Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us, on the authority of Abd al-Jabbar bin Rashid al-Azdi, on the authority of his mother, on the authority of Rabi’ah al-Qasir, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “There will be three tribulations like yours departing: a tribulation that will take place in the Levant, then the eastern one, the destruction of kings, then the western one will follow, and he mentioned the yellow flags. He said: and the western ones are the blind ones.”

Allah Almighty gave Ishmael, peace be upon him, twelve leaders from his blood, the best and best of them being Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Omar ibn al-Khattab, and Uthman Dhul-Nour, who is killed unjustly and is given his reward twice, and the king of the Levant and his son, and al-Saffah, and Mansour, and Sin and Salam, meaning goodness and well-being.

There will be a strife in the Levant in which blood will be shed, family ties will be severed, and money will be wasted, then the East will follow

Abu Al-Mughirah told us, on the authority of Ibn Ayyash, on the authority of the one who told him, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “Black banners of the Banu Abbas will appear until they descend on the Levant, and Allah will kill at their hands every stubborn tyrant or enemy of theirs. Adam will stand in their square for forty-five mornings, and seventy thousand will enter it with their motto in it: ‘I die, I die.’ Then the war will end, and their rule will last for nine out of seven, and then their rule will be broken after seventy-three years.”

The people of Syria were happiest with the emergence of the black flags, the people of Homs, and the people of Damascus were most miserable because of them

Iraq will soon be in a state of war, the Levant will be torn to pieces, and Egypt will be scattered and the wasteland will be destroyed, then the matter will come down.

If a village called Harasta is eclipsed, and two caliphs from the Abbasids are deposed, and the Abbasids disagree among themselves until twelve banners and twelve banners are raised among them, then turmoil will prevail over them in the abode of their kingship, and they will gather in it, and at that time the Hereafter, and the Gihon will cross, and in it they will gather, and at that time their king will fall, and the barbarians will emerge from the Levant.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Artat, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “There are three trials that will occur in the Levant: the trial of bloodshed, the trial of severing ties of kinship and the plundering of money, then followed by the trial of the Maghreb, which is blindness.”

Sedition will still stagnate as long as it does not start from the Levant

Abdul Quddus and Amr bin Al-Harith told us, they said: Abdullah bin Salem Al-Homsi told us, on the authority of Ali bin Abi Talha, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “Allah Almighty created the world in the position of a bird, so He made the two wings the east and the west, and He made the head the Levant, and He made the top of the head hummus, and in it is the beak, and if the beak decreases, the people disagree, and He made the neck Damascus, and in it is the heart, so if the heart moves, the body moves, and the head has two blows: a blow from the wing.” The eastern wing is on Damascus, and a blow is from the western wing and it is on Homs, and it is the heaviest of them. Then the head approaches the wings and plucks them out, feather by feather.”

The head of the earth is the Levant, its wings are Egypt and Iraq, the tails are the Hijaz, and the goshawks are skinned on the tails.

The people still have a period of time until the head knocks, and if the head knocks, the people will perish, and the Levant will be devastated

The earth will be destroyed forty years before the Levant

The people of the Levant converted to Islam, and the happiest of its soldiers with the yellow banners were the people of Damascus, and the most miserable of the people of the Levant and its soldiers were the people of Homs. They will flood the Levant as water floods a water bottle.

Abu Yusuf al-Maqdisi told us, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ubayd Allah, on the authority of Yazid ibn Sindi, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “When the west appears over Egypt, the interior of the earth on that day is better than its surface for the people of the Levant. Woe to the two soldiers: the soldiers of Palestine and Jordan, and the soldiers of the land of Homs, of Berbers striking with their swords at a door for perfume, and the companion of the west is a lame man from Kinda.”

If you see the yellow flags descending on Alexandria, then descending on the center of Syria, then a village in Damascus called Harasta will be eclipsed.

