Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

If Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman comes to you from Morocco, you and they will fight at the bridge, and there will be seventy thousand dead among you, and they will expel you from the land of Egypt and the land of the Levant in blasphemy, and they will sell the Arab woman on the steps of Damascus for twenty-five dirhams. Then they will enter the land of Homs and stay for eighteen months, in which they will divide the money, and kill the male and female. Then an evil man will emerge against them from the canopy of the sky, and he will kill them and defeat them, until... He brings them into the land of Egypt

The people of the Maghreb will rule Homs for sixteen months. If the turmoil of the Maghreb breaks out, then head towards Yemen, for no other land will protect you from it.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “If the Berbers left and settled in Egypt, there would be two incidents between them: an encounter in Egypt, and an encounter in Palestine, and in between that until they descended on Homs, so woe to it from them. They would be struck by heavy snow for forty nights there, almost annihilating them, then they would open it and enter it, and they would exit from it between the west and the arch in the middle of the market, then they would travel from it and descend. By Lake Famiyeh or a farsang below it, then people go out against them and kill them. Their leader is a man from the descendants of Ismail. They are killed in a village called Umm al-Arab, then a rebel rises up and kills the freedom, takes captive the offspring, and rips open the stomachs of the women. He defeats the group twice, then he is destroyed. And you will slaughter a woman from the Quraysh, and in it the stomachs of any of the women of Bani Hashim will be ruptured.”

The people of Homs are the most wretched of the people of the Levant with Berbers

The people of the Levant converted to Islam, and the happiest of its soldiers with the yellow banners were the people of Damascus, and the most miserable of the people of the Levant and its soldiers were the people of Homs. They will flood the Levant as water floods a water bottle.

By the One in whose hand is my soul, the barbarians will destroy Homs in the last two battles, the last of which will remove the nails from the doors of its people, and they will have a confrontation in Palestine, then they will march from Homs to Lake Famieh or a league below it, and an outsider will emerge against them and kill them.

Abu Yusuf al-Maqdisi told us, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ubayd Allah, on the authority of Yazid ibn Sindi, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “When the west appears over Egypt, the interior of the earth on that day is better than its surface for the people of the Levant. Woe to the two soldiers: the soldiers of Palestine and Jordan, and the soldiers of the land of Homs, of Berbers striking with their swords at a door for perfume, and the companion of the west is a lame man from Kinda.”

Baqiyya told us, on the authority of Al-Ahmusi, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “The Berbers disembark from the galleys, then they go out with their swords and wait until they enter Homs, and I heard that their slogan on that day was: Oh Homs, oh Homs.”

If the Berbers leave Homs to Famiyah, Allah will deport them, and send a disease on their animals, so that nothing of them will remain except that they die. Then He exiles them with death and stomachs, so they flee to the east of the Black Mountain to hide there. Then the Muslims follow them and kill them with great slaughter, to the point that one man among them can kill seventy of them, or less than that, and only a few of them will escape.

Abdul Quddus told us, on the authority of Safwan, on the authority of his sheikh, he said: “The Romans who were in Homs feared the Berbers for it and said: Woe to you, O Tamra, from the Berbers,” meaning: “Woe to you, O Tamra, from the Berbers.”

If the black flags and the yellow flags meet in the middle of the Levant, the interior of the earth is better than its surface

Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us ، About Jarrah ، On the authority of Artat bin Al-Mundhir ، He said: “The Berbers come and camp between Palestine and Jordan ، Then the crowds of the East and Syria will march towards them until they stop the tax collector ، A man emerges from Weld Sakhr in weakness ، He throws the Moroccan armies on the Bisan fold and deters them from it ، Then he will meet them the next day and deter them from it ، They side with her ، Then he will meet them on the third day and drive them back to the spring of the wind ، Then the death of their leader comes to them, and they separate into three groups: one group turns back on its heels ، And a group joins the Hijaz ، A band follows Al-Sakhri ، He walks to the rest of their crowd until he comes to Thanyat Fayq ، And they meet her ، Vidal rocks them ، Then you turn to the masses of the East and the Levant and meet them ، He guides them between the reward and the waste ، Until the horses wade in blood ، The people of the Levant kill their president ، They side with Al-Sakhri, who enters Damascus and represents him there ، Banners will emerge from the East, blackened ، They descend on Kufa and their leader hides there ، He does not know his location ، And that army will rise ، Then a man who had been hidden in the depths of the valley comes out and is in command of that army ، Its main source was anger at what Al-Sakhri did to his family ، He marches with the soldiers of the East towards the Levant ، Al-Sakhri reaches his destination and heads the soldiers of the people of Morocco towards him ، They meet the mountain of pebbles ، A lot of world will perish between them ، And the Mashriqi leaves ، The rock follows it and overtakes it in Qarqesya at the complex of the two rivers and they meet ، Their patience exhausts them, and seven of the Levantine soldiers are killed out of every ten ، Then Al-Sakhri's soldiers entered Kufa and attacked its people ، He directs a soldier from the Maghreb to the soldiers from the East next to him ، Then they will bring him their captives ، Perhaps this is the case when the news of the Mahdi’s appearance in Mecca comes to him ، Then a delegation will be sent to him from Kufa, and he will be eclipsed by it.” Artah said: “And he will be between the people of the West and the people of the East at the bridge of Fustat for seven days.” ، Then they meet Al-Arish, and the people of the East will be defeated until they reach the Jordan ، Then the Sufyani will come out after them ، The Romans who were in Homs were afraid of the Berbers ، And they say: Woe to you, Tamra, from the Berbers.
