Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

There will be temptations like pieces of the dark night, one after the other. They will come to you like the faces of cows, and you will not know which one is from what.

When time draws near, honor will overwhelm you with temptations like pieces of a dark night

Yes, whichever household, whether Arab or non-Arab, for whom Allah intends good, He will enter Islam upon them. Then there will be tribulations as if they were shadows. Indeed, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, then you will return therein as black as youth, striking the necks of one another.

At the hands of the Hour there is temptation like pieces of a dark night. A man will be a believer in the evening and become an unbeliever, and he will be a believer in the morning and be a disbeliever in the evening. Someone will sell his religion for a small offer of this world.

There will be tribulations in my nation until a man is separated from his father and brother, until a man is reproached for his calamity just as an adulteress is reproached for her adultery.
