Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Battles between you until the black banners come to you, then the Turks come out against you and you fight them and kill them, then the deterrent to your animals does not dry out until the people of Morocco leave.

The black flags were still visible on those who opposed them until the Turks entered through Armenia

It is as if I hear the beating of the Turk's sleeves between the bushes and Barq

If a village in Damascus is eclipsed, and a group to the west of its mosque falls, then the Turks and the Romans will gather together and fight, and three flags will be raised in the Levant, and then the Sufyani will fight them until they reach Qarqisiya. Those who ride the openwork ones will fall on the hills of the Peninsula and the Levant and take their women captive, to the point that a man will see the white of his wife’s anklets and will not be able to defend her.

The Turks return the peninsula until they can water their horses from the Euphrates, then Allah sends a plague upon them and kills them, and only one man escapes.

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.”

The Sufyani will fight the Turks, then their eradication will be at the hands of the Mahdi, and it is the first brigade that the Mahdi will convene and send to the Turks.

Only one epic remains, the first of which is the Turkish epic on the island

Then Allah Almighty will send death upon their horses and it will dismount them, and there will be Allah’s greatest slaughter among them, and there will be no abandonment after it.

If you see the first Turks on the island, fight them until you defeat them or may Allah suffice you with their death, for they are exposing the sanctuary there, as it is a sign of the departure of the people of the Maghreb, and the collapse of their kingdom on that day.

More than one person told us, on the authority of Ibn Ayyash, on the authority of someone who told him on the authority of Makhul, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “The Turks have two going out: They go out on the island, encircling camel-like animals, and Allah will grant the Muslims victory over them, and Allah’s greatest slaughter will be among them.”

The people of your Prophet’s household have signs, so stick to the land until the Turks conflict with a weak man, so he is deposed after two years of his pledge of allegiance, and the Turks oppose the Romans, and the western part of the Damascus Mosque is eclipsed, and three people are expelled from the Levant, and the destruction of their king comes from wherever they started, and the Turkish Bedouins will be in the peninsula, and the Romans will be in Palestine, and Abdullah will follow Abdullah, until their armies meet in Circassia.

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.

If Al-Sufyani appears against Al-Aqba’ and Al-Mansur Al-Yamani, the Turks and Romans will emerge and Al-Sufyani will appear over them

If the Turks revolt against the men of the black banners and fight them, the reins of their animals will not dry out until the people of Morocco leave.

Al-Hakam bin Nafi’ told us, on the authority of Jarrah, on the authority of Artat, who said: “If the Turks and the Romans meet, and a village in Damascus is eclipsed, and a group to the west of its mosque falls, three flags will be raised in the Levant: Al-Aqba’, Al-Ashab, and Al-Sufyani. A man will be besieged in Damascus and he will be killed and those with him, and two men from Banu Abi Sufyan will come out, and the victory will be for the second. If Al-Aqba’s army arrives from Egypt, Al-Sufyani will appear on them with his army, and the Turks will be killed. And the Romans in Qarqisia until the lions of the earth are satisfied with their meat.”

If Al-Sufyani appears against Al-Aqba’, Al-Mansur, Al-Kindi, the Turks, and the Romans, he leaves and becomes in Iraq, and then the century of Dhul-Shifa rises, then Abdullah will perish, and the deposed will be deposed, and he will be affiliated with people in the city of Zawra out of ignorance, then Al-Akhs will appear on the city by force, and he will kill a great mass there, and will kill six rams from the Abbas family, and slaughter there a patient slaughter, then he will go out to Kufa.

