Seyed Khorasani (Arabic: ٱلسَّيِّد ٱلْخُرَاسَانِي, romanized: As-Sayyid Al-Khurāsānī) is an Islamic leader whose rising is an essential part of Islamic eschatology.^[1] According to Al-Fadl ibn Shadhan of Neyshabur, in an authentic document from Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, al-Khorasani is one of the townspeople of Samarkand,^[2] and he is considered to be amongst the assistants of the Mahdi.^[3][4]

According to the hadith(s), Al-Khorasani has a spot on his right hand.^[5] It is predicted that he will to move to Kufah with Sufyani at one common day,^[6] and then defeat the Sufyani's army with his own army.^[7]

His rising is predicted to be commenced from the east of the Earth. With regards to al-Khorasani, ahadith was narrated from the Islamic prophet Muhammad saying:^{[8][9][10][11][12]}

A group from Mashriq is going to rise, and will provide the way for the rule of the Mahdi.

It is predicted that after defeating the Sufyani's army in Iraq, al-Khorasani will swear allegiance to al-Mahdi.^[13]

The rising of al-Khorasani,^[14] or the movement of the Black Standard from the side of Khorasan,^[15][16] is considered to be among the signs of the appearance of the Mahdi.^[17][18][19]

Imam as-Sadiq was reported saying:^[20]

Coming out of three groups "Sufyani, Khorasani and Yamani" will be in: a year, a month, and a day.

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 three places:

• A part of the current country of Iran which starts from the Zagros Mountains, towards Herat in present-day Afghanistan
• The areas around Khorasan, which its rulers had ruled.
• The ancient name (2nd century AD-1893AD) of a large area in Central Asia compromising modern-states of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, half of Uzbekistan, parts of Turkmenistan and the eastern part of the modern Iranian state. Persian-speakers in Central Asia still consider themselves as Khorasanis, particularely Tajiks and Hazaras.
