Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

These are temptations that have spread like pieces of a dark night. Whenever messengers go away, messengers come in them. A man’s heart dies as his body dies.

If a man does not trust his companion

I do not like that I shot Othman with an arrow, wanting to kill him, nor that I had as much gold as Uhud

The best people in turmoil are black people who graze on the tops of the mountains and in the countryside, and the worst people in it are every rider in a place, and every preacher in a place.

A young caliph will come over the people. He pledges allegiance to his two sons. He is killed in Damascus treacherously, and the people disagree after him

A man emerges from the peninsula and tramples on the people, and sheds blood. Then a man emerges from Khorasan after killing his brother from Banu Hashim, called Abdullah. He remains for about forty years. Then he dies and two men from his household named by the same name differ, so it becomes an epic in Aqraqufa, and they appear close to the caliph. Then it becomes a sign among the Banu al-Asfar, and a star with a tail appears, and it disappears from them and does not return to them.

If the Turks and Khazars appear in the peninsula and Azerbaijan, and the Romans in the depths and its outskirts, the Romans will fight a man from Qays, from the people of Qinnasrin, and the Sufyani will fight the people of the East in Iraq, and each side will be occupied with an enemy. If he fights them for forty days and does not come to him, he will extend the favor of the Romans, provided that neither party gives anything to the other.

There is a sign at zero, and a star with a tail begins

Every tribulation is roasted until it is in the Levant, and if it is in the Levant, then it is the summer, and it is the darkness

Abu Amr told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abdul Wahhab bin Hussein, on the authority of Muhammad bin Thabit, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Al-Harith, on the authority of Ibn Masoud, he said: “If a man emerges from Fihr gathering Berbers, a man from the descendants of Abu Sufyan emerges, and when Fihri reaches his departure, they separate into three groups: a group that will return, a group that will stay with him and walk to the Levant, and a squad that will stay with him and walk to the Levant, and a squad that will go to Hijaz, where they will meet in Wadi Al-Ansal in the Levant, defeat the Berbers, and then fight the people of the Levant.”

A star appears and moves with Elijah, a one-eyed man, and then there is an eclipse

A one-eyed man is moved by Elijah, and there is much commotion and captivity, and he is the one who sends an army to the city

Abu Omar told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’a, on the authority of Abdul Wahhab bin Hussein, on the authority of Muhammad bin Thabit, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Al Harith, on the authority of Ibn Masoud, he said: “The seventh from the descendants of Abbas calls people to justice, but they do not respond to that. So he says: I will walk among you in the manner of Abu Bakr and Omar (may Allah be pleased with him), and he divides the spoils equally. Then his household says to him: Do you want to remove us from our livelihood? They refuse him, and he kills several members of his household. Then they disagreed among themselves, and then a man from the progeny of Fihr would emerge, gathering from the Berbers until he took the pulpits of Egypt, then a man from the progeny of Abu Sufyan would emerge, and when Al-Fihri reached his exit, they would separate into three groups.” To the end of the hadith.

He sends an army to Medina, crushes them among the crowds, and kills the pure soul

A man does not die from Gog and Magog except leaving behind a thousand offspring and onwards

Bear witness

If one night passes over him, he will take away what is in your hearts, and he will take away what is in your Qur’an

that

The nights, days, months, and times are closest to the Hour

If the Qur’an is lifted from the chests of men, they will overflow with poetry

It is as if I were leaving the ears on two brats until they tied them to the shore of the Euphrates

enemy

A man from al-Mawali passes by and calls for the Banu Hashim, called Abdullah. He stays for four years, then dies

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The mill of Islam will go round till the year thirty-five, or thirty-six, or thirty-seven; then if they perish, they will have followed the path of those who perished before them, but if their religion is maintained, it will be maintained for seventy years. I asked: Does it mean seventy years which remain or seventy years which are gone by? He replied: It means (seventy years) that are gone by. Abu Dawud said: Those who recorded Khirash, the name of a narrator, are wrong. (The correct name is Hirash)
