Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

There are six times before the Hour, the first of which is my death, then the conquest of Jerusalem, then a place that my nation will descend from the Levant, then a trial will fall upon you. No Arab house will remain without entering it, then the Romans will make peace with you.

I warn you of seven trials that will come after me: a trial that will come from Medina, a trial from Mecca, a trial that will come from Yemen, a trial that will come from the Levant, a trial that will come from the East, a trial that will come from the West, and a trial that will come from the interior of the Levant, which is the trial of the Sufyani.

Yahya bin Saeed Al-Attar narrated to us, on the authority of Dirar bin Amr, on the authority of Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abi Farwa, on the authority of the one who told him, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “After me there will come to you four trials: the first in which blood will be made permissible, the second in which blood and wealth will be permissible, the third in which blood, wealth, and chickens will be permissible, and the fourth will be deaf, blind, constricted, the passing of the waves in the sea, so that no one can find Among the people there is a refuge in it, it circumambulates the Levant, covers Iraq, and tramples the island hand and foot, and the nation is afflicted there with affliction to the point of perpetuity, and then none of the people can say in it: “Mah, mah,” and then they do not know it from one side unless it is torn apart from the other side.”

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us, on the authority of Abd al-Jabbar bin Rashid al-Azdi, on the authority of his mother, on the authority of Rabi’ah al-Qasir, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “There will be three tribulations like yours departing: a tribulation that will take place in the Levant, then the eastern one, the destruction of kings, then the western one will follow, and he mentioned the yellow flags. He said: and the western ones are the blind ones.”
