Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

When the Romans came, the people would not be able to support themselves after them, and with them on that day would be the Turks, Burjan, and Al-Saqalaba

Naim told us, on the authority of Maslama bin Ali al-Dimashqi, on the authority of Abdullah bin al-Sa’ib, on the authority of Abu Mudlij, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), what he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “The best dead killed under the shade of the sky since Allah Almighty created His creation, the first of them was Abel, who was killed unjustly by the cursed Cain, then the dead of the prophets who were killed by their nations sent to them when they said: Our Lord is Allah and they called upon Him. Then the believer of the family of Pharaoh, then the companion of Yasin, then Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib, then the dead of Badr, then the dead of Uhud, then the dead of Hudaybiyyah, then the dead of Al-Ahzab, then the dead of Hunayn, then those who will be killed after me, killed by rogue and immoral Kharijites, then return your hand to whatever Allah wills of the mujahideen in His cause, until the battle of the Romans, their slain is like the slain of Badr, then the battle of the Turks, so their slain is like those killed on the day of the battles, then The epics of epics, their dead are like those killed on the day of Hunayn, and after that there will be no epic in Islam for its people until the day the trumpet is blown.”

There are five epics, two of which have passed, and three remain. The first of them is the epic of the Turks on the Peninsula, the epic of the depths, and the epic of the Dajjal, after which there is no epic.

Abu Al-Mughirah told us, on the authority of Ibn Ayyash, on the authority of Aqeel bin Mudrik, on the authority of Yunus bin Saif Al-Khawlani, who said: “You will reconcile with the Romans a secure peace until you, and they, the Turks, invade Kerman, and Allah will give you victory. Then the Romans will say: The cross has defeated, and the Muslims will become angry and side with each other, and you will fight fiercely at the hilly meadow, then Allah will give you victory over them, and then there will be epics after that.”
