Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Naim told us, Yahya bin Saeed Al-Attar, and Abu Al-Mughirah told us, on the authority of Ibn Ayyash, on the authority of Abdullah bin Dinar, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “The Turks descend on Amed and drink from the Tigris and Euphrates, and they strive in the peninsula and the people of Islam from Al-Hira are unable to do anything for them. Then Allah sends snow upon them without measure, in which there is a shriek of strong wind and ice, and they are idle, and when they remain for days the leader of the people of Islam rises among the people and says: O people of Islam, A people who give themselves to Allah and see what the people have done, so ten horsemen are appointed and come to them, but they are idle, and they return and say: Allah has destroyed them and has sufficed for you. They have perished from the last of them.”

The Turks will return to the peninsula to water their horses from the Euphrates, then Allah will send a plague upon them and kill them, and only one man will escape.

They stand on the hills of the island to seize the women of a rich man, so much so that when a man sees the whiteness of his wife’s anklets, he is unable to ward off her.

They will go out, and nothing will stop them near the Euphrates. What happened to their epics, and the knights of the people on that day will be Qays Aylan, and he will eradicate them and not leave them after that.

Ibn Ayyash said: Someone who heard Makhol told me on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him): “The Turks have two outcomes: one is the devastation of Azerbaijan, and one is they go out on the peninsula, encircling the camels, so Allah gives victory to the Muslims. Among them is the greatest slaughter of Allah, and there will be no abandonment after that.”

Ibn Ayyash said: Nafi’ and Sa’id bin Abi Orouba told us, all on the authority of Qatada. Abdullah bin Buraidah told us on the authority of Suleiman bin Rabi’ah, one of the hermits of the people of Basra, who said: We came to Abdullah bin Amr and I heard him say: “The Banu Qantura will soon drive the people of Khurasan and the people of Sajistan violently, until they tie their animals to the palm trees of the desert, and they will send to the people of Basra to vacate your land for us or They will descend upon you, and they will be divided into three groups: a group that will join the Arabs, a group in the Levant, and a group that is its enemy, and the leadership of that, if the land is covered, is the leadership of the foolish.”

Ibn Ayyash said: Ja`far ibn al-Harith told me, on the authority of Sa`id ibn Jumhan, on the authority of Abu Bakra, on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “A land called Basra or al-Busayra. The Banu Qantura come to them until they land in a river called the Tigris with palm trees, and the people therein disperse into three groups: a group that follows its roots and is destroyed, a group that takes upon itself and they disbelieve, and a group that places its dependents above its backs and they fight them, so Allah will grant victory. "On the rest of them."

Ibn Ayyash said: Khaled bin Abdul Malik told me, on the authority of Abu Qilabah, on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “Then they will separate into three groups: a group that will stay, a group that will join its fathers in the springs of wormwood and qaysum, and a group that will join the Levant, and it is the best of the groups.”

Their eyes are like a valley, and their faces are like a hole. They have a spot between the Tigris and the Euphrates, a spot in the donkey meadow, and a spot in the Tigris, until the passport is given at the beginning of the day for a hundred dinars to cross to the Levant, and then it increases at the end of the day.

My nation will be led by people with asy-faced faces and small eyes, as if their faces were hollow, until they joined them in the Arabian Peninsula three times. As for the first leg, those who flee will be saved, the second leg, some will perish and some will be saved, and the third, the illusion of the Turks, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, will be destroyed, to tie their horses to the posts of the Muslim Mosque.

The Banu Qantura are about to expel you from the land of Iraq. Do you desire that? Yes, and they will have the comfort of living

Naim told us, then Ibn Aliyah, Awf told me, on the authority of Abu al-Mughirah al-Qawwas, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr, he said: “The epics of the people are five, two have passed, and three have passed in this nation: the epic of the Turks, the epic of the Romans, and the epic of the Dajjal. There is no epic after the Dajjal’s epic.”

The Dajjal will descend on Khuz and Kirman with eighty thousand people, their faces as if they were hammered shields, wearing long robes and wearing hair.

Leave the place as long as they leave you, meaning the Khazars

You will drive the Turks out, and nothing will stop them short of a rupture. Among them is the greatest slaughter of Allah

A people with small eyes and slit noses, whose faces look like hammered shields, will bring you out of it, wearing hair, tying their horses to palm trees, and drinking from the water of the Euphrates.

Nu`aym told us, then Baqiyya, on the authority of Umm Abdullah, on the authority of her brother Abdullah bin Khalid, on the authority of his father Khalid bin Maadan, on the authority of Muawiyah, who said: “Leave Al-Rabidah as long as they leave you, for they will go out until they reach the Euphrates, and the first of them will drink from it, and the last of them will come and say: There was water here.”

Salamah b. Kuhail said:Zaid b. Wahb al-Juhani told us that he was in the army which proceeded to (fight with) the Khawarij in the company of `Ali. `Ali then said: O people! I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: there will appear from among my community people who recite the Qur'an, and your recitation has no comparison with their recitation, and your prayer has no comparison with their prayer, and your fasts have no comparison with their fasts. They will recite the Qur'an thinking that it is beneficial for them, while it is harmful for them. Their prayer will not pass their collar-bones. They will swerve from Islam as an arrow goes through the animal shot at. If the army that is approaching them knows what (reward) has been decided for them at the tongue of their Prophet (ﷺ), they would leave (other good) activities. The sign of that is that among them there will be a man who has an upper arm, but not hand; on his upper arm there will be something like the nipple of a female breast, having white hair thereon. Will you go to Mu`awiyah and the people of Syria, and leave them behind among your children and property? I swear by Allah, I hope these are the same people, for they shed the blood unlawfully, and attacked the cattle of the people so go on in the name of Allah. Salamah b. Kuhail said: Zaid b. Wahb then informed me of all the halting places one by one, (saying): Until we passed a bridge. When we fought with each other, `Abd Allah b. Wahb al-Rasibi, who was the leader of the Khawarij, said to them: Throw away the lances and pull out the swords from their sheaths, for I am afraid they will adjure you as they had adjured on the day of Harura. So they threw away their lances and pulled out their swords, and the people pierced them with their lances. They were killed (lying one on the other). On that day only two persons of the partisans (of `Ali) were afflicted. `Ali said: Search for the man with the crippled hand. But they could not find him. Then `Ali got up himself and went to the people who had been killed and were lying on one another. He said: Take them out. They found him just near the ground. So he shouted: Allah is Most Great! He said: Allah spoke the truth, and His Apostle has conveyed. `Ubaidat al-Salmani stood up to him, saying: Commander of the Faithful! Have you heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He said: Yes, by him, there is no Allah but He. He put to swear thrice and he swore

Abu hurairah reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying:The last hour will not come before you fight with a people whose sandals are of hair, and the Last hour will not come before you fight with a people who have small eyes, short noses, and whose faces look as if they were shields covered with skin

The first country to be visited by the Arabs is a people with red faces, as if their faces are like hammered shields

You will find their faces like pearls, their eyes like meekness, so leave them as long as they leave you

They are

The Romans emerge in the Great Epic, and with them are the Turks, Burjan, and Saqlaba

There are three epics, two have passed, and one remains, the Turkish epic on the island

The Turks have two campaigns: one of them is to destroy Azerbaijan, and the second is to start it on the banks of the Euphrates.
