Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdullah Al-Amri, on the authority of Al-Qasim bin Muhammad, on the authority of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to a people from the people of Egypt: “If a letter comes to you from the East reading to you: From Abdullah, Commander of the Faithful, then wait for another letter to come to you from the West, reading to you: From Abdullah Abdul Rahman, Commander of the Faithful. By the One in whose hand is Hudhayfah’s soul, you and they will fight at the bridge, and he will expel you from the land of Egypt and the land of The Levant is blasphemy, blasphemy, and the Arab woman will be sold on the steps of Damascus for twenty-five dirhams.”
