Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-1129b
" عَنْ عَلىٍّ قَالَ: إِذَا بَعَثَ السُّفْيَانِىُّ إِلَى الْمَهْدِىِّ جَيْشًا فَخُسِفَ بِهِم بِالبَيْدَاءِ، وبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَهْلَ الشَّامِ قَالوا لخليفتهمْ: قَدْ خَرَجَ الْمَهْدِىُ فَبَايعْهُ وَادْخُلْ فِى طَاعَتِهِ وَإلَّا قَتَلْنَاكَ، فَيُرْسِلُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْبَيْعَةِ وَيَسيرُ الْمَهْدِىُ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ، وَتُنْقلُ إِلَيْهِ الْخَزَائِنُ وَيَدْخُلُ الْعَرَبُ، والْعَجَمُ، وَأَهْلُ الْحَرْبِ، والرُّومُ وَغَيرُهُمْ فِى طَاعَتِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ قِتَال، حَتَّى تُبْنَى الْمَسَاجِدُ بِالْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةِ وَمَا دُونَهَا، وَيَخْرُجُ قَبْلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَيَحْمِلُ السَّيْفَ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ ثَمَانيَةَ أَشْهُر يَقْتُلُ وَيُمَثِّلُ وَيَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَلاَ يَبْلُغُهُ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ ".

"From Ali, he said: When al-Sufyani sends an army to the Mahdi and it is swallowed up in the desert, and this reaches the people of Syria, they will say to their caliph: The Mahdi has emerged, so pledge allegiance to him and enter his obedience, or else we will kill you. He will send to him the pledge of allegiance, and the Mahdi will march until he descends at Bayt al-Maqdis. Treasures will be brought to him, and the Arabs, the non-Arabs, the people of war, the Romans and others will enter his obedience without fighting, until mosques are built in Constantinople and what lies beyond it. Before him a man from his family will emerge in the East, carrying the sword on his shoulder for eight months, killing and mutilating, and he will head toward Bayt al-Maqdis but will not reach it until he dies."
