Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

There will be four heretics from Quraysh

Abdul Quddus told us, he heard Ibn Ayyash, he said: Saeed bin Khaled told me, on the authority of Makhoul, on the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ, and Saeed bin Khaled, on the authority of Ibn Abi Zakaria, on the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ, similar to that. He said: So I asked him about them, and he called them like that, alike.

You named him after the names of your pharaohs, so that there will be in this nation a man called Al-Walid who is more evil to this nation than Pharaoh was to his people.

There will be a liar and a liar in Thaqif

Yazid bin Harun told us, on the authority of Suhail bin Dhakwan, who said: When Al-Hajjaj killed Ibn al-Zubayr, he went to Asma, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and she said: What did Ibn al-Zubayr do? He said: Allah killed him. She said: By Allah, I killed him firmly and firmly. I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, saying: “Three people will emerge from Thaqif: the liar, the tail, and the mubir. As for the liar, he has gone, and as for the mubir, you are the mubir.” She said: As for the tail, we have not seen him yet. He said: Ibn Omar, (may Allah be pleased with him), passed by Ibn al-Zubayr being crucified and said: A nation whose worst you are has succeeded.

There will be a man from my descendants with a shining face and he will be filled with justice

Perhaps you are the bravest of the Umayyads

After Othman, (may Allah be pleased with him), there will be twelve kings from the Umayyads, or even kings

I advise you to stay in your homes, for this matter will happen to a man from the Umayyads who will follow you for twenty-two years, then he will die, and then after him will be followed by caliphs who will succeed each other for a few years, until a man with his mark in his eye will follow you, meaning Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik, who collects money in a way that no one had collected before him, who lives for nineteen years and something, then dies, then a man among them will follow you, a young man who will give people gifts that no one before him had given him, then a man from his household will attack him. It was hidden and he was not mentioned, so he kills him and blood spills on his hands, then he comes to you heading from here, and he pointed to the island.

Would you like a break from Hisham? So he had been dead for two years or so. Rather, the death of this boy from his family is like the sleep of a child. Rather, he who comes from here will be killed. His name and his father’s name are eight letters like a worn-out garment that is torn from one place to another.

Ka'b did not tell me anything in my authority except that I found it as he said, except for this, for he told me that a man from Thaqif would kill me, so he showed me that I was the one who killed him.

The temptation of Ibn al-Zubayr is one of the worst temptations

You wander with your heads and do not know what the souls have become

I am more afraid that they will miss me than that they will be harmed

Oh Allah, do not return it. A time will soon come upon people when death will be more beloved to the world than red gold

Scarcity has destroyed him, and I am miserable with a bad environment, because it is easier for me to pursue an upright mountain than to pursue a deferred kingdom.

The tribulation of the sleeper will be better than the one who is lying down, and the one who is lying down will be better than the one sitting, and the one who is sitting will be better than the one standing, and the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one who is walking will be better than one who is riding, and the one who is riding will be better than one who runs. All of them will be killed in Hell in the days of turmoil, when the man who is sitting with him does not feel safe. Shackle yourself and your hand, and enter your house, then enter your house, then enter your mosque, and then do like this.

Abd al-Razzaq told us, on the authority of Muammar, on the authority of Abu Ishaq, on the authority of Amara ibn Abd, he heard Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, (may Allah be pleased with him), say: “Beware of temptation, no one identifies it, for by Allah, no one detects it except that it destroys him just as a torrent destroys him. It is suspected of coming until the ignorant person says: This looks like it, and it appears as if it is moving, so when you see it, gather in your homes, break your swords, and cut your bowstrings.”

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: Woe to Arabs because of evil which has drawn near! He will escape who restrains his hand

I know of a trial that is about to be like the one before it, like a rabbit's blow, and I know the way out of it is to hold my hand until someone comes to kill me.

There are two groups of Muslims, I don't care which one I recognized you, they were killed by ignorance

When temptation approaches, it becomes suspicious, and when it returns, it spreads. And temptation is fertilized by contentions and produced by complaints, so do not stir up temptation when it is heated, and do not expose yourself to it when it appears. Indeed, temptation is lurking in Allah’s lands. It sets in its snouts. It is not permissible for anyone from the wilderness to awaken it until Allah Almighty permits it. Woe to whoever takes its snouts, then woe to him.

When temptation approaches, it becomes suspicious, and when it turns away, it becomes apparent

Unsheath the sword

You enter your house, then you close your door. Whoever comes to you, say thus, will be guilty of my iniquity and your iniquity
