Once we were with the Messenger of Allah [sallallahu alayhi wa-sallam], when a group of youths from Banu Hashim approached. When the Prophet [sallallahu alayhi wasallam] saw them, his eyes filled with tears and his colour changed. He [i.e. Ibn Masud] said: I said: We see in your face something that worries us. So he said: We, the Ahl al-Bayt, are a people for whom Allah has chosen the hereafter over this world. And my household after me will face trials, banishment and pursuit, until a people from the East come with black banners, and they will ask for what is due, but not be given it. So they will fight and be victorious, and be given what they asked for. But they will not accept it from them until they hand it over to a man from my household, who will fill the earth with equity, as they had filled it with tyranny. So whoever among you reaches that time, then let him go to them, even if he must crawl over ice, for he is the Mahdi.
