Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

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.

Abu Omar told us, on the authority of Ibn Lahi’ah, on the authority of Abdul Wahhab bin Hussein, on the authority of Muhammad bin Thabit, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Al-Harith, on the authority of Ibn Masoud (may Allah be pleased with him), on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “If the Sufyani crosses the Euphrates and reaches a place called Aqarqufa, Allah Almighty will erase faith from his heart, and he will be killed with it to a river called Al-Dujail seventy thousand wearing adorned swords, and more, and they will appear on the House of Gold, so they kill the female fighter and the heroes, and open the stomachs of the women, saying: Perhaps she is pregnant with a boy. Women from the Quraysh on the shore of the Tigris are crying out for help to the people of the ships passing by, asking them to carry them until they bring them to the people, so do not carry them out of hatred for the Banu Hashim, so do not hate the Banu Hashim, for among them is the Prophet of Mercy, and among them is the pilot in Paradise. As for the women, when the night overwhelms them, they take refuge in its depths in a place of fear. The immoral people, then the support of victory will come to them until they rescue the offspring and women of Sufyani from Baghdad and Kufa.”

The evil eye is torment, the sin is the year and famine, and the Qaf is a people who, at the end of time, will slander the descendants of Abbas in a city called Al-Zawra, and a great massacre will be killed there, and upon them the Hour will come.

Al-Sufyani spreads his soldiers across the horizons after entering Kufa and Baghdad, and his branch from across the river reaches him from the people of Khorasan, and the people of the East attack them and kill their unclean things. When he hears that, he sends a great army to Istakhr, against whom is a man from the Umayyads, and they will have an attack in Qums, an attack in Dawlat al-Ray, and an attack on the borders of Zaranj. Then, the Sufyani orders the killing of the people of Kufa and the people of Medina, and at that point The black flags will come from Khorasan, and over all the people will be a young man from Banu Hashim, with his right hand empty. May Allah make his affairs and his path easy. Then there will be an encounter with him on the borders of Khorasan, and Al-Hashemi will go on the road to irrigation, and a man from Banu Tamim from the loyalists called Shuaib bin Saleh will be sent to Istakhar to the Umayyad. He, the Mahdi, and Al-Hashemi will meet in the white area of Istakhr, and there will be a great battle between them. A man from Bani Uday will be upon them, so Allah will appear. His supporters and soldiers, then there will be an attack in al-Mada'in after the two attacks of Rayy, and in Aqarqufa there is an attack in Saylimiyya, about which every survivor will report. Then after that there will be a great slaughter in Babylon, and an attack in a land of the land of Nisibis. Then, in particular, a group of people from among their ranks, namely the Asab, mostly from Kufa and Basra, will emerge in order to rescue the Kufan captives in their hands.
