Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Ibn Uyaynah and Abu Usama told us, on the authority of Mujalid, on the authority of Amir, on the authority of Silah, who said: I heard Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman say: “There are four trials in Islam, the fourth of which will lead them to the Dajjal: the speckled, the dark, the feeble and the weak.”

There are four temptations after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until the Hour comes, the first five, the twelfth, the twenty-third, and the fourth is the Dajjal.

There will be four tribulations: the first is in which blood is permissible, the second is permissible in blood and money, the third is in which blood, money and private parts are permissible, and the fourth is the Dajjal.

There are three temptations, the fourth will lead them to the Dajjal, which throws the kneecaps, which throws the hair, and the dark black stone, which ripples the waves of the sea.

Al-Walid bin Muslim told us, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid bin Jabir, on the authority of Umair bin Hani, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “The trial of good times involves war and flight, and the trial of good times comes out from under the feet of a man who claims to be from me and is not from me. He knows if he is fighting for what is right or for what is wrong, so they continue like this until they become two camps: a camp of faith in which there is no hypocrisy, and a camp of hypocrisy in which there is no faith. So when they meet, he will see the Dajjal today or tomorrow.”

There are four temptations: the first is insight, the second is an air temptation, the third is a blind temptation, and the fourth is the Dajjal.

Hushaym narrated to us, on the authority of Mujalid, he said: Al-Sha’bi narrated to us, on the authority of Silah bin Zufar, he heard Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, and a man said to him: Has the Dajjal appeared? Hudhayfah said: “As for those among you who are companions of Muhammad, ﷺ, no, by Allah, he will not come out until some people wish him to come out, and he will not come out until his exit is more beloved to some people than drinking cold water on a hot day. And there will be among you, O nation, four temptations: the speckled, the dark, and so-and-so, and so-and-so, and the fourth will hand you over to the Dajjal, and two groups will fight with this excrement. I do not care which one I throw with my quiver’s arrow.”

Everything has a state that affects it. The supervising vagabonds will have a state, then the vagabonds and the lowly people will have a state at the end of time, until some of the most noble people will come to them. If that is the case, then Freud is the Dajjal. Then comes the Hour, and the Hour is worse and more bitter.

Damascus is the Muslim stronghold of the Romans, and a bull’s paddock there is better than a great house in Homs. And whoever wants to be saved from the Dajjal is the Abu Fatrus River, and if you want the home of the caliphs, then you should go to Damascus, and if you want effort and jihad, then you should go to Homs, the stronghold of the Muslims from the epics, Damascus, and from the Dajjal, there is the Abu Fatros River, and from Gog and Magog, you should go to Damascus.

Ibn Wahb told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Al-Harith bin Yazid, he heard Ibn Zurayr Al-Ghafiqi, he heard Ali say: “He will come out with twelve thousand, if they are few, or fifteen thousand if they are many. Terror will prevail before him. No enemy will meet him except that he will defeat them, Allah willing. Their motto is: Die, die. They do not care about Allah for the blame of a blamer. So he will come out to them with seven banners from the Levant, defeat them and rule, and their love, grace and abundance will return to the people.” And after them there will be none other than the Dajjal. We said: What is Al-Fadha and Al-Fadha? He said: The matter will unfold until a man speaks whatever he wants without fearing anything.

I have heard that if the Mahdi dies, the matter will become chaos among the people, and they will kill each other, and foreigners will appear, and epics will continue, and there will be no order or group until the Dajjal emerges.

A caliph from the Banu Hashim will descend on Jerusalem and fill the earth with justice. He will build Jerusalem a building that has never been built before. He will rule for forty years. The Roman truce will be under his control for seven years remaining in his caliphate. Then they will betray him, then they will gather for him in the depths, and he will die there in grief. Then a man from the Banu Hashim will follow after him, then their defeat will occur, and the conquest of Constantinople will be on his hands. Then he will go to Rome and conquer it, extracting its treasures and the table of Suleiman ibn David, peace be upon them, then returns to Jerusalem and descends there. The Dajjal will emerge in his time, and Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), will descend and pray behind him.

I have heard that the Mahdi lives forty years, then dies in his bed, then a man emerges from Qahtan with pierced ears, following the manner of the Mahdi, he lives for twenty years, then he dies with weapons, then a man from the family of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) emerges, a Mahdi of good character, who conquers the city of Caesar, and he is the last prince from the nation of Muhammad (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), then the Dajjal will emerge in his time, and Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him, will descend in his time.

A king in Jerusalem sends an army to India and conquers it, takes its treasures, and makes it an adornment of Jerusalem. They attack it with the kings of India in chains. That army will remain in India until the Dajjal emerges.

After the Mahdi, there will be a man from Qahtan with pierced ears, in the manner of the Mahdi. His life will be twenty years, then he will die with a weapon, then a man from the family of Ahmad (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) of good conduct will emerge and conquer the city of Caesar. He will be the last king or prince from the nation of Ahmad (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him), and the Dajjal will emerge in his time, and Jesus, peace be upon him, will descend in his time.

