Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not be established till a man passes by a grave of somebody and says, 'Would that I were in his place

Sedition arose and the companions of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ, were available

O Abu Al-Hasan, by Allah, if you had taken the lion’s blade, you would have taken his other blade with you until we all perished or we all survived. As for this matter that you are in, by Allah, I would never enter into it with you.

Hisham dies, then a boy from his family is killed, then the one who comes from the direction of the island, and Suleiman bin Hisham on that day in the island is killed, and after him are the black flags.

I have heard that the black flags emerge from Khurasan, and when they land at the Khorasan obstacle, they land denying Islam, and only the banners of the foreigners from the Maghreb reject them.

The world is dominated by Lakaa bin Lakaa

Black banners will come from the East, led by men like majestic ships, men of honor, whose lineages are villages, and whose names are nicknames. They will conquer the city of Damascus, and mercy will be spared from them for three hours.

The destruction of their kingdom is their difference among themselves, from where it appeared

In the exit of Sufyani, you will see a sign in the sky

During the term of Sufyani II, his emergence was a sign seen in the sky

If the yellow flags enter Egypt and gather in the bridge, wait until the people of the East and the people of the West mount an army and fight with it seven times, and there will be as much blood between them as there was in all the strife, and then the people of the East will be defeated until they put them down at Ramla.

The bearers of the black flags and the bearers of the yellow flags meet at the bridge and fight until they reach Palestine, then the Sufyani revolts against the people of the East. When the people of the West descend on Jordan, their leader dies. They separate into three groups: a group that returns to where it came from, a group that performs Hajj, and a group that remains constant. Then the Sufyani fights them and defeats them, and they enter into obedience to him.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid al-Tanukhi, on the authority of al-Zuhri, who said: “If the black flags differ among themselves, the yellow flags come to them, and they gather in the bridge of the people of Egypt, and the people of the East and the people of the West fight seven times, and then the attack will be on the people of the East until they descend on Ramla, and something will happen between the people of the Levant and the people of the West, and the people of the West will become angry and say: We have come to support you, and then you will do what they do? between you and the people of the East, and they will plunder you, due to the scarcity of the people of the Levant on that day in their eyes. Then the Sufyani will emerge, and the people of the Levant will follow him, and he will fight the people of the East.”

If the people of the East and the people of the West meet with the banners of Zero in Egypt, and they fight at the bridge seven times, then they reach Ramla.

Al-Walid told us, on the authority of a sheikh, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, who said: “If the owners of the black flags and the people of the yellow banners meet at the bridge, the people of the East will be defeated, and they will be defeated until they reach Palestine, and the Sufyani will revolt against the people of the East. When the people of the West will descend on Jordan, their leader will die, and they will separate into three groups: a group that will return to where it came from, a group that will perform Hajj, and a group that will remain firm, and the Sufyani will fight them and defeat them, and they will enter into obedience to him.”

He escaped from Kufa because of an ulcer that afflicted him and he died. Then after him came a man among them whose name is his father’s name, and his name has eight letters. His shoulders are flat, his arms and legs are bare, his head is shielded, and his eyes are sunken, and the people will perish after him.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: “The Sufyani pledges allegiance to the people of the Levant, and he fights the people of the East and defeats them from Palestine until they reach Marj al-Safar, then they meet and the defeat is on the people of the East until they reach Marj al-Thaniyya, then they fight and the defeat is on the people of the East until they reach the battle, then they fight and the defeat is on the people of the East until they reach the ruined city, meaning Qarqisiya. Then they will fight, and the attack will be on the people of the East until they reach Aqarqa. Then they will fight, and the attack will be on the people of the East, and Al-Sufyani will take possession of the money. Then an ulcer will emerge in the Sufyani’s throat. Then he will enter Kufa in the morning, and leave it in the evening with his armies. When he is in the mouths of the Levant, he dies, and the people of the Levant revolt and pledge allegiance to Ibn Al-Kalbiyah. His name is Abdullah bin Yazid bin Al-Kalbiyah, sunken-eyed, disfigured, and he reaches the people of the Levant. The East is the death of Sufyani, and they say: The state of the people of the Levant is gone, so they revolt, and Ibn al-Kalbiyyah reaches out and revolts with a group of them, and they fight with brigades, and the attack is on the people of the East, until they enter Kufa, and he kills the female fighter, and takes captive the offspring and women, then he destroys Kufa, then he sends an army from it to Hijaz.”

He sends a delegation from Kufa to Marv and a delegation to Hijaz

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: “Two missions will be sent from the people of Kufa: one to Marv, and one to Hijaz, and a third of his mission to Hijaz will be eclipsed, and a third will be transformed, their faces will be turned between their shoulders, they will see their backs as they see their private parts, they will walk backwards with their heels, as they used to walk with the tops of their feet, and a third will remain and they will march to Mecca.”

During the rule of Sufyani II, you see a sign in the sky

Al-Mahdi will forcefully extract from Mecca the descendants of Fatima and pledge allegiance

The other receives it by selling it

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Saeed bin Yazid, on the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: “The Mahdi will emerge from Mecca after the eclipse with three hundred and fourteen men, equal to the number of the people of Badr, and he and the companion of the Sufyani army will meet, and the Mahdi’s companions will meet on that day their Paradise Al-Barada’, meaning their terrace. It was called before that: the Day of Al-Barada’, and it is said: On that day he will hear a voice from the sky calling out: Indeed, the guardians of Allah are the companions of so-and-so, meaning the Mahdi, so the plan will be on The companions of the Sufyani, and they fight, and nothing remains of them except the fugitive, and they flee to the Sufyani and inform him, and the Mahdi goes out to the Levant, and the Sufyani receives the Mahdi with his pledge of allegiance, and people rush to him from every direction, and the earth will be filled with justice as it was filled with injustice.”

Al-Mahdi is from the descendants of Fatima (may Allah be pleased with him). A

The Mahdi lives for fourteen years, then dies
