He will continue towards Iraq; and he will win at the battle against Sufyani and will eventually Khorasani will swear allegiance with the Mahdi.[17]

The movement of the Black Standard from the side of Khorasan is considered among the signs of Mahdi appearance.[18][19][20] It has been mentioned in the traditions (hadiths) that "you ought to have the expectation of Faraj from three things":

• Establishment of differences between the ones who are from Shaam, for the things which is between them;
• Fear/bewilderment in the month of Ramadan.[21]
• Movement of black flags from Khorasan;

Khorasan can relate to two places:

• A part of the current country of Iran which is started from Zagros Mountains and is still a part of Herat in Afghanistan
• The areas/lands where are around Khorasan, that Khorasan's rulers had ruled at those areas.
