Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Rushdin told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, he said: Abu Zur’ah told me, on the authority of Abdullah bin Zurair, on the authority of Ammar bin Yasser, (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “If he kills the pure soul and his brother, he will be killed in Mecca in an estate, and a herald will call from the sky: Your prince is so-and-so, and that is the Mahdi who will fill the earth with truth and justice.”

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid al-Tanukhi, on the authority of al-Zuhri, he said: “If the Sufyani and the Mahdi meet to fight on that day, a voice will be heard from the sky: Indeed, the saints of Allah are the companions of so-and-so,” meaning the Mahdi. Al-Zuhri said: Asma’ bint Umays said: The sign of that day is that a palm from the sky will be a pendant for the people to look at.
