Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

I am not better guided by any of your paths than I am by every temptation that exists and by its crowing and its leader until the Day of Resurrection.

I swear

There are not three hundred that come out unless you wish to name their driver and caller until the Day of Resurrection

Yes, yes, yes, and in it smoke people who follow other than my Sunnah and are guided by other than guidance. You recognize them and deny them. Yes, they are callers to the gates of Hell. Whoever responds to them, they will throw into it. They are from our skin, and they speak with our tongues.

Al-Walid told us, and Al-Awza’i told us, on the authority of Hassan bin Atiyah, on the authority of Hudhayfah, similar to that

My friends were learning good and I was learning evil, for fear that I would fall into it

Yes, and there is smoke in it, people of our race, who speak in our tongues, whether you recognize or deny it, are preachers at the gates of Hell. Whoever obeys them, they will be thrust into it.

Muhammad bin Shapur told us, on the authority of Al-Nu’man bin Al-Mundhir, on the authority of Makhul, on the authority of Hudhayfah, on the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ, and something like that.

Yes, a truce for those who preach misguidance. If you find a successor for Allah on that day, adhere to him

My nation will not perish until the differentiation, swaying, and nervous gestures that people after me bring about in Islam appear in Islam. The tribe leans against the tribe, and its sanctity becomes permissible unjustly as the lands move towards one another, so their necks differ in war like this. That is if the common people are corrupted and the private ones are reformed. Blessed is the man who Allah has set right his own.

There was nothing among the children of Israel that did not exist in you

Muhammad bin Yazid told us, on the authority of Abu Khalda, on the authority of Abu Al-Aliyah, he said: “When Tastar was opened, we found in Al-Hurmuzan’s treasury a Qur’an at the head of a dead person on a bed, and he said: It is Daniel according to what he reckons. He said: So we carried it to Omar, for I was the first of the Arabs to read it, so he sent to Ka’b and he copied it in Arabic. It contains what is happening, meaning of temptations.”

The interpretation of these has not yet come. Allah sent down the Qur’an wherever He revealed it. Some of them are verses that were interpreted before it was revealed. Some of them are verses that their interpretation occurred during the time of the Prophet, ﷺ. Some of them include verses that their interpretation occurred shortly after the Prophet, ﷺ. Some of them include verses that their interpretation will occur after today, and some of them mean that their interpretation will occur on the Day of Judgment. And that is what was mentioned about the Reckoning, Paradise, and Hell.

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us, on the authority of Ibn Jabir, Ibn Thuban, and Uthman bin Abi Al-Atika, on the authority of Umair bin Hani, he said: Shaykhs of ours who witnessed Siffin told us, they said: We came to Jabal Al-Judi and found Abu Hurairah, and we met him holding his hands, one by the other, behind his back, leaning on the mountain, remembering Allah Almighty. So we greeted him, and he returned our greetings, so we said: Tell us about this trial, and he said: “In it you will be victorious.” Your enemy, then he said: There will be a trial that will then be like water in honey, and it will leave you with little remorse.”

The Hour will not come until you see great things that you did not see and that you do not speak to yourselves

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir, on the authority of Damrah bin Habib, on the authority of Salamah bin Nufayl, (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, saying: “You will tarry after me until you say: When? And you will come in ruins, annihilating one another, and before the Hour there will be two severe deaths, and after it will be years of earthquakes.”

Every twenty years you will be in a different state than you were in

But it exists and its interpretation has not yet come

As for you, you will not see anything from this world except calamity and temptation, and the matter will only increase in severity, and you will not see something that terrifies you or is difficult for you except that it will be degraded after it by something even worse than it.

Ask me, for by Allah, do not ask me about a group that went out to fight a hundred, or guide a hundred, unless I inform you of its driver, its leader, and its caller, what is between you and the Day of Judgment.

Mu’awiyah said:“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘There is nothing left of this world except trials and tribulations.’”

Not a year comes upon you that is not worse than the last

The people of Islam will be afflicted with calamity and the people around them will be terrified, to the point that a Muslim will return as a Jew or Christian due to the effort.

Narrated `Abdullah and Abu Musa:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which Religious ignorance will spread, knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and there will be much Al-Harj, and Al- Harj means killing

Nothing comes to you that you are upset about, but something else comes to you to distract you from it
