Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Spare me from this, O Commander of the Faithful. How excellent the people of Khurasan are, and Banu Umayyad from Banu Hashim have gores, and Banu Hashim from Banu Umayyah have gores. Then the Sufyani will come out.

If Al-Sufyani came out in thirty-seven, his reign would be twenty-eight months, and if he came out in thirty-nine, his reign would be nine months.