If the black flags and the yellow flags meet in the middle of the Levant, the interior of the earth is better than its surface

If the black and yellow flags meet in the middle of the Levant, the interior of the earth is better than its surface

Al-Sufyani defeats the group twice, accepts the tribute, and takes captive the offspring, and they slaughter a woman from the Quraysh, with which he rips open the stomachs of the women of Bani Hashim, then he dies, and then a rebel from the family of that woman arises after years called Abdullah. He never worshiped Allah Almighty. He is the most vile of creatures, deformed, cursed. Whoever follows him and calls for him will be cursed by the people of heaven and the people of earth. He is the son of the eater of livers. He comes to Damascus, sits on its pulpit, and catches fire. He commanded him to go to Homs, and to light a fire in Damascus, and that is when two men from the Abbasids are removed, and they are the two branches, and when the second one is different, Al-Sufyani emerges, young in age, curly-haired, white, with a long body, and his middle finger is shaved, and there will be clashes between him and them in the Levant, and he will take the women of the Abbasids captive until he brings them to Damascus.

If one man rules the Levant and the other reigns Egypt, and the Levant and the Egyptian fight, and the people of the Levant take captive tribes from Egypt, and a man from the East comes with small black banners before the ruler of the Levant, then he is the one who will lead obedience to the Mahdi.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of Artat, on the authority of Tabi’, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: “When the millstone of Banu Abbas has turned, and the owners of the black banners tie their horses to the olive trees of the Levant, and Allah destroys for them the red-haired man, and kills him and all of his household at their hands, until there is no Umayyad among them left except one who flees or disappears, and the two palms fall: Banu Ja’far and Banu Abbas, and the son of the liver-eater sits on the pulpit of Damascus, and the Berbers go out to The navel of Syria is the sign of the emergence of the Mahdi.”

There will be a large community in the Euphrates region in the Levant region, or a little after it, and they will fight over money, and seven out of every nine will be killed, and that will happen after the guidance and failure in the month of Ramadan, and after the separation of three banners, each one of them will seek kingship for himself, and among them is a man named Abdullah.

The leaders of the Mahdi are the best of people. The people who supported him and pledged allegiance to him were from the people of Kufan ​​and Yemen, and the Abdal of the Levant. His leader was Gabriel, and his leader was Michael. He is beloved among creation. Allah Almighty will extinguish blind strife, and the earth will be secure, so much so that a woman will perform Hajj with five women who do not have a man with her. She does not fear anything except Allah. She gives the earth her alms, and the sky her blessing.

He was called the Mahdi because he guides to books from the books of the Torah, extracts them from the mountains of the Levant, invites the Jews to them, and greets a large group of people to those books. Then he mentioned about thirty thousand people.

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us ، About the one who told him about Ka'b ، He said: “The people of Yemen are fighting fiercely in Mesopotamia ، Allah will defeat him and those with him ، The people of the East and those with him are terrified only by the dead floating on the river ، They know of their defeat ، Their rider heads to Yemen as they descend between the two rivers ، Then Allah Almighty and those with him will appear ، And people's affairs will be fixed ، Their words come together happily ، Then they walk until they reach the Levant ، They stay for a period of time in a righteous state ، Then Qais revolts against them ، The people of Yemen kill them until anyone thinks that there is no Qais left ، Then a man from the people of Yemen rises and says: Allah, Allah, for your brothers ، Allah and the rest ، Then Qays went with those who remained of it until they came down between the two rivers ، They gather a great crowd ، They will be put in charge of a man from Banu Makhzum ، Then the governor of Yemen dies ، Qais rejoices at his death ، The Makhzoumi continued until the last of them crossed the Euphrates, and the Makhzoumi died ، Yemen will become separate ، Measure separately ، Then the loyalists get angry, and they are the majority of people on that day ، They say: Come, let us appoint a man from the people of religion to me ، They will send a group of people from Yemen ، And a bunch of harmful ، And a group of people who are loyal to Jerusalem ، They recite the Book of Allah Almighty and ask Him for good ، Then those people return, having appointed a man from among the loyalists as their guardian ، So woe to the people in the Levant and its land due to his guardianship ، He goes to Mudar and wants to fight them ، Then a man from Morocco walks ، A tall, powerful man with broad shoulders ، He kills whoever he meets until he enters the Holy House ، Then the animal hits him ، He dies a death ، So the world will be as evil as it was ، Then after him comes a man from Mudar ، He kills righteous people ، Ominous cursed ، Then after him comes Al-Madari Al-Omani Al-Qahtani ، He follows the path of his brother Mahdi ، And at his hands the city of Rum will be conquered.” Abu Abdullah Naeem said: He emerges from a village called Yakli, behind Sana’a, at a stage. ، His father is Qureshi ، His mother is Yemeni
