" عَنْ عَلىٍّ قَالَ: الْمَهْدِى مَوْلِدُهُ بِالْمَدينَة مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ؛ واسْمُهُ اسْمُ نَبِىٍّ، وَمُهَاجَرُهُ بَيْتُ الْمَقْدِسِ، كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ، أَكْحَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، بَرَّاقُ الثَّنَايَا، في وَجْهِهِ خَالٌ. فِى كتِفِهِ عَلاَمَةُ النَّبِىِّ، يَخْرُجُ بِرايَة النَّبِىِّ ﷺ مِن مَرْطٍ مُعَلَّمَةٍ سَوْدَاءَ مُرَبَّعَةٍ فِيهَا حَجَرٌ لَمْ تُنْشَرْ مُنْذُ تُوُفِّى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَلاَ تُنْشَرُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ الْمَهْدِىُّ، يَمُدُّهُ الله بِثَلاَثَةِ آلاَفٍ مِنَ الْمَلاَئِكَةِ، يَضْرِبُونَ وجُوهَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ وَأَدْبَارَهُمْ، يبعَثُ وَهُوَ مَا بَيْنَ الثَّلاَثِينَ إِلَى الأَرْبَعِينَ ".

"From Ali, he said: The Mahdi's birthplace is Madinah, from the family of the Prophet ﷺ. His name is the name of a prophet, and his migration is to Bayt al-Maqdis. He has thick beard, kohl-dark eyes, bright front teeth, and a mole on his face. On his shoulder is the sign of the Prophet. He will emerge with the banner of the Prophet ﷺ from a cloth, a black square flag with a stone in it, which has not been unfurled since the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died and will not be unfurled until the Mahdi emerges. Allah will support him with three thousand angels, who will strike the faces and backs of those who oppose them. He will be raised up at between thirty and forty years of age."
