Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

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.

Ibn Wahb told us ، On the authority of Ibn Lahia ، Walith bin Saad ، On the authority of Khalid bin Yazid ، On the authority of Saeed bin Abi Hilal ، On the authority of Abu Salamah ، On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas ، He said: “A boy will grow up in the Romans who will grow young in one year, as young as a boy in ten years ، So it will be in Roman land and the Romans will own it for themselves ، He says: Until when will we defeat these people over a part of our land? I will go out and fight them until I defeat them for what they have defeated, or they will defeat me for what remains under my feet. ، He will depart in seven thousand ships until he is between Akka and Al-Arish ، Then he sets fire to his ships ، Then the people of Egypt will leave Egypt ، The people of the Levant are from the Levant ، Until they reach the Arabian Peninsula ، That was the day when Abu Hurairah used to say: Woe to the Arabs because of the evil that has approached ، On that day, the rope and the helmet are dearer to the man than his family and wealth ، The Arabs seek help from their Bedouins ، Then they walk until they reach the depths of Antioch ، It will be the greatest of epics until the horses go to their knees ، And Allah raises victory over everyone until the angels say: O Lord ، Do you not support your faithful servants? He says: Until their martyrs increase ، A third is killed ، A third is returned ، And a third is patient ، Then Allah will lose the third that is returned ، The Romans say: We will continue fighting you until you come out to us, every few of you who are not among you ، Then the non-Arabs come out and say: Allah forbid that we go into disbelief after Islam ، That is when Allah Almighty becomes angry and strikes with his sword ، And stabbed with his spear ، There is no informant left among them except he is killed ، Then they move on ، They do not pass by a city without opening it with the takbir ، Until they come to the city of Rum and find its bay, Batha ، Then Allah Almighty will open it for them ، On that day, such-and-such and such a virgin will be removed ، ، ، They meet him at Elia's house ، They find that he has confined eight thousand women and twelve thousand fighters there ، ، ، ،
