Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

The sixth trial will be a truce between you and the Banu Al-Asfar. They will march against you on eighty banners, with twelve thousand under each banner.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Sinan, on the authority of Abu Al-Zahiriyah, on the authority of Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “There will be a truce between you and the Banu Asfar, the Romans, and they will betray you by carrying a woman. They will come in eighty camps on land and sea, with twelve thousand under each camp, until they land between Jaffa and Acre, and the owner of their kingdom burns their ships, and he says to his companions: Fight for Your country will join the battle, and the soldiers will support each other until those from Hadhramaut from Yemen will support you. On that day, the Most Merciful will stab them with his spear, strike them with his sword, and throw his arrows at them, and the greatest slaughter will occur among them.”