Al-Sufyani enters Kufa and takes it captive for three days, and kills sixty thousand of its people. Then he stays there for eighteen nights, dividing its wealth. He enters Kufa after fighting the Turks and Romans in Qirqisa. Then he splits a gap on them from behind them, and a group of them returns to Khurasan. He kills the horses of Al-Sufyani and demolishes the forts until he enters Kufa. He seeks the people of Khurasan, and a people calling for the Mahdi will appear in Khurasan. Then he sends Al-Sufyani to Medina. Then he takes a group of people from the family of Muhammad until he returns them to Kufa, then Al-Mahdi and Mansour leave Kufa on the run, and Al-Sufyani sends in search of them. When Al-Mahdi and Mansour reach Mecca, the Sufyani’s army descends on Al-Bayda and overwhelms them. Then Al-Mahdi goes out until he passes through Medina and rescues those who were in it from Bani Hashim. The black flags come forward until they descend on the water, and the Sufyani’s companions in Kufa inform of their landing and they flee, then he descends on Kufa to rescue those in it from Bani Hashim, and a people called the Asab emerge from the black of Kufa. They have no weapons except a few, and among them is a group of the people of Basra. They overtake the companions of the Sufyani and rescue what is in their hands from the captives of Kufa, and the black banners send out the pledge of allegiance to the Mahdi.

The sign of the Mahdi is when the Turks descend upon you, and your caliph who collects money dies, and a weak person is appointed as his successor, and he is deposed two years after his pledge of allegiance, and the western part of the Damascus Mosque is eclipsed, and the departure of three people from the Levant, and the departure of the people of the Maghreb to Egypt, and that is the leadership of the Sufyani.

The first brigade that the Mahdi will convene is that he will send it to the Turks and defeat them, and take their captives and wealth, then he will go to the Levant and conquer it, then he will free every slave with him and give their companions their value.

I have heard that the Mahdi will stay for fourteen years in Jerusalem, then he will die, and then after him he will be of honorable mention from the people of Tabi’. He is called Mansour in Jerusalem. Twenty-one years, fifteen of which are justice, three years of oppression, and three years of which are deprivation of property. No one is given a dirham. The people of the Dhimma are divided among those who fight him. He is the one who exiles the loyal ones to the depths of the depths. He is the one who tramples the son of Ishmael like the rarest cow is trampled upon. A prophet, and his nickname is the nickname of a prophet. He goes to him from the depths until he meets a victor in the depths of Jericho, and he fights him and kills him. Then the Lord reigns and banishes the sons of Qahtan and the sons of Ismail, to the two cities of Kanz al-Arab, Medina and Sana’a. He is the one who will expel the Turks and the Romans at his hands until they rule from the depths of Antioch to Mount Carmel in Palestine in the meadow of the city of Acre. The Lord reigns for three years, then he is killed, and after him Haim the Second Mahdi will reign. Who kills the Romans and defeats them, and conquers Constantinople, and resides there for three years, four months and ten days, then Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him), descends and the kingdom is handed over to him.

When the Romans came, the people would not be able to support themselves after them, and with them on that day would be the Turks, Burjan, and Al-Saqalaba

Naim told us, on the authority of Maslama bin Ali al-Dimashqi, on the authority of Abdullah bin al-Sa’ib, on the authority of Abu Mudlij, on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), what he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “The best dead killed under the shade of the sky since Allah Almighty created His creation, the first of them was Abel, who was killed unjustly by the cursed Cain, then the dead of the prophets who were killed by their nations sent to them when they said: Our Lord is Allah and they called upon Him. Then the believer of the family of Pharaoh, then the companion of Yasin, then Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib, then the dead of Badr, then the dead of Uhud, then the dead of Hudaybiyyah, then the dead of Al-Ahzab, then the dead of Hunayn, then those who will be killed after me, killed by rogue and immoral Kharijites, then return your hand to whatever Allah wills of the mujahideen in His cause, until the battle of the Romans, their slain is like the slain of Badr, then the battle of the Turks, so their slain is like those killed on the day of the battles, then The epics of epics, their dead are like those killed on the day of Hunayn, and after that there will be no epic in Islam for its people until the day the trumpet is blown.”

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.

Abu Al-Mughirah told us, on the authority of Ibn Ayyash, on the authority of Aqeel bin Mudrik, on the authority of Yunus bin Saif Al-Khawlani, who said: “You will reconcile with the Romans a secure peace until you, and they, the Turks, invade Kerman, and Allah will give you victory. Then the Romans will say: The cross has defeated, and the Muslims will become angry and side with each other, and you will fight fiercely at the hilly meadow, then Allah will give you victory over them, and then there will be epics after that.”
