Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

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.

Their matter remains clear until the pledge of allegiance is given to two of their boys, and when they reach that point, they disagree among themselves, and their disagreement is prolonged, until three banners are raised in the Levant, and when they are raised, it is the reason for the cessation of their rule.

The black banners that emerge from Khorasan continue to fly in victory until they disagree among themselves. If they disagree among themselves, three banners are raised in the Levant.

If the owners of the black banners disagreed among themselves, a village in Iram, called Harasta, would be eclipsed, and the three banners would emerge in the Levant at that time.

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.

The last sign of the demise of the rule of the Banu Abbas are three kings among them who succeed one another. Their names are the names of the prophets. They will not exceed them after these kings. The duration of the Banu Abbas among these three kings is forty years. If you see differences among them, and a group of Banu Hashim gathered between the two rivers, and the mandate of a man from the Banu Abbas towards the west, and the clashing of the black flags, and zeroing in the navel of the Levant, and the killing of the governor of Egypt, and the prevention of its tax, then it is a sign of the interruption of their period.

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

Those who ride the openwork will fall on the hills of the Levant and the Peninsula

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 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.

And I saw a star in the suns of Buqin from the suns of Abu Jaafar, then it curved until its two sides met and it became like a ring on an hour of the night.

Abdullah bin Marwan told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abu Al-Hawsa, on the authority of Tawus, he said: “There will be three tremors: a severe tremor in the Yemen, a stronger tremor in the Levant, and a tremor in the East, which is Al-Jahf, and it was in the Yemen and the Levant, but it was not in the East.”

In the time of the second Sufyani, the character was distorted, he was guided in the Levant until every people thought that he would be the ruin of what came next to them.

Baqiyya, Abd al-Quddus, and al-Hakam bin Nafi told us, on the authority of Safwan, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Jubair bin Nufayr, “on the authority of Heraclius, the great Roman, who said: Our example and the example of the Arabs is like a man who had a house and people settled in it, so he said: Inhabit what you have put right, and be careful not to spoil it. So he took you out of it, so they lived in it for a period of time, then he looked at them and saw that they had spoiled it, so he took them out of it, and he brought others and settled them in it, and he stipulated for them as he stipulated on Those before them, the land of the Levant, and its Lord, Allah Almighty, inhabited it with the Children of Israel, and they were its inhabitants for a time, then they changed and corrupted, so he looked at them and expelled them from it and settled them after them for a period, then he looked at us and found that we had changed and corrupted, so he removed us from it and settled you in it, Arabs.

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.”

If the people of Syria perish, there will be no good for my nation

The people of the Levant are the scourge of Allah in His land. He takes revenge on them on whomever He wishes of His servants, and it is forbidden for their hypocrites to prevail over their believers, and they do not die except in grief and anxiety.

Every tribulation is roasted until it is in the Levant, and if it is in the Levant, then it is the summer, and it is the darkness

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

O people, do not consider temptations to be anything until they come from the Levant, which is blind

Meh, do not insult the people of the Levant, there are many people, for among them are the Abdal

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.”

There will be a trial in the Levant in which it will sway like water swells in a waterskin, revealing you while you are regretting severe hunger, and the smell of bread in it will be sweeter than the smell of musk.
