“Abulfazl YahyÄ Ibn-SalÄmah” was from Shafe’ei sect and one of prominent scholars of sixth century [deceased 551 AH], who was probably the first Sunnite that expressed his believes in poem format about Imams (pbu th); specially Imam Mahdi (hgr).

Among his poets [are these verses]:

Oh you! Who ask me about the Ahl Al-Bayt’s[1] kindness

Jabir ibn Samorah said: I heard that prophet Muhamad (pbu h & h) stated
“If twelve men[ 12 Shia’ s imams] rule the people, the people affairs will be continuously desired and desirable.”
Then he (pbu h &h) stated a phrase which I hadn’t heard up to that time.
My father said,†He (pbu h &h) stated ‘All of them [twelve men] are from Quraysh tribe.’
