. And his brother, killed in Mecca in vain. It is narrated: "When the pure soul is killed, a crier will call from the sky, 'Your commander is so-and-so,' and this is the Mahdi who will fill the earth with justice and equity." And his family, young and old, will be taken, and no one will be left except they are taken and imprisoned. It is narrated: "The Sufyani and his companions will appear until they have no concern except for the family of Muhammad... and they will send an army to Medina, and men will be killed there, and the Mahdi and Al-Mansur will flee from it, and the family of Muhammad, young and old, will be taken, and no one will be left except they are imprisoned. And the army will go out in pursuit of the two men, and the Mahdi will emerge in the manner of Moses, fearful and watchful." This coincides with a dispute over the kingdom upon the death of a caliph. It is narrated: "Whoever guarantees me the death of Abdullah, I will guarantee him the coming of the Qa'im." Apparently, any king named Abdullah, this will be in the land of Hijaz, and a fight will occur after him among three from the house of one man over a treasure (oil), or over the House (the Kaaba), so the kingdom will not go to any of them. The Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, said: "At your treasure [at your house] three will fight, all of them sons of a caliph, and the kingdom will not go to any of them." And in another narration: "The kingdom will not go to any of them. Then black banners will come from the East, and they will kill them with a killing that no nation has killed before. Then the Caliph of God, the Mahdi, will come. When you hear of him, go to him and pledge allegiance to him, for he is the Caliph of God, the Mahdi." - 17 -
