Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Abd al-Khaliq bin Zaid bin Waqid told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Makhul, on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “The Turks have two exits: one exit, they go out to Azerbaijan, and the second they tie their horses to the Euphrates, and there is no leaving after that.”

Abu Omar 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 (may Allah be pleased with him), on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “If the Sufyani crosses the Euphrates and reaches a place called Aqarqufa, Allah Almighty will erase faith from his heart, and he will be killed with it to a river called Al-Dujail seventy thousand wearing adorned swords, and more, and they will appear on the House of Gold, so they kill the female fighter and the heroes, and open the stomachs of the women, saying: Perhaps she is pregnant with a boy. Women from the Quraysh on the shore of the Tigris are crying out for help to the people of the ships passing by, asking them to carry them until they bring them to the people, so do not carry them out of hatred for the Banu Hashim, so do not hate the Banu Hashim, for among them is the Prophet of Mercy, and among them is the pilot in Paradise. As for the women, when the night overwhelms them, they take refuge in its depths in a place of fear. The immoral people, then the support of victory will come to them until they rescue the offspring and women of Sufyani from Baghdad and Kufa.”

The Euphrates will uncover a mountain of gold and silver, and seven out of every nine will be killed for it. If you reach it, do not approach it.

Days will not pass until the Euphrates loses a mountain of gold, and killing increases, until such and such a hundred are killed. If you realize that, do not approach them.

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.

The fourth strife takes place eighteen, then the Euphrates loses a mountain of gold and they fight over it, until out of every nine seven are killed.