A king in Jerusalem sends an army to India and conquers it. They trample on the land of India and take its treasures, so that king becomes an adornment of Jerusalem, and that army presents to it the kings of India in chains, and opens for it what is between the East and the West, and their abode will be in India until the emergence of the Dajjal.

At the hands of that Yamani Caliph, through whom Constantinople and Rome were conquered, the Dajjal will emerge, and in his time Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), will descend. The Battle of India will take place at his hands, and he is from Banu Hashim.

The Romans have a king who does not disobey him or disobeys him almost at all, so he leads them until he lands them in such-and-such a land for days that I forgot. There are two sacrifices to Allah for the Christians, one of which has passed and the other remains.

By the One in whose hand is my soul, it will expand upon whoever of the Muslims comes to it just as the womb expands upon a child. A mountain in the land of the Levant, from Homs, on a river called Al-Arunt, so the descendants of the Muslims will be at the top of the neck, and the Muslims are on the Arunat River, and the polytheists behind the Arunat River will fight them morning and evening. When the owner of Constantinople sees this, he directs six hundred thousand across the land to Qinnasrin until seventy thousand come to them in Yemen. May Allah unite their hearts with faith, with them forty thousand. From Himyar, until they come to Jerusalem, and they fight the Romans and defeat them, and drive them out from one army to another, until they come to Qinnisrin and the material of the loyalists comes to them.

Far from, far from, by the One in whose hand is my soul, O Hudhayfah, write it down to six qualities. The first of them is my death, then the Holy House will be conquered, then after that there will be a strife in which two great factions will fight, in which there will be a lot of killing, and a lot of chaos in them. Their call is the same, then death will be imposed upon you and it will kill you in a lump just as sheep die, then money will increase and it will overflow until a man is called for a hundred dinars and he refuses to take it, then a boy will arise among the children of the yellow people. Their kings

O Abu Amer, if these two dustbins are blown up, then remove your family from Homs. If you enter Antarsus and three hundred martyrs are killed there, then remove your family from Homs. The Persians will close it in on the descendants of the Muslims and their women. Then we surrounded ourselves until we entered Deir Mashal. You will see this wood. On that day, it will be the catapults of the Muslims. It is not permissible for them to complete three years. The Romans have three outings. This is the first, and the other. An army will come to the sea with a thousand castles and they will disperse them. They recruit their share, and prepare to go out in one day, and when that day comes, each people goes out to the next Muslims, burns their ships, and makes their fortresses tents, then they fight and the affliction and fighting intensify in all of Syria, and some of them are unable to defeat others, and Allah withholds victory, and gives weapons, and softens the people until it becomes the Muslims’ business to fortify themselves in Al-Mada’in, and notifies the Roman scribes in the breaches of Al-Mada’in, and then the Persians of Homs are closed. Its doors are upon the descendants of Muslims and their women, and the fighting intensifies in the land of Palestine for four consecutive days.

The Dajjal, then Jesus, then if a man produces a mare, he will not ride her foal until the Hour comes

Abu Ayoub told me ، About Artaat ، About Shurayh ، About heel ، And the rest of Ibn Al-Walid ، And Abu Al-Mughirah ، On the authority of Safwan bin Amr ، Shurayh bin Ubaid told us ، He said: I heard Ka`b al-Habr ، He says: “I heard Constantinople ، The destruction of Jerusalem ، So it became stronger and stronger ، So you were called arrogant ، She said: The throne of my Lord will be built on the water ، It was built on water ، So Allah Almighty promised her punishment on the Day of Resurrection ، He said: I will remove your jewelry, silk, and yeast ، And I will leave you without a rooster crowing over you ، I will not give you anyone except foxes ، There is no plant except the mallow and the plant ، And I will send down three fires upon you: a fire of pitch ، And fire of brimstone ، And fire from oil ، And I will leave you bald and bald ، Nothing will stand between you and heaven ، Let them reach your voice and your smoke ، I am in heaven ، For he has long associated partners with Allah Almighty in it ، And he worshiped others ، And let them prosper therein, as beautiful as they can see the sun ، Let those of you who have reached puberty be unable to walk to the court of their king ، For you will find in it the treasure of twelve of their kings ، They all add to it and do not subtract from it ، On copper statues of cows or horses ، Water runs over their heads ، Let them divide its treasures so that they may not be attacked by shields ، And definitely with axes ، For you will do so until the Fire that Allah has promised will hasten you ، So you will bear as much of its treasures as you can until you divide it with Farqduna ، Then he comes to you from the Levant: The Dajjal has emerged ، So you reject what is in your hands ، When you reach the Levant, you will find the matter invalid ، But it is a whiff of a lie.” Abu Ayyub said: a whiff ، He said: In Al-Farqduna ، He said: No man should get up from his house to one of your walls and urinate on you

O my nephew, perhaps you will realize the conquest of Constantinople. If you achieve its conquest, beware of abandoning your spoils from it, for there will be seven years between its conquest and the emergence of the Dajjal.

There are five epics, two of which have passed, and three remain. The first of them is the epic of the Turks on the Peninsula, the epic of the depths, and the epic of the Dajjal, after which there is no epic.
