Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

The first of this nation was prophecy and mercy, then a caliphate and mercy, then a gnawing and biting king, but there was mercy in it, then a bald-headed tyranny in which no one could relate, in which necks were beheaded, hands and feet were cut off, and money was taken.

This matter began with prophecy and mercy, then it will be a caliphate and mercy, then it will be an oppressive kingdom. They will drink alcohol, wear silk, make private parts permissible, and will be helped and provided for, until the command of Allah comes to them.

The beginning of this nation is prophecy and mercy, then a caliphate and mercy, then a stubborn king, then it becomes coercion and futility.

Allah began this matter on the day He began it with prophecy and mercy, then it returns to caliphate and mercy, then authority and mercy, then kingship and mercy, then it returns caliphate and mercy, then authority and mercy, then kingship and mercy, then bald might, over which they pile like donkeys.

The beginning of this nation is prophecy and mercy, then a caliphate and mercy, then authority and mercy, then a kingdom of tyranny. If that happens, then the interior of the earth on that day is better than its surface.

This nation will still have a caliph who will gather them, and an established emirate, who will give livelihood and tribute until Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, is sent, then he will gather them, and then the emirate will cease.

There will be prophecy and mercy, then caliphate and mercy, then oppressive kingship, coercion, and corruption. They make private parts permissible, drink alcohol, and wear silk, and despite that, they are helped and provided with.
