Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: “The Mahdi will emerge from Mecca after the eclipse with three hundred and fourteen men, equal to the number of the people of Badr, and he and the companion of the Sufyani army will meet, and the Mahdi’s companions will meet on that day their Paradise Al-Barada’, meaning their terrace. It was called before that: the Day of Al-Barada’, and it is said: On that day he will hear a voice from the sky calling out: Indeed, the guardians of Allah are the companions of so-and-so, meaning the Mahdi, so the plan will be on The companions of the Sufyani, and they fight, and nothing remains of them except the fugitive, and they flee to the Sufyani and inform him, and the Mahdi goes out to the Levant, and the Sufyani receives the Mahdi with his pledge of allegiance, and people rush to him from every direction, and the earth will be filled with justice as it was filled with injustice.”

Al-Mahdi will pledge allegiance to seven scholarly men who went to Mecca from different parts of the world without an appointment. Three hundred and twelve men have pledged allegiance to each of them. They gather in Mecca and pledge allegiance to him, and Allah pours His love into the hearts of the people. He leads them along, and he turns to those who pledged allegiance to the horses of the Sufyani. On them is a man of crime. When he leaves Mecca behind his companions and walks in a loincloth and robe until the crime comes, he pledges allegiance to him, and a dog will regret his pledge of allegiance. Then he will come to him and pledge allegiance to him and he will dismiss him, then he will mobilize his armies to fight him and defeat him, and Allah will defeat the Romans at his hands, and Allah will remove the temptations at his hands and descend on the Levant.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us ، About Jarrah ، About Artaat ، He said: “Al-Sakhri enters Kufa ، Then he will be informed of the appearance of the Mahdi in Mecca ، Then a delegation will be sent to him from Kufa ، It will be destroyed and none of them will be saved except a herald of the Mahdi ، A rocky portent ، The Mahdi will arrive from Mecca ، Al-Sakhri is from Kufa towards the Levant ، As if they were betting horses ، It is preceded by rocky ، Then another mission will be sent from the Levant to the Mahdi ، They will meet the Mahdi in the land of Hijaz ، They pledge allegiance to him as a pledge of guidance ، They continue with him until they reach the border of the Levant, which is between the Levant and the Hijaz ، And he resides there ، And it is said to him: Execute ، He hated Hijaz and said: Write to my cousin ، If he abandons his obedience, then I am your friend ، When the letter reached Al-Sakhri, he handed it over to him and pledged allegiance ، The Mahdi walked until he came to Jerusalem ، The Mahdi will not leave a portion of the land in the hands of a man from the Levant without returning it to the people of the Dhimmah ، He returned all Muslims to jihad ، He stays there for three years ، Then a man emerges from a dog called Kinana ، A planet helps him among a group of his people ، Until Al-Sakhri comes and says: We pledged allegiance to you and supported you, so that when you took power, you pledged allegiance to our enemy? Let them go out and fight ، He says: Who should I take out? He says: There is no longer an Amriya whose mother is older than you unless she joins you ، And no one with a shoe or a hoof will leave you behind ، He leaves and all of Amer leaves with him ، Until Besan comes down ، Al-Mahdi sends a banner to them ، The greatest banner in the time of the Mahdi was one hundred men ، They descend on Abraham's father ، So she describes her horses, her men, her camels, and her sheep ، If the two horses gloat ، Her dog is gone ، He took the stone and slaughtered it on the Safa, which lies on the face of the earth, near the church which is in the depths of the valley at the end of the stairs of Tur Zeta ، The bridge to the right of the valley on Al-Safa, which crosses the face of the earth ، It is slaughtered just as a sheep is slaughtered ، The one who is disappointed is the one who is disappointed on a dog’s day ، Until the virgin slave girl is sold for eight dirhams.”

He pledges allegiance to him, then the Mahdi returns to Mecca for three years, then a man emerges from a dog, and those who were in the land of Aram are forced out, so he marches to the Mahdi to Jerusalem with twelve thousand, and he takes Sufyani and kills him at the Gate of Jiron.
