Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

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.

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.”

If you see the yellow flags descending on Alexandria, then descending on the center of Syria, then a village in Damascus called Harasta will be eclipsed.

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
