Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

The Abyssinians go out in a way in which they end up at the house, then the people of the Levant come out to them and find them spread out on the ground, and they kill them in the valleys of Bani Ali, which are close to Medina, so much so that the Abyssinians are sold by the whole lot.

Nu'aym told us, then Rushdin, on the authority of Ibn Lahi'ah, on the authority of Bakr ibn Sawadah, that a servant of Abdullah ibn Amr told him, on the authority of Abu Zur'ah, on the authority of Shafi, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Amr, who said: “You and the people of Andalusia are fighting handsomely, and your reinforcements will come to you from the Levant, and when the first of them descends, Allah will defeat your enemy, and they will continue to kill them as far as Lubiyah, and then you will return, and Abyssinia will come to you with three hundred thousand, upon them. Then you and the people of the Levant fight them, and Allah Almighty defeats them. Then you return to the Copts and say: Why did you help us against our enemy? They say: You did this to us. You took away our strength. You did not leave us a weapon, and you are the people most beloved to us. He said: Then they forgive them.

The people of Andalusia fight you handsomely, then your supplies come from the Levant, and Allah defeats them

The Abyssinians will come with three hundred thousand, and over them will be a man called Asbis. You and the people of the Levant will fight them, and Allah will defeat them.

Naim told us, then Al-Walid, on the authority of Saeed bin Bashir, on the authority of Qatada, on the authority of Uqba bin Aws, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, who said: “The Banu Qantura bin Karkara are about to go out and drive the people of Khurasan violently, until they tie their horses to the palm trees of the grove, and they send a message to the people of Basra: Either you join us, or leave it to us, and a third will join them, and a third will join the Bedouins, and a third will go to the Levant.”
