The hadith of black banners, a group of prophetic sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, describes an army emerging from Khorasan (or the east) bearing black flags, typically preceding the appearance of the Mahdi. Some interpretations suggest this army will eventually reach Jerusalem, according to one hadith in Sunan at-Tirmidhi 2269. The hadith also mentions the appearance of the Dajjal, a deceitful messiah, and that the black banners will be raised as a sign of the end times, according to some interpretations.
