Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

By the One in whose hand is my soul, it will expand upon whoever of the Muslims comes to it just as the womb expands upon a child. A mountain in the land of the Levant, from Homs, on a river called Al-Arunt, so the descendants of the Muslims will be at the top of the neck, and the Muslims are on the Arunat River, and the polytheists behind the Arunat River will fight them morning and evening. When the owner of Constantinople sees this, he directs six hundred thousand across the land to Qinnasrin until seventy thousand come to them in Yemen. May Allah unite their hearts with faith, with them forty thousand. From Himyar, until they come to Jerusalem, and they fight the Romans and defeat them, and drive them out from one army to another, until they come to Qinnisrin and the material of the loyalists comes to them.

Far from, far from, by the One in whose hand is my soul, O Hudhayfah, write it down to six qualities. The first of them is my death, then the Holy House will be conquered, then after that there will be a strife in which two great factions will fight, in which there will be a lot of killing, and a lot of chaos in them. Their call is the same, then death will be imposed upon you and it will kill you in a lump just as sheep die, then money will increase and it will overflow until a man is called for a hundred dinars and he refuses to take it, then a boy will arise among the children of the yellow people. Their kings

He will be the Imam of the Muslims in Jerusalem, and he will be sent to Egypt and the people of Iraq, seeking them from them and not coming to him. His mail passes through the city of Homs, and he finds that its Persians have closed off the descendants of the Muslims there. This magnifies him, so he travels with the Muslims present with him until he meets them on the plain of Akka. He fights them, and Allah defeats them. The Muslims seek them until they join them in their country. He goes to Homs, and Allah conquers it at his hands.

The Romans descend on the plain of Acre, and conquer Palestine, the Jordan Valley, and Jerusalem, and they do not pass the Afiq Aqaba for forty days. Then the Imam of the Muslims marches on them and they capture them in the meadow of Acre, and they fight there until the blood reaches two horses, so Allah defeats them, and they kill them except a group that marches to Mount Lebanon, then to a mountain in the land of the Romans.

Naim told us, Al-Hakam bin Nafi told us, on the authority of Jarrah, on the authority of Artat, who said: “If the companion of Al-Adham appears in Alexandria and the land of Egypt, the Arabs will follow Yathrib and the Hijaz, and will emerge from the Levant, and each tribe will follow its people, and Allah will send an army to them. When they finish between the two islands, their herald calls: Let every honest person or intruder who is among us among the Muslims come out to us. The loyalists will become angry, and they will pledge allegiance to a man called Saleh bin Abdullah bin Qays bin Yasar, and he will come out. And the Roman army meets them and kills them, and death occurs among the Romans, while they are in Jerusalem that day, and they have captured it, so they die like locusts, and the owner of Al-Adham dies, and Salih descends with the governors in the land of Syria, and enters Ammuriyah, having stayed there, and descends on Qamuliya, and conquers Zantia, and the voices of his army there in calling for monotheism are loud, and he divides its money among them with utensils, and he appears in Rome, and extracts from it the Gate of Zion, and an onyx coffin, in which is an earring. Eve, and Adam’s garment, meaning his garment, and Aaron’s garment (peace be upon them), so between us they are like that when news comes to him and it is false and he returns.”

The Romans will enter the Holy House with seventy crosses until they demolish it, and obedience will continue to be practiced as long as the caliphate is in the land of Jerusalem and the Levant. The first coast that Allah will be angry with will be eclipsed by Al-Sarfiyya, Caesarea, and Beirut. The Romans and the Levant will rule for forty days from the seashore to the Jordan and Beit Shean. Then the Muslims will gain victory over them. They will reconcile it until their authority over them runs out, and the entire earth will be secure for seven-nine days.

