THE MAHDI'S BANNER
The Mahdi's ban ner will be our Prophet's (saas) ban -
ner:
He will emerge with the Prophet's (saas) wool en ban -
ner. This ban ner is four-cor nered and unstitched, black,
and has a halo on it. Unopened since the Prophet's
(saas) death, it will be unfurled when the Mahdi appears.
(Al-Suyuti, Portents of the Mahdi, p. 22)
Other had iths describe the Mahdi's ban ner's fea -
tures:
It is cer tain that in the end times, an indi vid u al called
the Mahdi will come from the fur thest part of the land
of the Maghrib. Helpers will walk for forty miles before
him. His ban ners are white and yel low, fea tures stripes,
and bear the great name of Allah. No unit under his ban -
ner can be defeat ed.
(Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi, p. 438)
"Allegiance is to Allah" is writ ten on the Mahdi's ban -
ner.
(Al-Suyuti, Portents of the Mahdi, p. 65)
As well as his ban ner, had iths also draw atten tion to
the city that he will con quer and plant his ban ner in
Constantinople (present-day Istanbul):