Naeem told us, Damra told us ، On the authority of Yahya bin Abi Amr Al-Sibani ، On the authority of Amr bin Abdullah ، On the authority of Jubair bin Nufayr Al-Hadrami ، Ka'b told him, “There is a queen in Morocco who rules a nation ، That nation is dazzled by Christianity ، So you build ships that this nation wants ، Even if you finish making it ، And it made its charge and combat there ، She said: You will ride, Allah willing, even if He does not wish ، Then Allah will send against it a storm of wind, and its ships will strike ، She still does it like that and says it like that ، And Allah does likewise ، Even if Allah wanted to give her permission to walk, she said: Let us ride, Allah willing ، So it sails with its ships, which are a thousand ships ، No ships like her have ever been put on the sea ، They will walk until they pass through the land of the Romans ، The Romans panic at them and say: What are you? They say: We are a nation called Christianity ، We want a nation that we were told had conquered nations ، Either we blackmail them ، Or they blackmail us ، He said: Then the Romans say: Those are the ones who destroyed our country ، They killed our men ، They served our sons and women ، So they supplied us with fifty and three hundred ships ، They will proceed until they anchor in Akka ، Then they would disembark from their ships and burn them ، They say: This is our country ، In it we live ، And there we die ، Then Al-Sarikh, the imam of the Muslims, comes ، On that day, he was in Jerusalem ، He says: An enemy has descended and you cannot defeat them ، He sends mail to Egypt ، And to Iraq he draws them ، Their mail comes from Egypt ، He says: The people of Egypt said: We are in the presence of the enemy ، But your enemy came to you from the sea ، We are on the sea coast ، We will fight for your descendants ، And we leave our descendants to the enemy? The people of Iraq say: We are in the presence of an enemy, so we are fighting for your descendants ، And we leave our descendants to the enemy? The mail that came from Iraq passes through Homs ، They find that the non-Arabs therein have closed off the descendants of the Muslims there ، The news came to them that the Arabs had perished ، So they denied what came to them until the news of that reached them three times ، Then the governor says: Should I wait until every city in the Levant is closed to those in it? ، He rises among the people and praises Allah and praises Him ، He says: We sent to your brothers, the people of Iraq and the people of Egypt, to support you, but they refused to support you ، The matter of Homs is kept secret ، He says: There is no support for you except from Allah Almighty ، Walk to your enemy ، They will meet the plain of Akka ، By the one in whose hand is the same heel ، They cannot be patient with the people of the Levant, like you wearing your clothes, until they are defeated ، They come to the coast and do not find there anything to help them ، It is as if I am looking at Muslims hitting their buttocks in the plain of Akka ، Until they arrive in Mount Lebanon ، Only about two hundred men escape from them, praying in Mount Lebanon until they reach the mountains of Roman land ، The Muslims then went to Homs and besieged it ، And they will throw to you some of them that you know ، It may only be one or two heads ، Let them be left empty from that day on ، And do not dwell ، They say: How do we live in a place where our women were exposed? Al-Shaybani said: Twelve angels will gather under the sycamore trees of Jaffa ، The lowest of them is the owner of the Romans

O Abu Amer, if these two dustbins are blown up, then remove your family from Homs. If you enter Antarsus and three hundred martyrs are killed there, then remove your family from Homs. The Persians will close it in on the descendants of the Muslims and their women. Then we surrounded ourselves until we entered Deir Mashal. You will see this wood. On that day, it will be the catapults of the Muslims. It is not permissible for them to complete three years. The Romans have three outings. This is the first, and the other. An army will come to the sea with a thousand castles and they will disperse them. They recruit their share, and prepare to go out in one day, and when that day comes, each people goes out to the next Muslims, burns their ships, and makes their fortresses tents, then they fight and the affliction and fighting intensify in all of Syria, and some of them are unable to defeat others, and Allah withholds victory, and gives weapons, and softens the people until it becomes the Muslims’ business to fortify themselves in Al-Mada’in, and notifies the Roman scribes in the breaches of Al-Mada’in, and then the Persians of Homs are closed. Its doors are upon the descendants of Muslims and their women, and the fighting intensifies in the land of Palestine for four consecutive days.
